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).

    I’m really surprised nobody has said A Series of Unfortunate Events! I was always reading as a kid, but ASOUE is the first series where I devoured every book as soon as I got my hands on it. Something about Lemony Snicket’s writing style really resonated with me, I guess.

      The TV series is debatably good or bad, depending on the person, but the last episode, “The End,” apparently Lemony (forgot his real name) was happy to have a chance to fix the ending of the series. and it blew me away. While I have no plans on re-reading the books, if I did, I would take the ending of the tv show over the book.

      My third grade teacher would read these to us during breaks and it’s one of my favorite school memories! I was impatient with how slow she went so I went ahead and read them all. That was the same year The End was released–I remember that day🥺

      After the Giver this is what I came her to see! I remember waiting for each new book in the series to be released and then read them to my kids when they were little. My youngest is 9 and I’m getting ready to pull them out for her to read soon.
