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).
The Dear America series. I DEVOURED those books growing up. I loved the ribbons as bookmarks and the different periods in history.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a big one as well. Rented it so much from the school library the librarians actually refused to lend it to me one time because other kids wanted a turn with it
And finally the Harry Potter series. I was the same age as the titular character when the first book released so it was like we grew up together in a way. I’m doing a reread of the series right now and I almost forgot how big of an impact it had on me growing up
The titanic book in the Dear America series wrecked me
