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

the BFG. Really anything by Roald Dahl could go on this list, but the BFG was the first one i read and i was in love. I believe it was after reading that that i started making up stories.

My first book that I fell in love with was Harry Potter, I did read before then... but my fondest memory comes with Harry Potter. After that, you have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which is the book for this year.

Eragon. I think I was in the second grade when it was published. I was a really good reader at that time and I asked a woman in a bookstore if there were any good books. She tried showing me to the children's section and I put an end to that very quickly and asked her if she had any books with dragons in them. She told me that Eragon was really good and I promptly demanded that my parents buy it. I read it in about five hours and have been a crazed fan ever since. I still actually have the copy, and I've thumbed through it so many times that the spine's fallen off. I actually have my heart set on a first printing copy in a bookstore in town. :D

first book, probably "captain underpants" when i was 8. embarrasing name, i know, but i really liked it.

 

although i've obsessed much more over other books since then, when i started reading the daniel x books, i broke my record for not using anything electronic. about 19 hours, 56 if lights and stuff that helped me with my reading don't count.

I believe it was Eggs by Jerry Spinelli when I was eight or so. I love that book so much to this day!

Harry Potter. The first time I read it (starting with The Goblet of Fire XD ) I was 9/10 years old, and for a couple of years I refused to read anything else. I think I read the first four not less than 10 times each.

The Crimes and Punishments of Miss Payne. it was before freshman year and really opened my eyes to a whole array of young adult literature. I fall in love over and over again with the characters in this novel.

[Samantha Van Allen]

The first book I got obsessed with was The Red Wall by Brian Jacques. At the time I was in the third grade and adored talking animals fighting for their kingdom, so that was the first book and series I fell in love, but I fell out of it in the sixth grade.

[Ily]

I love that series! It was my second obsession, right after Harry Potter!

[Nia Bia]

The Cirque Du Freak series, I was probably 11 or 12 when I read those, and I read those super fast!

[Elizabeth Rapalo]

The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo.

I read it in 5th grade I think and I've read it 5-7x since then. I feel like it had so much meaning in it without really trying. I think thats how books are supposed to feel sometimes though.

First book I ever fell in love with? Hmmm... I think Mr. Popper's Penguins. I read it in the 4th grade and thought it was the best piece of literature on the planet. I've read many other books since then but Mr. Popper's Penguins is still up there on my favorites list. Love it! <3 DFTBA
