I’ll go first. Little House on The Prairie & Anne of Green Gables. by Impossible_Assist460 Related: Books About Modern-Day Scamming? Looking for a psychology book on celebrity worship syndrome! A book with a female protagonist over the age of 30 Wintery short stories and novellas that feel like snow and isolation? Like Harry Potter but slice of life?
RedFloodles on May 7, 2024 9:03 pm The Naughtiest Girl in School books by Enid Blyton The Magic Faraway Tree books by Enid Blyton The Wishing Chair books by Enid Blyton Hmm… I think I have a type. Although interestingly I’m not mad into fantasy as an adult! Special mention to everything written by Jacqueline Wilson pre. 2007 (though looking back now Jesus Christ they were not children’s books were they?!)
