I wore out my copies of Harriet the Spy and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing/Fudge books when I was young. I also loved Little House on the Prairie.

I know very few people who don't like Harry Potter (and one of those has no right to judge, as he's never attempted reading it, and has just decided he doesn't like it because everyone talks about it so much).

Love the Tracy Beaker books; actually, haven't found a Jacqueline Wilson book I don't like, though there are loads of her books I haven't read yet. Also love the Goosebumps books.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Kaye Umansky's Pongwiffy books, which I also absolutely loved, and do to this day!

It depends what country you're in - and what the thing you're referring to is - to whether childhood stops at 16, 18, or 21. In the UK, for example, you're considered an adult technically at 16, but certain things (voting and drinking, for example) you can't do until you're 18. In the US though, you're considered an adult in some things at 18, but in others at 21. So, go with whichever you want.

It depends wha..."

Ok. When answering (the question) I have thought 0-12. I suppose its as good a way to answer it as any. If the age in question was 13-18 the better question would be fave books in youre teens.

I love Jaqueline Wilson as well :D

[Victoria]

Oda: I would have thought 12 years and under too, but - as I said - it's all a matter of perspective. All the ones I listed were from while I was in primary school (elementary school) which means before I turned 12.

Goosebumps was big. So was Fear Street, I wanted to be scared out of my mind, well that series did it. For a few years at least.

I still has a goal(life long, a Reading bucket list thing) to finish the nancy drew series. I read another one 2-3 years ago they are stil enjoyable even if am a bit over the target audience. So shouldent be a problem.

I read a lot of kids books. My excuse is that I need to, since I also write for children. I have to watch cartoons sometimes for the same reason. Got to know what's already been done, right? ;)

(Yeah, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it, LOL!)

What kind of reading disability? If you don't mind me asking?

[Stormy]

Just that I find it hard to read and spell words i'm okay with simple words small words or big words are really hard for me I don't really know how to explain it

[Victoria]

Natalie wrote: "Just that I find it hard to read and spell words i'm okay with simple words small words or big words are really hard for me I don't really know how to explain it"

Oh, OK, I see. Yeah, then books aimed at Young adults or younger would be easier. But that's OK; still gives you plenty to choose from, and there's nothing wrong with reading what you're more comfortable reading.

Besides, many in this group are adults - often with kids of their own - who prefer to read books aimed at young adults or children, so you're in good company! :)

[Stormy]

It's not a big deal with today's technology it's quite simple I have voice over on my iPad so it reads out the books to me soif I want to read the book myself it just has to be young adult or younger like right now voice over is writing this for me as my spelling is not that good either Plus I don't mind people asking :)

Sometimes I think how advanced we've become is a bad thing, but in all honesty, technology has helped a lot of people read more books, and do other things.

I wouldn't even be able to be on this group if it wasn't for speaking technology myself; writing, and the reading and understanding of words is fine for me, but I'm blind, so without speaking technology of some type I wouldn't be able to even use a computer.

It didn't get going for me until 200 pages in I believe. Or around there somewhere. Once she's in the field, and we get to see the true craziness of Oz, and all the evil going on. That's when it got interesting for me!

I just started Red Queen and I like it so far. Wasn't sure about it at first, but it's good.

[Heather]

Natalie wrote: "Hey what are some of the books you can remember

I'm going to ditto on Roald Dahl as well. I also loved The Littles, Dear America books, Little House on the Prairie, American Girl books and Boxcar Children. OH also pretty much any Sharon Creech book and Charlotte's Web.

I also forgot The Mixed Up Files of Basil E. Frankweiler (one of my absolute favorites), Winnie The Pooh, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Stargirl, pretty much any Ann Rinaldi book, His Dark Materials, There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom and there's probably even more. I real A LOT as a child.

Finished reading which was a fun, fresh read with an original idea! I liked it overall.

Also finished which was an AMAZING read! If you love this series, you'll want to read this one! A very dark, heartbreaking story, but I think it will be very important background info for the final book!

Also finished my reread of and loved it!

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have much interest in Red Queen. XD;

While I didn't read traditional comics I did get into a manga at a pretty early age.

I've read comics all my life but haven't read very much manga. I plan o changing that eventually.

[Tommy]

I finished this morning. I liked it a lot. Quite a bit more than the first three books of the series.

I started as well. Loved the first book, and just a couple chapters in I'm already liking this one just as much. I really wish this series was more popular.

[[deleted user]]

I read Comics like Asterix & Obelix, and Tintin. Ohh and Also the W.i.t.c.h series :D

Now adays I go with creator owned stuff, mostly from Image comics. Haven't kept up with a Marvel or DC title in about 10 years.

I highly recommend the Sherlock Bones manga, really fun little series, lots of laughs and it did make me cry a few times. Shaman King is also really good and holds up well to it's time.

[Tommy]

Nice, I made a note of those series. Thanks gais.

[Storm]

No prob. ^^

Storm wrote: "I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have much interest in Red Queen. XD;"
Reading it so far, I feel like she combined the Grisha Trilogy, The Selection series (kind of), and sort of the Defiance series. I see little pieces of those books in this one. It's not poorly written, I'm enjoying it so far. But, it's one thing to mimic other writers, it's another thing to make their ideas your own.

[Andrea]

I'm reading and so far loving it. This book make me laugh in the first chapter.

How is everyone today ReadingAttack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns

[Victoria]

Storm wrote: "I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have much interest in Red Queen. XD;"

The version of Red Queen everyone's talking about, I don't have much interest in either. The one I read is from a different series (Philippa Gregory's Cousin's War series).

Oh, yeah... How could I forget Winnie The Pooh? Gotta love those books!

I especially love the stories that feature a lot of Eeyore... Love that gloomy donkey!

I'm still working on Uncle Tom's Cabin, which I'm getting through slowly... Partly because I keep being on the computer, LOL!

Tigger is my Mother's favourite.

Haha just watch the hunger games The Mockingjay part 1 When that movie came out I knew where it was going to end it was so predictable

I am skipping it for some reason? Someone likely told me I wouldn't like it?

[Storm]

Catherine wrote: "Storm wrote: "I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have much interest in Red Queen. XD;""

... Yeah, there's a good reason right there to not read it.. I'm already reading one book that I feel has taken elements from the Mortal Instruments series, I don't wanna start another. It's torture just to finish the one I got.

Got it, maybe I'll look into that version of Red Queen instead of the one everyone's going on about.


Heidi - I looked at the premise and it just... I dunno, there wasn't anything appealing to me. I've already got a lot of sibling centered stories to read so... There didn't seem to be anything NEW brought to the table.
