@Nicci so was I. Then again, they always say the book is always better than the movie
@Christina right! About 99% of the time
If you’ve ever read the lovely bones, it’s a great but sad book. There’s also a movie too and it’s just as good as the book. The lovely bones is that 1%
I agree. There are very few movies that are as good as the book and that book is one of them!

I was hooked way earlier than a teen. For me I learned how to read at age 4, and I never stopped reading. I can’t quite remember what it was that I was reading at that age. I do know that when I was young I loved the Wrinkle in Time books and this young mystery series with the child detective called Sammy Keyes.
I was hooked as soon as I learned to read, around age 5 or 6. One of the earliest books I remember independently reading in Elementary School was Jillian Jiggs. Had that whole book memorized lol. And Bernstein Bears…In Grandmas Attic….the Babysitters Club….then later on I remember Jane Austen when I was about 12, and The Outsiders…too many to remember as I always had a book in my hand from age 5 or 6
I remember always reading -Beverly cleary and Judy Blume books really got me
@Tara yes! And the Babysitters Club
What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Still a favorite of mine, way better than the movie!
I did not know that movie was based on a book. I watched it so long ago and loved it. Now I need to get the book…
@Tara The book is amazing!
