March 14: Children’s Books to Read as an Adult
–This one was suggested by another group member! What children’s books do you think deserve revisiting as we get older?
These are going to be less children’s books EVERYONE should revisit, but books from MY childhood that I want to revisit.
Younger Childhood:
My sisters read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys when they were young, but I read ‘The Three Investigators’, and ‘Encyclopaedia Brown’. I don’t really care to go back and re-read them, but one young persons book I recently re-read was Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Treasure Island’. It holds up really well!
Happy Reading!

Interesting. I LOVED Nancy Drew as a kid.

I LOVE Ramona! I want to read the Series of Unfortunate Events (as a teen I got bored of reading something so easy around book 4), but I can’t seem to commit myself to so many books. It’s a long series. I’m in love with the Netflix series though.

Don’t think of series of unfortunate events as a long series – it’s 13 books, but they’re so short, that page count wise it’s really like a YA trilogy.

Maybe page count-wise, but it’s a lot of books to buy/keep on my shelf and/or check out from the library. lol

MAXIMUM RIDE!!! 😍😍😍 I still read these books. However reading them as an adult is just really eye opening about how poorly written they are 😭
