When I was a kid, these books reigned supreme...
Little House in the Big Woods (Little House, #1)The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, #1)Beezus and Ramona (Ramona, #1)Voyage on the Great Titanic: The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, R.M.S. Titanic, 1912Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Fudge, #1)



Then this book came along when I was in middle school and changed everything...
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1)


I lost my way by the time the final Harry Potter book came out and even though it gets a lot of crap, it's what brought me back to reading and will always hold a special place for me...
Twilight (Twilight, #1)

The gateway to my new favorite genre...DYSTOPIA...
The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

My first real contemporary YA novel that made me okay with the genre and find a bunch of new authors and books to love in the contemporary genre...
The Fault in Our Stars

The book series that never fails to get me out of a reading rut. I can devour these books in a sitting...
One for the Money (Stephanie Plum, #1)
