FF Friday: In Which I Read All By Myself


Feature & Follow is a weekly blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.


This week’s question: What is the first book you remember reading?

Answer: I hated reading when I was a kid and did everything in my power to avoid it. One of the first books that I remember reading on my own and actually enjoying was The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner.


The Boxcar Children - Gertrude Chandler Warner
The Alden children begin their adventure by making a home in a boxcar. Their goal is to stay together, and in the process they find a grandfather. (Dang it, Goodreads, that is a terrible summary, and I don’t have time to write my own. The book is better than that. I promise.)

I remember being so excited when I found out that there were sequels to this book. Unfortunately, I hated all the sequels. Even as a nine-year-old, I was a passionate book snob.

  4. I think I read one of the books from the series, but then never continued it. I did that all the time when I was younger, and now I can't stand not finishing a series! Old follower!

  5. I never read The Boxcar Children. I don't think my school library had them, but I read the heck out of The Berenstain Bears.

  8. I never read that series... I remember being a little book snob too. I loved Little Women by L. M. Alcott when I was a kid and when I found out there was a sequel I was really excited about it but then hated it.
    Thanks for stopping by! I'm following via Bloglovin :)
