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).
Roald Dahl’s books and A Series of Unfortunate Events.
The BFG was my favorite book as a child for a long time, but really all of Dahl’s stories were magical. They made me see the world in a new way as a child that I still think about today.
I loved the humor and writing of the Unfortunate Events series. It was also really cool that there were so many books, and when I got to book 13 it had been such a long time I’d spent with the siblings that I had become so invested in their story.
Coraline was the book that marked the transition of reading more mature mature books. I remember finding it on the bookshelf of the school library and being so intrigued by the cover. My friend and I both checked out a copy and devoured the book. It’s one of my overall favorite reading experiences.
