Re: Books you loved when you were 10

[ginainthekingsroad]

I was always reading significantly ahead of my age group, due to a combination of factors: my general intelligence, being surrounded by books on every wall*, and the desire to keep up with what my older sisters were interested in/reading. So at 10 I was definitely reading YAs that were beyond the skill of most of my classmates, and adult novels at 11-12. Some things I remember reading at roughly 8 to 10:

•ALL the Oz books, ALL the Mary Poppins books, and ALL the Betsy-Tacy books.
•Anything E. Nesbit: Psammead books, The Magic Castle, Whereyouwanttogoto & other stories.
•Anything Edgar Eager: Magic series, especially The Time Garden, Magic by the Lake, and Seven-Day Magic.
•Started getting into Diana Wynne Jones: Chrestomanci books (first 4; the others hadn't been published yet- I was 10 in 1999), Dalemark books, The Homeward Bounders, Howl's Moving Castle; many more soon after!
•Rumer Godden's doll books: The Doll's House, Miss Happiness & Miss Flower, Little Plum
•Lots of historical fiction, and non-fiction too. I was very into art history at 9-10, so I had tons of art books and artist biographies. Also stuff on ocean animals, although that was a little before.


*Seriously every spare wall, except kitchen/bathrooms (and there were still some books in those rooms...). Here a demonstration of what I'm talking about, with adorable kitties! That's not my childhood home, it's the house we moved into when I was 11 because there wasn't enough room in that house for all the books. Custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the library and study. Still not sufficient; landing, bedrooms, many other rooms covered and now overflowing.
