i don’t remember that much by name, i did read the hardy boys and nancy drew. and alot of smut, well, it considered smut back then, probably extremely tame now.
Trixie Belden! I read all of them and still have the books in a box somewhere.
I read very little as a child.
I grew up in Southern Californis..beaches, surfing. Not much interest in books.
The only book that I can actually clearly remember was “Hiawatha”.
“By the shores of Gitcheegoomee…..
Stood the wigwam of Nikomus.
Daughter of the Moon, Nikomus….”
To this day, I cannot imagine why my grandmother got me Hiawatha but is was so weird that I still remember the pictures in the book.
I loved reading pretty much anything, but I really enjoyed the Dark is Rising series. I just read them again earlier this year – I think it’s my third or fourth re-read.
Stephen King and Dean Koontz… apparently young me had a dark side!
Stephen King, Madeline L’Engle, Kurt Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury and Piers Anthony (Only the Incarnations of Immortality, The Xanth novels are soooo sexist)
Steven King, Danielle Steele, Judy Blume, The Boxcar Children series, The Bernstein Bears, Garfield, Richard Scary and more.
When I was really young I read all the Dr. Suess books. Are You My Mother was my favorite one and I have a new one I got as a present a few years ago that came with the stuffed dog that’s on the book. As a teenager I read VC Andrews and Harlequin Romance.
Oh wow…the young me read The Wrinkle in Time series many many times, along with Goosebumps, and The Babysitters Club, and Fox Trot
I loved dragon books, and still do actually…
But my all-time favorite kids book would be The Pokey Little Puppy, followed closely by The Adventures of Goat.
Any book about animals, especially horses and dogs (Walter Farley, Dorothy Lyons, Albert Peyson Terhune, etc.)
Also devoured all the Nancy Drew and Sue Barton books.
Stephen King.
