I FINALLY just read this book last year after struggling for years. (Couldn’t get past the Old English) As promised by others, I found the rhythm eventually and fell deep into the pages. Maybe I will read it again soon!

Clan of the Cave Bear
Secret Garden
Indian in the Cupboard
as well as The Bridge to Terabithia
Beond Another Door By Sonia Levitin. Always look for it at rummage sales bc its out of print. first supernatural book i ever read. “..Daria was a dreamer.

I do too.?
The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper.
The Valley of Adventure by enid Blyton… I dunno how many times I’ve read it!?
That looks like I great book! Never heard of it before
It’s from her Adventure Series which I absolutely love… It has gorgeous places, waterfalls, picnics, adventures, and a parrot! Really, the nature described is so damn beautiful when you imagine it!?
I love Enid Blyton
@Sian I assume you’ve read the whole series and that you’ve read many others, which is your favourite series?
I have read all Enid Blyton books, my favourites are: Famous Five, Secret Seven, Romany the Gipsy, Noddy, The Faraway tree, The circus, and many lesser known short stories.
Go ask alice
haven’t read that in ages
I loved it as a teen.
I was a Stephen King nut
I was when he first started , but not so much anymore.
Carrie was what did it for me
V. C. Andrews too.

Homecoming ♡
Oh my gosh yes! I should read this again! Did you read the whole series?
What?! No? Whole series?! I LOVED this book but didn’t know there was a series?
????
I absolutely love the cover illustration too!
Harry Potter!
And the Miss Piggle Wiggle books
Little Women & Anne of Green Gables & What Katy did .
I’m a bit embarrassed to say it, but Breaking Dawn was/is that book for me.
Breaking dawn a kid’s book?
Not really, but it brings out the childhood vibe for me (me and my friends adored vampire stuff back in middle school)
k
Also Anne of Green Gables was the first book I ever took from a library.
Did you like it?
A lot! I bought a copy for myself, and still occasionally read through it whenever I feel nostalgic.
It’s probably one of the best kids’ books out there.
I don’t like any vampire books, just not my taste. They are quite popular here in Germany.
Oh, I thought you were asking about Anne of Green Gables haha.
I don’t like vampires anymore either, but I used to when they first started gaining popularity.
I used to love ghosts, pixies, fairies and imps as a child. 😉
Another one would also be The Secret Garden (I am doing the translation of the title from Bulgarian myself, so I apologize if that’s not what it’s really called)
The secret garden is a wonderful children’s classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett or My secret garden. a rather explicit feminist book by Nancy Friday?
I meant The Secret Garden, the children’s book. 🙂
Can you recommend any Bulgarian authors?
Dimiter Talev, Ivan Vazov, Georgi Gospodinov, Elin Pelin, Miroslav Penkov, Krassi Zourkova
These authors are my personal favorites.
Thank you!
Room 13 by Robert Swindells. I remembered it when I had to write about how I felt about reading for a creative writing course and ordered a few of his books. It’s teen fiction but some of it is quite shocking for kids.
The phantom tollbooth, charlottes Web, Nancy Drew, and the secret garden.
Bobbsey Twins
I loved those when I was young
