books you discovered on your OWN when you were a little kid that turned out to be amazing. books you received as gifts don't count.

one day i was looking for a book to do a book report on (anyone remember pizzahut's bookit program? do they still do that?) and i found this bookcover with a mouse carrying a sword.

redwall started me down a furry path of literary wonderment has lasted into my late 20's. i still read books from the series to this day.

A series of unfortunate events probably turned me into the literature-obsessed, vacuous shell of a person i am today

Love that shit

I`ve read the first two books of the Golden Compass back when I was In third grade for the hell of It. I never got my hands on the third book after that.

Scar Night by Alan Campbell

Loved every moment of it, even the holes and slow times it was just awesome

>> No.962247

Same series as OP. I wanted some book(can't remember) in the Scholastic book orders that you would get in elementary school. The book I wanted came with another book for free, The Long Patrol. It took me about a year to start reading it but once I did, I was reading the Redwall series for the next two years

I bought Deathbird Stories because I liked the cover.
