Since I’ve been AWOL for so long, and out of practice where writing is concerned, I can’t seem to think of anything to write about. My mind is always processing something and I’m constantly bitching about something but yet, can’t seem to get anything going on paper or this blog. 

I was racking my brain, and decided to go the old school route. Throwback Thursday is still a thing though, isn’t it? Well, if it isn’t it should be. Today’s throwback is a list of my favorite childhood books! It’s just a short list, don’t worry.

When I was small, my favorite book was Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman. I always felt so bad for the poor little bird who was in search for his mother. Even back then I had great empathy for others.

When I was a little older, I liked The Berenstain Bears by Stan and Jan Berenstain. What I think I liked the best is the bears’ little house in the tree. It was just so neat!

Then as a pre-teen or teenager, I read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I shit you not, I read that book 14 times! If I still had my paperback copy from back then I could look on the inside of the front cover where I kept a tally of how many times I read it. I’m pretty sure it was 14 times! It was such a good book! When the movie came out, it was good but it was disappointing because the book was so much better. That’s usually how it goes though, right?

Well, there ya go. I’m sure I must have liked other books but these 3 are the ones that are the most memorable to me. What are your favorite childhood books?
