Sweet Valley - when they were in middle school. That book made me want to have a twin! :D

Have anyone of you read this story about a girl that has a memory like a camera. I forgot how it is called.

And Matilda! I liked that story!

My top 3, that I read over and over and over:
1) Matilda by Roald Dahl
2) The Witches by Roald Dahl
3) The Fairy Rebel by Lynne Reid Banks

I read almost all of Roald Dahl's books at least twice though. I also loved Grimm's fairy tales and Nancy Drew books, and yes, sadly, I too read the babysitters club books. I only owned about 2 of them though.

I read the first two Boxcar Children books when I was 8 or 9. I liked the first two, but all the ones after that? I thought that they were stupid. I jsut found it so unbelievable that all these mysteries would keep happening to the same kids. heh:D

Oooh! Bridge to Terabithia was also one of my favorites! That and the Little House in the Big Woods books. I read all of those numerous times. aaaah, I need to buy those...

I was never allowed to read the Sweet Valley books. lol But I think I remember reading a book about a girl who has a memory like a camera...well my little sister read it and so I did too. Is it the one where the little girl like, says "click" every time she uses her memory?

Charlotte's Web was a great one too.

Hmm, lets see.

*The Polar Express
*Matilda
*The Cabbage Patch Kid - written by Paul ???? - I think the writer may have been the man who brought about the series Round The Twist.

The Mind Reader by R.L. Stine. I really liked the Fear Street and Goosebump series. I also read some Baby Sitters Club and Boxcar Chidren boks. My grandpa used to read me books and I liked the ones he read from the Golden Series or something. I can't remember the specific name but the binding of all the books was in gold and there was this little puppy I remember.
