I grew up on Goosebumps, Animorphs, Roald Dahl's books.... then Harry Potter, Dragonlance novels etc.

 

I started reading pretty early so I was reading Robert Ludlum by grade 5 and Mario Puzo's books by grade 6

Parang naalala ko yung SRA ah. Were those the ones that had short stories in colorful pamphlets, then you had to take a multiple choice quiz afterwards?

Choose Your Own Adventure

Nancy Drew

[ForeverSummer]

I remember reading Enid Blyton's hardbound, gargantuan books such as The Magic Faraway Tree and Adventures of the Wishing-Chair. Of course, I had my Sweet Valley/Love Stories/Fear Street/Christopher Pike phase as well. I'm rather normal, you know? In 5th grade, my dad introduced to me Tales of the Unexpected by Roald Dahl while my uncle supplied me with Robert Ludlum novels. At that point, I turned my back on YA and never looked back.
