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).

    Guessing you’re American based on some of those, possible silver brumby didn’t make it there - it’s an Aussie series from I think the 50s (but could be earlier). I was also into anything by the Pullein-Thompson sisters, Monica Dickens (yes… related to that Dickens!), and Ruby Ferguson’s Jill series; those are all English though

      Yep. I found plenty of English books in our secondhand stores but I don’t recall a single book set in Australia. (Except for A Town Like Alice, later on.)

      Never knew how to pronounce “gymkhana,” but I eventually looked it up and found out I’d done it right in my head!
