All the Famous Five books, all the Secret 7 and although I don't remember being a huge Roald Dahl fan, I do remember doing "Danny the Champion of the World" at school and absolutely loving every word of it

The one that sticks out for me, which i cant remember the title was about a chicken that ran about telling all his friends that the sky was gona fall down.
Im stumped about the title though. Think it was one of those ladybird books.

rhino, Little Women was one of favorite as well.

All in all I always loved four books I was little older.

1. Anne of Green Gable
2. Daddy Longleggs
3. Littel Women
4. Jane Ayre

Then I realised one day this books's heroin had one thing in common.

I vaguely remember Anne of Green Gables from TV but I cant remember much what it was about - I never read it. What did they have in common?

I wondered where was my post disappeared before I tried to read it again.
It has already been posted.

Except Little Women, all other three girls were orphans.

Oh I loved that book - cried my eyes out when Beth died! Loved the sequels as well, Good Wives and Jo's Boys.

Other faves were The Hobbit which I read when I was about 10, all the Just William books by Richmal Crompton, all the Billy Bunter books by Frank Richard, and all the Malory Towers books by Enid Blyton. Also loved The Chronicles of Narnia and later on Lord of the Rings. I spent a lot of time at the library, mostly to escape by three younger brothers. We weren't very well off, so we didn't have a tv, therefore books were very important to me.

This thread brought back some lovely memories for me. Anne of Green Gables, The Magic Faraway Tree and Little Women were all favourites of mine. I also loved The Weirdstone of Brisingamon. My absolute favourites were the Chronicles of Narnia, especially The Horse and His Boy and of course, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I was a bit obsessed, and every time I went somewhere new I would check the back of the wardrobe... just in case.

Livia lol at the wardrobe but how true that books absorb you like that. I recently read a book called Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones, which takes that to an extreme. It is a short read but very powerful, if you get the chance to read it I think you would enjoy it

I remember the Chip, Biff, Kipper books that you had to progress up reading-boxes with.
& then other standards: Roald Dahl, Harry Potter, Goosebumps, Horrible Histories...
