Hello /lit/.
I was just wondering, what books did you enjoy reading when you were younger?
Was there anyone else that read Deltora Quest on this board?
>>7965712
Bunnicula and Gregor series
>>7965712
This series was the shit.
I read just about everything by Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman and have no regrets. Based kids' authors.
I remember reading Deltora Quest and listening to blink 182 on a walkman when the series came out and listening to Led Zeppelin on an iPod by the time the original series concluded

I always liked Redwall. Basic swords and sorcery furry shit.
>>7965712
Why would you unironically read this, even as a child, given an alternative?
>>7966136
It was more than that though! Redwall was viscous and loving. Beautiful and tragic with death of main characters and continuing lines of lineage throughout the books. telling a story that lasts decades in canon.
Mice went around killing baby rats looking for one of their own! That's pretty gangster for a kid's book.

Gems on the spine.

I read the first of these, and even though the little blurb on the cover declared that it was as good as Redwall, I was just never convinced. I loved how rich the world and worldbuilding was however.
This book was some of the first fantasy I read when i was young, this and The Spooks Apprentice, The Amulet Of Samarkand.
Looking back at it, re reads is probably a bad idea.
thanks for bringing back the memories op
Anybody else read these? They were pretty much my favourite series as a teenager. Growing up with the characters helped, too.

got up to mad dogs before i got bored of them
>>7965712
Holy shit! I have this somewhere at my moms still, i dont even know how it came into the house but its there.
I didnt read anything but the part with the big monster
>>7965712
does anyone else remember when reading was interesting and fun?
>>7966308
The first few Spooks books were genuinely pretty good. I only read them as a child because my uncle owned them
>>7966334
I really liked them, they had decent enough imagery that I still remember what the characters looked like, and the ending was actually surprisingly good.
might do a re read this weekend.
>>7965712
I read I think most of them. I can't remember ANYTHING about them though.
I remember getting a set of those as a present then feeling guilty for never reading them
>>7966316
I read the first one and got too bored to bother continuing
I literally couldn't tell the difference if this was the same format as reddit
>>7965712
it's kinda weird when i was 12-13 i read an encyclopedia and the bible.

the opposite actually poorfag with dysfunctional family (we don't celebrate christmas nor bday's).
>>7966486
Was your family Jehovah's Witnesses?
>>7965712
This, Harry Potter and those Skullduggery books
who /starcatcher/ here
the mermaid scene gave me an exceptional pre-teen erection
>>7966316
Yes.
I remember being 10 reading those and thinking how cool it must be to be 16, having girlfriends n' shit. Alas, how the years have gone by.
>>7966377
I'm the exact way. I got the entire series in a single boxset from my cousin for my birthday once and never touched it.
>>7966136
I fucking loved redwall as a kid. It was the same shit every time but I didn't even care because it was that good. Those giant descriptions of food at feasts were comfy as fuck. Everything about the abbey was always comfy as fuck too, everybody being so nice and welcoming all the time. Damn.
Has anybody reread any of them since they were a kid? Are they still good or is it all nostalgia that would be ruined if I reread them as an adult?
>>7966578
These, and
Spiderwick chronicles
Inkheart/inkspell
Chronicles of Narnia
Did anyone read the Keys to the Kingdom series?
I did read original series. I almost started the follow up series but I had to borrow then from the library so i didn't really get a chance.
Anyway they were so fun!
>>7971249
>the follow up series
They weren't as good.
>>7965712
Lord of the Rings and Narnia
Loved the shit out of this series back in grade 6. I've been meaning to read them again and see if their as good as I remember. Or if they're actually horrible.
>>7965712
Oh my god,THANK YOU. I've trying to remember this series for over a year now. I read almost all the books when I was younger but couldn't remember the series name or author.
