not only did this series get me into reading, it also made a huge history nerd out of me. perfect combo of magic, arthurian legend, adventure and historical fiction, with true facts and events woven in

Yes to magic tree house!!! I wanted that trunk of clothes so bad. I was one that read the American girl books but never had a doll, and no I won't carry that bitterness to my grave. Felicity is my problematic fav. Tintin also falls in that category. Guess I loved adventure stories!
As an older child, it was Ella enchanted, holes, chasing Redbird, and Harry Potter (rip)

I remember Where the Wild Things Are and other art books the most. Reading The Hobbit when I did (9 or 10?) was pretty important to me. A good mix of adventure. I learned to use a dictionary really well because I had never seen many of the words in the book. Growing up in rural eastern Kentucky coal fields I didn't get a lot of help from the adults around me in that regard. I also still remember the feeling of tension and fear in the scenes with the ogres and Gollum having some comedic elements here and there to make being a little afraid fun.
Then I probably got into fantasy novels well above my age shortly after. lol Piers Anthony made several of his books anatomy lessons.

being in a new hyperfixation phase is so fun and exciting. it's also painful because the interest is so intense that i almost don't know what to do with it, and a part of me dreads the moment the obsession will inevitably start to fade...

looks like just another aesthetic sky until you look to the bottom and it's Eleni and Peggy trying to get rid of the red suitcase in matching "discreet" outfits (iykyk)
