First book you got obsessed about?

[Chiburger]

Yes, the title pretty much speaks for itself but,

Being the Nerds we are, I believe we have all been obsessed with an amount of books, Harry potter, Twilight, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the list could go on for AGES.

My question is obviously 'Which book was the first book you fell completely in love with?'

My first bookcrush was Stravaganza (the whole serie) by Mary Hoffman.
It's about normal people that travel through time and space at night when they go to sleep to... Kind'f an another dimensions Italy centuries ago, called Talia ^^)

I think I read it first at the age of.. 11, 12 maybe?

Now I wanna hear yours! Go ahead! ^^D

Oh, man. I think I read this too! I don't remember anything about it either... but it was really good!

First books I was obsessed with were the Babysitter's Club books when I was five. I still read them on a regular basis.

[Marissa Danielle]

Same here! I actually came on this thread to write that, haha. I was completely convinced that as soon as I turned 13 I was going to start my own business just like them and become rich off it....  didn't exactly work out for me. (:

[Lisa Ann]

Yep! I went through a training course, made flyers, and everything, and then realized that all the kids in my neighbourhood were older than me. I only ever babysat four or five times, not exactly anything like the illustrious career I had planned out.

I would say my book would be American Prometheus. I haven't finished reading it so that I can spread it out over a long duration of time.

The first was Z is for Zombie. It's a little kid book, I read it in first grade, about 80 times. I absolutes loved it. That obsession turned into a Twilight Saga obsession. Then a John Green obsession (which will never die) and that took me to my Potter obsession (still going on) and then my HG addiction (Still happening) So, there have been a lot. My current obsession is VARIANT by Robison Wells. I will die if I don't get FEEDBACK as soon as it comes out.

I LOVE the Stravaganza books!! They're so clever and interesting, and the development we've seen... Great stuff!

The first book I was truly, totally, and completely obsessed with, not counting when I was like 4, was the Lord of the Rings. I read them because the movies were about to start coming out, and I wanted to have read them first. I struggled through Fellowship, but by the time I finished book 3 in Two Towers, I was sold. 

I've been obsessed utterly ever since.

I think for me it was Magyk, it was this wizard book that I read when I was about ten. That book was awesome.

[Crae]

Mine was the whole Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I got pretty obsessed with it especially since I had three close girl friends too and we kind of resembled the personalities of the 4 main characters in the book!=)

Gregor the Overlander. I read the books over and over and over again, it all started in fourth grade and then the seed was planted. Suzanne Collins was my favorite author long before The Hunger Games.
Wait, is it possible to be a literature hipster?

[Anna Rieman]

Since I first set eyes on one, I have been obsessed with horses, so my first book obsession? The Saddle Club series by Bonnie Bryant. 

I'm so hardcore ;)

[Megan Scott]

Mine had to be the Outsiders b S.E. Hinton. I read it in fith grade and it was the first book to give me the "this book will stick with me forever" feeling.
