Honestly I can’t remember. I’ve been reading books since 2nd grade and there’s been numerous I loved
Not even one above all? Or the last one you read 😀
“Nor Crystal Tears”: by Alan Dean Foster
One of the first novel length books I ever sat down to read when I was young.
The first series that I fell in love with was: “The Belgariad” by David Eddings
Say what you want about Eddings, the guy was not a nice guy, but “The Belgariad” was a great series and I leaped from it to LOTR.
Jurassic Park
The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Edit: by Douglas Adams (yeah, like that addition was needed)
I felt personally offended when my teenage son was like yeah it’s OK.
So that’s why you gave him up for adoption ;)
Something by Brian Jacques when I was ten. Probably Long Patrol or Mossflower. turned me from a book hater into a book fiend. Like, literally pissed off my parents because I would read at night instead of sleeping.
A Wrinkle in Time.
One of the first big kids’ books I read on my own. I should re-read the series as an adult since I might have been almost too young for it the first time.
Picking just one book is really unfair as I fell in love with various books at different times of my life.
But to answer your question, the very first book I remember falling in love with as a little kid is… two books. Jules Verne ‘Michel Strogoff’, and Conan Doyle’s ‘The Lost World’ which I read in French back then as ‘Le monde perdu’.
But I insist, this is absolutely unfair to the many other books I’ve loved and still love to this very day :p
Everyone has always one favourite… always :)
Theres A Monster At the End of This Book
The cat was a bit of an asshole, but figured out how to fit in.
I really like the cover :) So so so cute :)
Pickles, aka the fire cat, is born homelss and lives in a barrel before being adopted by a nice lady and then eventually joining the fire department and improving himself to become a better cat.
Here is Pickles being an asshole by chasing a kitten up a tree, because that is something cats do.
If I remember right Pickles wasn’t able to get down either and had to be rescued by the firemen. It leads to his journey to learn how to be nicer to other cats and improve himself.
😀
The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. There were other books I really liked prior to that, but I distinctly remember reading that one on a long road trip I was stuck on with my parents, and being just completely enthralled by it. Made a 14 hour car ride feel like nothing.
The series ultimately led to discovering Brandon Sanderson as an author (when he took over for the last 3 books in the series), which led to a lot more really memorable, beloved reads, so that’s a nice added bonus.
I really enjoyed Eye of the World, and I faithfully read the next seven or eight books when they came out.
But I tried to read it again a few years ago and it didn’t keep my interest.
The climax of the eye of the world was incredible, I’ve never continued on in the series, is it worth it?
The Hobbit.
First “real” book I read at like 10 or 11 and I just went straight the the whole series after.
