A series of unfortunate events (the book series)

first read these when i was in elementary school. i’m on the last book now of my early-20s reread. the writing is clever and emotional. i’m just shocked by how much depth and language play is contained in these—things i surely missed in my first read. i recommend reading or rereading these at any age!

I’VE BEEN A VORACIOUS READER EVER SINCE I LEARNED HOW TO READ…

so i can’t tell you exactly what kicked that off for me. i will say, what exacerbated it was seeing a girl in my second grade gifted and talented class reading harry potter and the goblet of fire and i was jealous bc the book was thick as hell and we were only 7!! so i started the series out of spite so i could get to the fifth book before she did. because i read so many books as a child, i would say they’re All formative to me in some way. but when i saw this ask, the first book i thought of was “the miraculous journey of edward tulane”… this may sound sad but it was the first book i remember ever making me cry. i didn’t know you could be connected to a book like that until then, so i think of it warmly and fondly. it’s like wow there really are new worlds and beating hearts between pages… (i also remember reading another book that made me cry when i was slightly older. it was about a girl without a shadow who had some sort of cat familiar that followed her around. i remember fighting tears so hard but also can’t remember the title for the life of me.) (a series of unfortunate events had me hooked too. i think i was into some pretty somber stuff loool).

LAND OF STORIES

it was so whimsical! the characters were 4 years older than me so naturally i thought they were cool (they were). i remember reading the last book at my grandma’s porch during the summer and crying over them meeting their father who passed away. i don’t think there could have been a series that made me feel so connected and in a trance. i think my parents kept getting mad at me cuz I would always finish the book too fast hehe

rereading your favorite fantasy series from middle school

there is nothing like revisiting the person you used to be and the tastes you used to have! oh to see the world again with the wonder of a 14 year old with a library card.
