Re: Childhood Favorites
Hey, Livre, I have a Mary Downing Hahn collection! I've read about half of them. Deep and Dark and Dangerous rocked! As did The Old Willis Place, Closed for the Season, and The Dead Man in Indian Creek.LivreAmour217 wrote:I used to love reading The Babysitter's Club series and books by Mary Downing Hahn.

On my still-to-read list are All the Lovely Bad Ones, Wait Till Helen Comes, and The Doll in the Garden.

I recently visited Universal Orlando and I wanted to spend all day in the Dr Seuss world. I'd forgotten how much I loved his books.

Awesome! Wait Till Helen Comes and The Doll in the Garden were childhood favorites. I remember checking out Dead Man in Indian Creek in fifth or sixth grade, but for some reason did not finish it (I think it was toward the end of the school year, so I had to turn it in before I was done). Hmm...I guess I'll have to put that one back on the reading list!!!zeldas_lullaby wrote:Hey, Livre, I have a Mary Downing Hahn collection! I've read about half of them.

Great!! I love a straightforward ghost story. They don't write too many anymore, but a current author is Dan Poblocki. When I was a kid, I also loved the books of Betty Ren Wright. If you haven't read her The Dollhouse Murders, Livre, then please put that at the top of your list!!! It's actually still in print!LivreAmour217 wrote:Awesome!

As a child I use to love to read books like Scooby-Doo and a book called "little boy Blue". I read that book so much when I was little, that I still to this day remember every last one of that book.

Magic Treehouse series
Goosebumps series
Animorphs series
Pony Pals series
Animal Ark books
And when I was old enough to get through chapter books on my own, without my parents' help, I started reading Little House on the Prairie, Nancy Drew, Chronicles of Narnia, and Warriors. The Warriors books by Erin Hunter are like my guilty pleasure now haha
Oh, and in middle school I discovered that the Wizard of Oz was actually an entire series so I read all of those too!
