Could be the book you loved the most, the series you daydreamed about, book that inspired you, fascinated you, your comfort read…anything.
And why.
I LOVED the Anne McCaffrey Pern books. I would walk around daydreaming about new adventures set in the books’ world. The Dragonsong books really connected my love of music with my love of fantasy (and animals).
His Dark Materials. I was in my teens when I read it but I was completely captivated by every part of it. It’s been over twenty years but I love it still.
This for me too, though mainly just the first book because the other two weren’t released when I first read it. I was so sad when I lost (lent to someone) my first, very well read copy of Northern Lights. I’ve not seen a cover I like nearly as much since.
I still think about the ending all the time. It was the first time a book broke my little heart. It hurts so good.
I was 12 when The Amber Spyglass came out and I vividly remember bawling my eyes out at the botanical garden scene. I didn’t even quite understand why I was so upset at the time.
To this day that scene makes me bawl my eyes out.
I understood the point of it but damn would 2 windows have really hurt that much??? ☹️👎
Me too! It lives rent free in my brian
The ending wrecked me so I kind of hate it
The ending of that series was the first thing I had ever read that really kinda ate away at me for a long while afterwards. I wasn’t used to stories ending without a sense of ‘happily-ever-after’ closure at that point 😂
It was one of the book series that cemented my love of bittersweet endings.
