Favorite Childhood Book Series?

[Kevinnn]

The most I've read when I was a kid was goosebumps. I didnt find it completely scary. it was more so an introduction to reading versus actual enjoyment, which I found later on

I liked a couple of books from the Bunnicula series. A vampire rabbit that sucks the juice out of vegetables. Now it's a wacky cartoon. It was more of a kid's suspense, mystery. The ones I read anyway.

I'm showing my age, but I totally loved that series too.

I also loved Encyclopedia Brown.

I love Animorphs, Dear America, The Royal Diaries, Thoroughbred, California Diaries, Harry Potter (I stopped at book 5; later finished the rest). There were other books I enjoyed too since I loved to read. I’ll look them up later and post again.

As a kid, I liked Brown Bear Brown Bear, My father’s dragon trilogy, Rainbow Fish, and some others (I’ll add on when I think of them).

I loved books that were written like diaries & journals and historical fiction until I got more invested in history since then historical accuracy and stuff began to bother me.

Loved A Series of Unfortunate Events, Magic Tree House, Geronimo Stilton, Goosebumps, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Thinking about them makes me nostalgic for Scholastic Book Fairs and going straight to the back of Barnes and Noble stores where are all the children's books were and looking for hours after school

Geronimo Stilton, I Spy, and the Choose Your Own Adventure books are my favorite childhood book series. I also like the old fairy tale books that featured the original versions of fairy tales. (The choose your own adventure books are older than me lol)

The Choose Your Own Adventure books are extremely innovative for the writing medium in general and way ahead of its time, and this book is basically the book version of text-based adventure games and visual novels.

I read a lot of goosebumps and baby sitters club books when I was young and when I was little older I liked reading the Harry Potter books.

Also obligatory Harry Potter, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Percy Jackson.

I read a lot as a kid so I was into a ton of series.

I am an AVID reader!!!

As a small child I luved Dr. Seuss, especially fox and socks, go dog go, and the grinch and little golden books. My fav book as a child was monster at the end of this book starring Grover from Sesame Street. I still own a ton of my little golden books and dr Seuss books. As a young child, I LUVED the Serendipity books by Stephen Cosgrove and they were beautifully illustrated by Robin James.

I was obsessed with Mz James’s illustration style. She is the reason I started drawing.

When I got a little older, I owned over 150 babysitters club books. My dad introduced me to S.E. Hinton after watching The Outsiders and I read all of those as well. Because I was such an avid reader, my reading tastes were quite a bit more advanced the older I got and by the time I started to hit adolescence, (at age 10-12) i was reading Stephen king and VC Andrew’s and out of the young reader books mostly.

Even though I wasn’t a child when the Harry Potter series and hunger games series came out, I would def put them WAY up there in greatest young reader book series’s!

I liked the Cat Club series(13 books written between 1944 and 1972) by Esther Averill.These books were about the adventures of a group of cats led by a black cat named Jenny Linsky.I also liked the Henry Huggins and The Mouse and the Motorcycle series by Beverly Cleary.

 

[Crash]

goosebumps, harry potter, the hunger games, percy jackson and a series of unfortunate events were probably the most important books to me as a kid. i fully credit goosebumps (and luigi's mansion lol) for jumpstarting my love of horror at the ripe old age of six :')
scary stories to tell in the dark is also an iconic childhood fav, but i have a complicated relationship with it because one story messed me up soooo bad lmao

 

[pottercrossing]

Magic Treehouse and The Babysitter's Club were my favourite series as a kid, and then I eventually moved on to Harry Potter during the pandemic. I also really liked Geronimo Stilton, Upside-Down Magic, Captain Underpants, and Dog Man. Most of those have since been passed down to my younger brother. I still have my Kindle from like 2018 that's mostly just Babysitter's Club books.

[Ghost Of Mascevanje]

That would have to be the "most challenged book series of the 1990s"...

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark​
