While thinking about how many books I have, and trying to decide which ones to get rid off (Not enough space
), I started to think about the books I read when I was a kid, and which really got me into the habit of reading.
I can dimly remember starting with the Ladybird reader series, which served our family well, all 40+ volumes were read by about a dozen of us cousins, passing along like prized heirlooms.
Then I graduated to Enid Blytons books. Oh Did we ever love those books. (Feeling nostalgic goes away to see whether they are available as e-books)
Then on to the Hardy Boys adventures. oh and Agatha Christie too.
Brings back so many pleasant memories.
So the Question I throw out to you all is, what books did you start off reading when you were younger. (Mind you the books I mentioned I was reading when I was 6 or 7, managing to convince the librarian that yes, I did want to read the big thick book, with actual stories not picture books)
