I think I've read a lo..."Animorphs."<br /><br />I think I've read a lot of the books that have been mentioned, but I owned and read EVERY "Animorphs" book.<br /><br />I also didn't see anyone mention the "Boxcar Children."

And all de Henry's horse books too. I was into Dumas for a while- really thought D'Artangan was hot. Had my heart broken with Queen Margot. Then, I read my first adult book-LOTR and I've been fantasy fan ever since.sbjameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986950185596914217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971798860443757706.post-91048195052885513482010-04-16T09:39:27.856-07:002010-04-16T09:39:27.856-07:00OOh- this is such a cool topic. I was REALLY into ...OOh- this is such a cool topic. I was REALLY into the Babysitters club when I was younger, I mean, REALLY! So much so that I bought all of the spin-offs, like the How To be a Babysitter books, and the one that was Dawn's diary (and her best friend Summer!). I really liked Claudia a lot, she was the best- and I was the first person in line to buy the special double books- you know the thick ones that were specials, like the Babysitter Club goes to a Snow Cottage for a week! Anyway, I was also really into Sweet Valley High and then my dark side emerged. I became a fan of R.L Stine's Goosebumps series and then the Fear Street books. I loved scaring myself! I really liked Number the Stars by Lois Lowry and the Fudge series. I can go on and on...but I don't want to take up all of your space.Marquita Hockadayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931541485018513281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971798860443757706.post-72857048256092059132010-04-16T08:38:43.168-07:002010-04-16T08:38:43.168-07:00ZOMG, every one of these is a GIANT FLASHBACK.

Inspired me to read..inspired me to write *bows to books*<br /><br />PS. The Cheater was the first Fear Street book I read and seeing that cover up there gave me that mushy-creeped out feeling.
