OMG I have thought about that vanishing village book for YEARS and YEARS and could never remember what it was called!!!!!!!!
Loving the nostalgia on this thread! I think I started reading as soon as I could and I’ve been hooked ever since.
I loved Enid Blyton books, Jacqueline Wilson, Goosebumps, Harry Potter, Sweet Valley High, Babysitters Club.
I remember these and have distinct memories of the case with all the yellow tapes in. Did anyone have these?

I’ve been reading as long as I can remember so I can’t remember what made me fall in love with reading but some of you have given me blasts from the past! Jacqueline Wilson was probably first but can’t be sure, The Famous Five, Babysitters Club, Harry Potter and A Series of Unfortunate Events (I think this was probably my first series. I vividly remember being in Waterstones with my dad and looking at them when there was about 5 or 6 out and then he bought me them all for my Christmas!). I also loved the Louise Rennison series too.
I also remember being about 11 or 12 and my dad took me to the library to get a card. Our closest one was miles away and we didn’t have a car and I remember I used to walk about an hour each way every few weeks to take out the maximum books haha! I used to read as I walked home (bit dangerous!)

Ooh I also forgot the Noughts and Crosses series! Not sure how as I still re-read them from time to time and my first book is completely wrecked and has detached from the spine haha

OMG is this the one that was basically a book about taking heroin?! I definitely read that when I was about 12 too! It must have stuck with me as I barely remember what I read last week never mind 20 years ago haha

Omg I just remembered Judy Blume and my friend and I secretly reading what seemed to us to be incredibly scandalous fare about periods and sex
I’ve just ordered some on eBay feeling all nostalgic, I can read them with my son!
Haha! Yeah I remember a copy of Forever doing the rounds of my group of friends with the corners of certain pages folded over to mark the “good” bits!Omg I just remembered Judy Blume and my friend and I secretly reading what seemed to us to be incredibly scandalous fare about periods and sex
Summer sisters was another one i found v racy!!!
me too! EBay’s algorithm must be confused tonight!
Omg I adored the Louise Rennison books. They genuinely made me laugh out loud so much.
And yeah all about heroin!! My mum obvs had no idea what I was reading
if I remember correctly the main character ran away from home or something and ended up living with people addicted to heroin. And I have the same memory like since seeing it mentioned I can vividly remember reading it and being all shocked, even tho it was so long ago 
I’ve just remembered after EB when I was a I moved on to flowers in the attic
i read the for my OU degree as I’ve read fed it to my A-Z because I fancy reading it again.omg I remember reading this! Loved it! maybe why I love a bleak book
Had a late night visit to Asda. The book aisle owns my soul 
I definitely got in to reading when I was young through my mum buying me books 🥹
She got me all sorts, Jacqueline Wilson were definitely my favourites for a long time. I had a series that I was obsessed with - helpfully I can’t remember what it was called - but I remember they were all hardbacks and the covers were slightly velvety which sparked my love for pretty covers 
I was also obsessed with the Sleepover Club, and I loved (and still love) the tv show Charmed and when I was younger there were tonnes of books based on the show.
I wish I still had all the books I had when I was younger

I was so fortunate growing up that I was encouraged to read. I still remember going to visit my grandparents for summer holidays and they would have a pile of books they had got me from the local charity shop to read during the summer. I also have very fond memories of going to the local bookshop as a treat to choose a new book at birthdays. I hammered the library service and still do
