its just got me thinkin cause we were talkin about this at skool the other day...
what books did people read throughout their childhood

i loved enid blyton and the magic faraway tree... and i read almost all her books...


i think it came from their world being better then ours with topsy turvy land and others.. ummm i also read like all her secret seven and famous five... and all the ones about bording school with amelia jane
and babysitters club
and i also used read emily rodda and her teen power incorporated
and then most like crime fiction books, and nancy drew hey its all coming back to me...
i like harry potter now...
so who read what...??? can include comics i guess...

i loved teen power!

oh and nancy drew... i'm trying to figure out how to include her in my crime fiction independent investigation ;) never quite got the hardy boys though

did anyone read the gymnasts (i think they were a spinoff of the babysitters club)

and the narnia series, and anne of green gables

anything with jocelyn osgood, nothing with cairo jim!

hey thats right

i had the whole series of anne of green gables and i also liked hardy boys... hey i also read flowers in the attic in year 5 or year 4 cause my best friends mum owned it.. hehe i think i was a bit of a mature reader, though i think if i read it now i might catch more details then i did back then...
and then i read john marsdens books and i met him... he was really quite disappointing.

I couldnt stand those bloody Choose your own adventure books! I dont think i ever sucessfully got through one without dying half a dozen times.

There is a fork in the road ahead, you can go either left or right.
To turn left go to page 94
To turn right go to page 156

i think i read heaps of biographies of musicians.
don't think i learnt much from them. except heaps of them are blind/deaf.

oh and i remember that i started reading 'fear street' because i thought i was getting too mature for the goosebump stuff. :D

The Babysitter's club was the main one for me. The rest were really filler-in-erers until the next BSC book came out. I had everything- the board game, the mysteries, the supermysteries.. even the Babysitter's Club Guide For Babysitting.

So, so sad.

I read a few of the teen power books, lots of Roald Dahl's, heaps of Goosebumps, and lots of individual novels.

It's so sad though- I remember reading all those books and thinking, "Wow! I can't wait until I'm 13! I'll be so grown up."
Those books give a warped view of the world.
