I can totally relate; it's ...Holy top-hat, yes! I can totally relate; it's crazy how you can look back at books that were so prominent in your childhood and see how they've shaped you. Some of my best memories from being a little kid are of my big brother reading the first Harry Potter book to me every night before bed, and the Narnia series... Aww, nostalgia. I totally blame him for starting me down this path of insane fantasy nerd-dom. :P <br /><br />And oh my god, Tamora Pierce! I loved those so much as well! (And still do, heh...) Up until rather recently my life goal was to become a Lady Knight, after reading the Lioness books. (Actually... I think it still might be. o.o Only now I've added Doctor's Companion and Ranger to that list.) I remember picking up that first book for the first time so clearly... And I am eternally grateful to little 10-year-old me for doing so, heh. :P<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, hi! :D I think this is my first time actually commenting on your awesome blog after lurking around in the shadows for quite a while, hehe. So, nice to meet you, and lovely place you've got here. ^^SpaceDragonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497602443793026454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870132574111218334.post-11434481762197555752012-04-21T11:03:09.464-07:002012-04-21T11:03:09.464-07:00I did it with Harry Potter, certainly. :) Another ...I did it with Harry Potter, certainly. :) Another book I pretended I was a character from was <i>Crane</i> by Jeff Stone; it's part of The Five Ancestors series, but that's my favorite out of the seven.

I sta...Ah, the memories... :) I can totally relate. I started reading the Harry Potter series in first grade, and it got to the point where I could quote most of each book. I remember running around in "wizard robes" with a wand that I made out of a branch a lot. <br />I read Anne of Green Gables when I was pretty young, too. I read that a lot. I also remember liking Beverly Cleary's books, although that was a long time ago. <br />Most of my childhood was taken up by books and playing imaginary games.nope https://www.blogger.com/profile/03960823554678093245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870132574111218334.post-3876078291388279812012-04-19T19:45:28.611-07:002012-04-19T19:45:28.611-07:00Oh my! I like posts that talk about books so much!...Oh my! I like posts that talk about books so much! And can I ever relate to you!!! Books shaped so much of my life too. One of my all time favorite books was Treasures of the Snow, by Patricia St. John. It was about a girl in the Swiss Alps named Annette. I think when I read that, it was the first time I was glad I had blonde hair. (I had always wanted to be a native American, so therefore I needed black hair and dark eyes instead of blonde hair and blue eyes…) I’ve read that book over and over again, and still read it. So, so much more too! But, as this is just a comment, I’ll leave it at that. Thanks so much for this post, truly, it’s the kind that makes me happy and takes me down memory lane. <br />~Aidyl<br />www.aidylewoh.blogspot.comAidyl Ewohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193031689876630475noreply@blogger.com
