Into the Past: What books would your past self recommend at ages 6, 11, 16 and 20?
Like most of us who love to read, books were like treasure to me at every age. Here’s a look at books I’d recommend at different ages.
Age Six- Harriet the Spy. I loved her so much that I think I convinced myself for awhile that I was her.
Age 11- A Wrinkle in Time. Again. This book had such a huge impact on me. We read it as a class when I was in grade 6 and I was completely absolutely hooked. The teacher would read a chapter at a time and we’d do projects and talk about the characters and I was living in Meg’s world and obsessed.
Age 16- SE Hinton books ruled my world. My favourite book was That Was Then, This is Now.
Age 20- This was a brief period in my life where I didn’t read as much because I was going to college and most of my free time I was studying. One book that was assigned in my Canadian Literature class was Lady Oracle and I can remember that having a big impact on me (and leading to a ghostly encounter that still spooks me to this day and I`ll tell you about some time if you ask).
Great books! I am intrigued by the ghostly encounter. Consider this as me asking about it! ;)
