5 books/series I remember obsessively reading before I turned 12:
1) Malory Towers by Enid Blyton- YES! I was OBSESSED about this series, about Darrel, Felicity and all their lovely friends. I have read each and every single book from this series and I still possess the whole set. I even tried to write a similar series of my own inspired by Malory Towers.
2) St. Claire's by Enid Blyton- This too was quite similar to the Malory Towers series and reading them together would inevitably get you confused. I LOVED the O Sullivan twins, Pat and Isabel, the midnight feasts, the lacrosse matches, Miss Potts. OMG! I can't stop gushing.
3) PINK PAGES- OH MY GOD! I read Pink Pages for the very first time when I was probably 8 or something, and I was absolutely thrilled. This is not a novel. It's more like a teenage self help book with so many cool activities and games. I feel so nostalgic whenever I think of those days!
4) Glitter Girls- A series again, about a super cool girl gang who had so much fun together doing different things, participating in various competitions, going to the same school. They had these cool team T-Shirts and accessories, secret hide-outs. I absolutely LOVED the idea of a girl gang when I was a kid. Was never lucky enough to actualize it though.
5) FAMOUS FIVE, Secret Seven, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Little Women, Heidi, Oliver Twist, Alice in Wonderland, Adventure Series, I couldn't decide which one to pick so I listed all I can remember :'3 I was an avid reader when I was a child. It's sad that I don't read half as much nowadays.
Which books/series do you remember reading when you were a kid?
I remember reading the Jerry maya detective series and I was mad about it...our whole class was, actually.
