Favorite book(s) as a kid?

Just wondering what books were your favorite growing up?

I loved the Nancy Drew books and the Warrior Cats books.

In fact I still LOVE the Warrior books. I read them often.

I liked Harry Potter growing up. I read that for fun since elementary school. I don’t think I’ve read the latest one. It’s pretty easy to read. I tried reading LOTR in middle school and couldn’t understand it. I had a high school reading level in middle school. I had the audiobook for LOTR and played the video games and watched all the movies. I did enjoy the Hobbit and I might have read the Silmarillion.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed fantasy books but since growing up, I prefer non fiction and science.

I used to visualize things and had a great imagination for books. I liked reading. I still do.

I lost some abilities like reading speed and comprehension now.
