I remember that book!! ...INSIDE THE WALLS OF TROY!! I remember that book!! One series like this for me is the Magic Anywhere Ring, which I was obsessed with. I think I have quite a few childhood favorites at my parents' house still but I'd have to look. Then there are some books I didn't remember until I saw someone else mention them or the cover and it's like a lightbulb goes off in my head. I have a similar problem actually with this game (for lack of a better word) that I had as a kid- it was disney and you played an audiobook and moved the pieces around which projected on the wall. I can see it SO CLEARLY in my head but I've never found the name of it or a picture of it online and it is my white whale in every sense. Drives me nuts. I hope you've been able to find a bunch of your favorites!Morgan @ The Bookish Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455877395068242798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-28605487728642345002017-04-29T11:37:50.365-07:002017-04-29T11:37:50.365-07:00The Awakening Evil!

Goosebumps was so big for so many of my friends -- I just got so scared! I read one Fear Street book about a girl that was haunted and like drowned herself to kill the spirit? It messed me UP.<br /><br /><br />.... and now I need to know the title.

I even got the special Andalite Chronicles books for the Animorphs I was so into it. Wow, I haven't thought about that one in years!!<br />Ha, I had a massive Mary Higgins Clark phase in high school so I am not judging! ;) It's interesting to see how our reading taste evolve, I think. Even if younger-me was super weird sometimes in her choice of reading material XDJessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996840003306047763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-51796592728431271792017-04-20T09:10:11.210-07:002017-04-20T09:10:11.210-07:00I love thinking about all the books I read when I ...I love thinking about all the books I read when I was a kid but my memory is extremely hazy with the majority of them. Your mention of your first historical fiction book made me remember this WWII book I read and loved (Moon Bridge by Marcia Savin) and was thinking about how that's likely the reason why I still love stories of that ilk to this day. I was also a HUGE Goosebumps fan (and Fear Street) and they are absolutely why I still love horror novels to this day. So fun to take those walks down memory lane. :)Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06465888688348402491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-21788705629374317972017-04-17T18:27:35.183-07:002017-04-17T18:27:35.183-07:00I was really big into series when I was younger - ...I was really big into series when I was younger - so I read all of the Animorphs, Babysitter's Club, Goosebumps and Boxcar Children books I could get my hands on. As I got older, I started borrowing my mom's books and found that I really enjoyed John Saul. So most of what makes me stop to think are ones I read by him...psychological thrillers with a semi-paranormal twist?

I can't say I know those titles but I def know the feeling of regretting losing a childhood fave :( Hopefully you find them someday :)Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996840003306047763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950979514940131182.post-86752301075236794742017-04-14T08:54:56.715-07:002017-04-14T08:54:56.715-07:00I woke up from a dead sleep one night like, "...I woke up from a dead sleep one night like, "What was that weirdly religious book about the massive family of kids who ruin Christmas?" (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, btw.) Like, why brain? I started a GR list when we talked about this on Twitter last month: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4234605?shelf=childhood-faves I can't believe we both read The Great Mom Swap. I still feel like that is so random. <br /><br />One I'd like to read again that I rediscovered while making my list is Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix, though since the only thing I remember is the MASSIVE twist, it would probably suck. I did buy and reread The Betrayal and it's cracky goodness and I should get the sequels. Witches cursing each other for 200 years, resulting in a Romeo-and-Juliet-plus-ghosts thing? Bring. It.

I alway...Oh my god this happens to me all the time! I always vaguely remember a book from childhood and become determined to read it again and/or add it to my shelves. I started rereading some Joan Bauer books because of this feeling haha. I used to love Amelia's Notebooks and the Amazing Days of Abbie Hayes when I was younger.. I wish I still had some of them around! Gooooood times.Lauren @ Bookmark Lithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123780370000244302noreply@blogger.com
