October 18 – Kids and Books. What were your favorite books as a kid? Do you still read children’s books? If you would give a book to your younger self, what would it be?
What were your favorite books as a kid?
If you come by my blog before, you'll know that:
- I'm a huge fan of Eric Carle (picture books for very young kids)
- I've read tons of Enid Blyton
- I have a thing for interactive books, like the Ology Series
- I adore Neil Gaiman
- I like mysteries
Looking back, as a child, I think I was a pretty eclectic reader already:
- Really enjoyed Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar
- Read tons of Enid Blyton (did I say that already?)
- Really, really wanted more pop-up books but ended up looking in bookstores
- Did not have anyone like Neil Gaiman to read (yes, I'm old)
- Read Nancy Drew compulsively (yes, I got hooked on mysteries early)
So favourites-wise, please don't ask :)
Of course! And I even review them here on my blog!
If you would give a book to your younger self, what would it be?
Hmmm, who comes up with these hard questions? I couldn't give just one book; I'd give them the keys to the library!

If you're based in the Philippines, be sure to pop in at Ateneo de Manila University on November 9 and hobnob with fellow bibliophiles in this years's Filipino Reader Conference.
