This week's question is: What is the first book you remember reading? – Bookish Findings 



MY ANSWER: Oh pickles. I can't remember what the first book ever was. Books I grew up reading endlessly as a child were the Berenstain Bears books and some large Disney ones that were basically all my favorite Disney movies in book format!

Sorry for the tiny picture, but wanted to show the book I was referring to. Sadly Goodreads only had a small one. Amazon was no help either.

 But if we want to talk first book that got me into reading, or more precisely, Paranormal reading, well I will share with you the book I love to mention:
Yup! Demon in My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I'm pretty sure I read Amelia's first book, In the Forests of the Night first, and while I did like that one. It was Demon in My View that I totally fell in love with vampires! Perhaps I was a bit spoiled with the heroine being named Jessica, but that truly made the enjoyment all the more better! And it was probably after this one that my mind started spinning with ideas and the dream of being a writer was born!

    I HAD THAT BOOK, TOO! I loved it. And why do I always forget about the Berenstain Bears? I went through them like hotcakes.

    I remember reading those Disney ones too. I remember The Cat in the Hat being one of the first books I read, I was obsessed with it when I was little.

    I remember reading little golden books that had Disney and other characters in them. :) What a strange looking cover on the one that got you back into reading. :)

    I can't remember the exact first book I read but the author which featured predominantly in my childhood was Enid Blyton. The book which drew me into paranormal and fantasy was Twilight.

    The Berenstain Bears!! Completely forgot about those, and I don't know how because I loved them! I'm loving the question this week, because it's bringing back so many fond stories that helped me nurture my love for reading. I definitely remember reading the Boxcar Children mystery, Nancy Drew, the boy version of Nancy Drew (totally blanking!), and the Babysitters Club books!

    Forgive me if this posts twice, but I was having some trouble. Anyway, I was just saying that I had never heard of Demon In My View before. But hearing you talk about it, I think I'm going to have to check it out!
