Today we're talking about books that tickled my brain when I first read them as a kid. Most of these I read as a pre-teen and I credit these books for not only encouraging my love of reading, but also inspiring me to create magical worlds of my own. So it's a trip down memory lane! We'll also chat a bit about recent reads and books on my TBR.
