I didn't like many books since I wasn't a good reader, but I loved Bridge to Terabithia. I was so happy when the movie came out! I got the audiobook awhile back too so that I could read the book again. I think I would have enjoyed the audio even more, but even with my poor reading abilities I loved that book.

Definitely! And the best part was, they didn't mess up the book when they made the movie. If you read the audiobook, you'll find out why. The author's son apparently played a very active role in the movie creation of this book and so he wanted the story to stay true to the original.

I loved Enid Blyton too and would read them over and over. I also remember getting a book from the library 'The Borrowers' and felt very proud to have read a whole book through. I became engrossed in the story as I read it and thought about that book and story for many years to come.

I love reading fairy tale books like "Snowhite and the seven dwarfs" , "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty" and some other stories like that. I am very much amazed with their appearances as princess. They are all lovely princess and all have a splendid gown. I also love reading stories which gives moral lesson in the end like "The Boy who cried "wolf" " , "Hansel and Gretel", "Ugly Duckling" and many more.

Hi, Enid Blyton books were among the very first books I read and enjoyed. I like reading about the naughty schoolgirls (can't remember the titles), and the adventures of the Secret Seven. I also like her short stories about the pixies, elfs and fairies!
