Holy shit, I think I remember seeing that.

One of my books was the Avalon series.
As far as I remember, I was fascinated firstly, because I liked fantasy and magic, but also because I hated the main character. She was so fucking alien to me, I loved reading about her.

Apparently, it's getting a series soon? But I don't know about that.

Got it for cover art and sketches, but liked the story too.

Couldn't get more than the first two though. Hunted for the third book for the longest time.

Also, Garth Nix's keys to the kingdom series, a really lovely setting for fantasy

It was my first real step outside of Harry Potter esque fantasy shit.

Speaking of Harry Potter, waiting in line for the last book was a pretty nice experience. Nowadays all my favorite authors are dead people so I can't do that.

Wew, that brings me back. Always wanted to read more from the guy but I don't think he really went anywhere.

I remember being completely entranced by that book.

Darren Shan's demonata and cirque de freak series was the shit back in primary early secondary school

You and me both man

it had the sort of dreamlike child-logic that really appealed to my 3rd grade mind

I started seriously reading with Oisín McGann and Philip Reeve. "The Gods and their Machines" and "Small-Minded Giants" by the former. The "Mortal Engines" Quadrilogy by the Latter.

I don't think I'd ever go back and read them again though. I enjoyed them as a kid and I'm happy to keep them that way in my head. I'm worried that rereading them would ruin them for me. As they're no doubt much more simplistic than I recall.
