The only books I liked were The Babysitters Club-- and I'd always skip the first chapter because it just explained how the club started/worked. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-28098 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 15:22:56 +0000 plantains 28098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved all the ones that you mentioned although Anne of Green Gables was my absolute favourite.

My favorite "chapter books" were The Boxcar Children, A Wrinkle In Time, Amelia Bedelia, The Horseriding Club or whatever the spinoff of The Babysitters Club was called, and this Christian book series about a girl named Mandie: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mandie-Secret-Tunnel-Book/dp/0871233207" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Mandie-Secret-Tunnel-Book/dp/0871233207</a>.</p> <p>@sweetchic: I absolutely loved Lurlene McDaniel too! I remember after reading "Don't Die My Love" I just laid on the floor and cried and cried! I loved the tragedy and the in-depth descriptions of their makeup (I loved makeup, haha).</p> <p>Another book my mom had that I really love is called I Love You Forever: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-You-Forever-Robert-Munsch/dp/0920668372/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1323097254&#038;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Love-You-Forever-Robert-Munsch/dp/0920668372/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1323097254&#038;sr=1-1</a> Every mommy should have it!

My favourite Roald Dahl book was "James and the Giant Peach." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27711 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:11:52 +0000 808love 27711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved Sweet Valley, Judy Blume's books, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory too. I never really liked Where the Red Fern Grows as a kid but I read it every year as a teacher in the classroom and my whole class and I enjoy it every year!<br /> I just ordered Christina Katerina and the Box for nostalgia's sake. It had a creative female main character. My mom said I loved reading a HOW TO do everything book when I was very young.. I remember learning how to tell my left hand from my right hand from that book (make an L for left). Oh and I was totally into Archie Comic Books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27708 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:38:04 +0000 Boogs 27708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read most of the ones you mentioned. As a younger kid I loved The Bernstein Bears. I also liked The Boxcar Children, Goosebumps, The Giver, A Child Called It &amp; the other books by that author. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27705 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:26:48 +0000 mrbee 27705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tksjewelry: I just reread them too!

Think that I will pull it out and reread them this winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27703 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:15:25 +0000 mrbee 27703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tksjewelry: I loved the Tripod series!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27702 Mon, 05 Dec 2011 00:09:33 +0000 Mrs. Armbender 27702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Tripods series was great also A Wrinkle in TIme. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27700 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:58:13 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 27700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, every single book you mentioned. I re-read Anne of Green Gables a million zillion times. I also read a lot of the Diary-esque books (there was a series name but I forget). I read a lot of books beyond my age. I think I read Gone With The Wind in 5th grade?</p> <p>In my younger days I *obviously* read the Amelia Bedelia books because I was a narcissistic child. ;-) Jk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27680 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 23:02:04 +0000 Meridian 27680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Bee OMG, I read practically all the same series!! I was a total bookworm.</p> <p>I also loved these books by this author named Lurlene McDaniels who wrote all these young adult novels about people with terminal illnesses. Wow, that doesn't sound very good... but they were total tearjerkers, and I LOVED a good tearjerker! I also loved books by Diana Wynne Jones, who wrote fantasy books, kind of the in the vein of Harry Potter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-favorite-books-growing-up#post-27661 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 22:43:25 +0000 Rosie Girl 27661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read so many books, I couldn't even start to name them all! Some were: Goosebumps, The Pony Club, Box Car Kids, Shiloh, and there was an author, whose name I cannot think of for the life of me right now, but I read every book she wrote.... Dang! When I think of her name I will let you know :) </p>
