I loved it. I remember checking it out repeatedly and my mom asking if I was sure I didn’t want something different lol still has such relevance.

I would say The Snow Queen, but lots of people know that story as well as many other stories by Hans Christian Andersen. So I’ll say The Princess and the Goblin.

Sarah Hassan Actually,I’ve read only a part of this courtesy of the Collier’s Junior Classics handed down from older cousins.Same as with The Hundred Dresses.But I still read these excerpts whenever I get my hands on those particular volumes.I just love them.I always go back to the magic of when Princess Irene first meets her great great grand mother.I never get tired of Wanda and her story,albeit late triumph, with the hundred dresses.

I adored “I’ve lost my yellow zebra” as a child and one when I was slightly older about a girl nicknamed Hannah Banana and she died. Don’t recall what the book what called though and that upsets me. #HouseLoveBug

Leo the Lop when I was really little, about a lop-eared bunny who lives with upright ear bunnies. Can’t remember the author. I also loved Deenie by Judy Blume. Everything I read was quite well known, but Deenie wasn’t huge when I was a kid. In my teen years, I really loved Letters From the Inside and So Much to Tell You, both by John Marsden and no one talks about them, which I don’t understand at all. #houselovebug

Inheritance cycle… I live in Albania and I read the book when I was 14/15 y.o. in English. My friends all read only books translated in Albanian therefore I was a lone wolf in the sector of books in foreign language. This series was translate almost 10 years later #houselovebug
