What book did you read when you were a kid that you absolutely loved? It can be any book from when you were 18 or younger.

I remember rereading Charlotte's Web 3-4 times. But we're going 18 and below... I LOVED the first 4 HPs. I say it's a tie.

WillyH19 · January 2014

Little Women. I still do a re-read every year or so.

A Time to Kill was the first book I remember reading and actually enjoying. I think it's the only book I had to read in high school that I enjoyed. I read WAY more now that I get to pick what I want to read!

Mick Harte Was Here by Barbara Park and anything by Jack London or Stephen King. I was a weird kid!

goatlady12 · January 2014

I think the only book I enjoyed in high school was Remember Me by Christopher Pike.

lehc723 · January 2014

I LOVED a lot of crappy Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley books, but examples I'm not embarrassed of, off the top of my head:

To Kill A Mockingbird

Little Women

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (still my favorite book!)

Oh, and all of the Anne of Green Gables books

I loved Garden of Shadows by VC Andrews. I think I was around 12 or 13 when I read that and I thought it was so scandalous!

snuff9861 · January 2014

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

The first couple of Harry Potter books

Anne of Green Gables

Pride and Prejudice

xxjen015 · January 2014

Harry Potter (any and all!)

Sloppy Firsts and the rest of the Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty (I still re-read this every so often!!)

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie

The Giver
it's going to become a movie this year

sjs1013 · January 2014

I loved Bridge to Terabithia, The Joy Luck Club, Little Women, and Charlotte's Web.

I think I was at least 18 and under for most of the Harry Potter series.. It was a rather nice surprise as a kid--I was getting allergy treatments at this one doctor's office from the time I was maybe 8 or 9 up until junior year of high school and the secretary at the office got me the first 3 or 4 of the series in hardback as a gift. I still have those.

I also remember enjoying Little Women, The Secret Garden and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. (I finally found an ebook version with all the Oz books, so I'm a bit excited about finally reading the rest. I've only read two from the series.)

sjs1013 · January 2014

@consciousdear88 I got the Wonderful Wizard of Oz series last spring after seeing the movie. It was a special in the kindle store the weekend the movie came out for like $2. I've only read a little bit but I want to read the entire thing. I may work on it this weekend.

consciousdear88 · January 2014

@sjs1013 I got lucky and it showed up in my recommendations on my kindle. I did start rereading the first book on the way to my inlaws.

Wow this post makes me feel old since the first HP book came out after I turned 18!! I didn't read the first one until I was 23.

Anyway...I loved all of Christopher Pike and VC Andrews books. That's pretty much all I read when I was a kid.

no way! I hope they don't ruin it! This is my choice, even though i didnt get the end until i read it after about 8 years of not reading it and was blown away. I still read it and number the stars occaisionally.

I'm scared of the movie because they did cast Taylor Swift in it....eek!

@linnae939 I forgot about Number the Stars. I loved that, too!
