Books That Made Me Think I Could Fly (Spoiler: I Couldn’t)
13
items These are a few of the books I used to read as a kid, and some of these I still read or want to reread; it could be because of nostalgia or maybe I was never destined to be a mature adult lol. Either way, I feel like this is a way to share a part of ...
It's funny how childhood reading habits stick with us even when the exact details become a bit fuzzy over time. Whether it was the suspense of the murder mystery or a fascination with quirky oddities.

I think I read this when I was 11. I just recently moved at that time and borrowed this from the library, and I quite enjoyed the plot but not so much the narrator. It was 1st person and the kid was 15, he had some sensory issues and apprently was a ...
The Curious Incident Of The Dog in the Night-Time
Just a disclaimer, I don't support Rowling or her thoughts, as much as I enjoy the books and the films, but I don't buy any merchandise or any official Harry Potter merchandise.
That being said, HPATGF is probably my favorite book from the series, in general I do enjoy games that have a challenge plot line in them if you get what I mean. I found it quiet fascinating the way other Wizarding School funcioned but I do wish ther...

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
I honestly can't believe I didn't realize how I completely missed some of the themes. I got this as a gift from an uncle, and I read and reread it a bunch of times as a kid, and while that was understandable, I wouldn't understand certain themes. Eve...
Stephen King- IT
I used to read this the Shruken Head every week haha. I don't remember what I liked about it so much, maybe it was a urder-mystery, maybe I liked the oddities. I don't know
Curiousity House:The Shrunken Head
Alex Rider has always stuck with me. I collected the books over the years; in fact, I'm just missing “Nightsade Revenge.”
I like all the books; the one I liked the most was Russian Roulette, which is a prequel to all the books, which is about the life story of how an assassin (one of the reoccurring characters) turned into an assassin. I enjoyed and still enjoy prequels...

Alex Rider: Russian Roulette
Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a classic; everyone knows about them. Everybody knows how it goes, so I'm going to save my breath here. I actually introduced my brother to reading by the Wimpy Kids books. I think we're pretty much up to date on them.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
Roald Dahl was a prominent figure in my life, I was always reading him or watchingg an adaptation of his books. I enjoyed reading his autobiographies, he has 2 as far as I know, and tGoing Solo is probably my favorite. I can't remember much, but I th...
Roald Dahl- Going Solo
I think Robinson Crusoe was my first ever classic. I can't really say much here, other than that the worldbuilding was so much funand also how he manged to build a civilization. I remember having a pirates phase, and always daydreamed or wrote little quips of us meeting and surviving, have have adventures together.
Robinson Crusoe
I can't remmeber much about this book. Other then liking obviously. To be honest, I thinkk my mother may not have wanted me to read it (but I read anyway, duh), and it could've been the first time I learned what swearing was.
Patrick Ness: The Ask and the Answer
The Boy in the Dress was such a surreal experience for me as a kid because it almost made me feel validated in the most absurd way.
As a kid, I really hated anything to do with anything feminine; I just saw it as inferior to me or weak because of how it was pushed on to me. Every other day I was criticized (heck, I still am) for dressing “masculinely” or not being feminine enough...
The book taught me that clothes didn't really define anyone, and even gave me some security being my gender. I won't say that I've complety overcame all these (really minimal) obsticles, but they did help.

David Williams: The Boy in the Dress
I may have mentioned it earlier, but I really enjoyed books that have world-building and challenges. I think the Hunger Games might have been the hardest one to understand out of all of these. I can't remember why; maybe it was because I should've be...
The Hunger Games
As a kid, and even now, I really enjoyed “creepy” stories, some of which included the Grimm tales. Now I know that not every story exactly fills that category, especially stories like “The Juniper Tree” and “The Youth Who Could Not Shudder and Shake”...
Grimms Fairy Tales
This was probably one of the silliest Roald Dahl I've ever read. Also, the absurdity of how Mr. and Mrs. just torture each other and how they get their karma is just so ridiculously entertaining
