- Latest Review: My ABC "Chair" Book by Barbara H. Hartsfield
As a teen, it was Iris Johansen. This was back in the days she was still writing romance.
Now, it's Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, Christine Feehan, and Kyle Mills' contributions to Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp political thrillers.

- Latest Review: Veil of Secrecy by Margaret Franceschini
The first author obsession I had whose books I actually count as books was J.K Rowling. I discovered the Harry Potter books in 3rd grade when only the first 3 were released. From that point on, I had an aunt who loved that I was reading such big books and took me to every single book and movie midnight release.

I found Ted Dekker a little later on through his Lost Books series but wasn't allowed to read many of his books (for good reason) until I was older. His books were really my first introduction to suspense/horror.

I have never been a fan of the Dr. Seuss books. I love the Grinch, but I just never cared for the books.APoohW wrote: ↑26 Mar 2014, 08:56 Dr. Seuss, I remember sitting on my dads knee and reading them. My Mom and Dad enrolled me in the Dr. Seuss club when I was three, I was reading by myself at the age of four. I guess there started my love for reading by the age of 6 I was reading books that were written for teens they were called the Avon series and Judy Blume. My kindergaten teacher hated me because I was reading and writting already so she really had nothing to teach me except math, and I absolutly positively HATED Math! I knew my numbers thanks to Dr. Seuss but that was it.

HP Lovecraft is a close candidate. Even though I haven't read all of his works, I've read a majority with Edgar Allen Poe being a close second.

Ooh, me too! I like Enid Blyton as well, although the "Famous Five" and "Secret Seven" were never my favorites. I loved her short stories and "Magic Faraway Tree," but the absolute best ones for me were the two "Six Cousins" books.Strangeminds wrote: ↑28 Dec 2019, 11:48 For me, it was Enid Blyton. I read one of her books in 'the Malory towers' series when I was in the fourth standard and really loved it. I wanted to read all books in the series and read most of it and her 'famous five' series and the 'secret seven' series. Even today, if I stumble upon one of her books in the library, I readily grab them without doubt
As for me, I think the first author I had to read everything by was Junji Ito. He writes horror manga, and his stuff's a little off-the-wall, but that's why I love him. He reminds me a lot of Stephen King

They're both fantastic The first one is "Six Cousins at Mistletoe Farm" and the sequel is "Six Cousins Again." It's really worth reading them in order. They're a little more serious than Blyton's usual books and there are no lashings of ginger beer or Good People vs. Bad People; just people being people. She had a very shrewd grasp on human natureStrangeminds wrote: ↑12 Apr 2020, 23:58 Oh! I haven't read the 'six cousins' book but now its definitely on my to read list.

They're available to read on Open Library, but they were misfiled under "A book of Animal Stories."
