So what books triggered your love for reading??

For me it would have to be Enid Blyton & L.M Montgomery...when I was younger I actually hated reading (I no what a crime?!) but I had dyspraxia which causes learning difficulties and issues with fine motor skills...so reading just took too long to read! But once I picked up these authors I found the enjoyment in reading and it didn't bother me how long it took to read... :)

Anne of Green Gables, and the Hunger Games series

I looovee the Anne of green gable series!!! Have you read all of them???

Hahaha wow u must have been a smart kid :)

I loved it when my mum read to me I just didn't like reading myself :)

I've read three of them I believe. I would like to finish the series,though.

@caitlyn u should def read all of them they are good :) I have the whole series :)

@Kaitlyn gosh how do u deal with talking to me?? Ur like a lil mini genius by the sounds of it!

@chy seems like that series sparked quite a few people :)

Pfft whatever...i say you are....your a bit ahead of everyone and i was always a bit behind then everyone...hahaha
btw i got my first crush at the age of 15 so you beat me lol...i was too much one of the guys lols

I have the whole series so I totally could! I need to put it on my tbr :)

(I started kindergarten at 3 on this subject )

haha i was always a tomboy lol - mum used to have to buy me the guys bordies for swimming...bc i hated all the girlie patterns on ours no jokes hehe

@caitlyn thats young!! i guess school is done differently where you are from?? I started at 4 but i was a young one...majority of ours are 5 going on 6

Kaitlyn wrote: "I started kindergarten at 4, too."

Cool!!! It worked out well for me though...bc by the time i had finished yr 10 i was only 15...did a year of tafe and got a full time job at 16 turning 17

Nope, we usually start at 5 or 6 in America but I was homeschoo,Ed so my mom started me very young. I'm gonna be 15 this fall when I start my junior year (11th grade).

Homeschooled* (I need to learn to proofread)

btw random question....has anyone read the Billabong series (the first one is A Little Bush Maid), Pollyanna series Pollyanna OR Heidi??

I've read Pollyanna

the other ones are pretty good until the author changes

I didn't know there were others actually

Caitlyn wrote: "I didn't know there were others actually"

yeah theres quite a few others - his the order of them:
Pollyanna
Pollyanna Grows Up
Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms
Pollyanna's Jewels
Pollyanna's Debt of Honor
Pollyanna's Western Adventure
There's more but I stopped in the middle of book 6

Kaitlyn wrote: "I've also read Heidi."

Heidi was good :D

I love all the old books :D
Pat of Silverbush
Emily of New Moon
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
etc

Kaitlyn wrote: "What did you mean "the author changed"?"

As in the original author stopped writing the series (which was Eleanor Porter...if you notice book 3 has a different author (Harriet Smith) then it changes again after that and it goes down hill dramatically (Elizabeth Borton)

Kaitlyn wrote: "Same here although for some reason, I couldn't get through Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. I should probably try again soon, tho."

yeah that was probs my least favourite...but i still enjoyed it
