O my ! Diary of a wimpy kid is still my fav .... i have read them all. But am 16 years old. However my fav book is khaled hussaini, a 1000 splendid suns.
Can you do a read-a-thon for a particular genre each time? For instance, one read-a-thon would be where you read only classics or only fiction etc. That would be very interesting to watch. Anyway, I would really like to thank you for inspiring and motivating me to study and persevere academically. Your study vlogs are really inspiring and I always go back to them when I need some inspiration. Thank you!
Jacqueline Wilson, Edith Blyton, Cathy Cassidy and also Roald Dahl were my favourite authors when I was younger☹️ literally loved all of these books so much, watching this video brought me back so much nostalgia☺️
sometimes we just need to bundle up and get out our childhood memories🥰🥰 it’s amazing how some quotes flashes back different moments of that time! Urgh I’d love to do some reading but I’m loaded with exams and lectures. Still sending love from korea!!❤️
임엘IMEL No problem, I’m a student myself and juggling posting on RU-vid and school can be rough, but we got this!!! ❤️🥰❤️ Stay strong! Hugs from the UK.
so happy to see you glowing and uplifted especially during the what happened to your sprain. Love you Ruby, you’re a sunshine during these troubling times💕💕
my childhood book faves: smile and sisters by raina telegeimer, nancy drew, malory towers, diary of a wimpy kid series, harry potter, babysitter's club, geronimo stilton, enid blyton and jacqueline wilson books these are the ones I can think of and I'm sure there are more!! I just love the nostalgic feeling of reading books I loved as a child, back when we were blissful and unaware of the adult life.
My favorite books were diary of a wimpy kid and bad kitty when I was little. I also loved minecraft books which are some of the only books from when I was younger that I still read. Though now my favorite book I’ve ever read is probably the Journal 3 from gravity falls.
Ruby! Can you please make another “reading my favorite childhood book” vlog Video! I love this video so much! You interested me to pick out my own childhood books and reading books that I have never read before too! Please Ruby!❤️✨✨✨📚📚📚
I loved Malory Towers when I was younger and I really enjoyed watching the BBC Series during the first couple of weeks in lockdown. Enid Blyton is one of my favourite children’s authors 💛 This video is inspiring me to spend more time outside whilst reading 📖
I've been re-reading all the "Warriors" books and I'm loving it so much. Back in time I was spending nights escaping into this fantasist cat world but now I just realize that I'm always into it and that "child books" can also be pleasing as adults one !
this has really inspired me to reread my old favourite books from when I was younger! thank you so much ruby! great video and please do more videos about reading!!🥰🥰
I absolutely loved Cathy Cassidy, Jaqueline Wilson, Mallory Towers, especially Hetty Feather and Diamond, because I was only about 3 when hetty feather came out, so I was always in the right age range to read, one of my fav series were famous five as well, I was obsessed with them. I remember in year two we had a bookmark to fill up with stickers when we finished a book and I filled up so many it was ridiculous, I was also in that year when i moved onto free reader, so I started reading them Books when I was 6 or 7.
this video lowkey made me emotional! Jacqueline Wilson was ALL I READ when i was younger and ALL the Cathy Cassidy books too! 😍 and all those classics that were read to me when i was younger 😌 absolutely LOVED this video! very very nostalgic 🌸☺️
The nancy drew series, roald dahl (really all of them but the witches is my fav.), and narnia series (specifically the horse and his boy)...literally my childhood❤🥰
I really enjoyed this video! I did an MA in Children’s Literature a few years ago and I always find it so intriguing to find out what books people loved growing up and which ones they revisit as adults.
last week I also attempt to read chronicles of Narnia and felt extremely warm and find myself lost in the old happy memories, now I'm glad to see you reading childhood books again ^^
I loved malory towers and it made me fall in love with the idea of boarding school so I begged and begged and ended up boarding from year 6 to year 13!
I've rewatched her readathons so many times and I'd love it if she does more! When she talks about the sweets in this video I can't help but think of the Weasley twins in Harry Potter and all the sweets in the series and I don't know why
Oh, this is a great idea. I might have to reread The Children of Green Knowe (Lucy M. Boston), The School at the Chalet (Elinor M. Brent-Dyer), The Wolves of Willoughby Chase (Joan Aiken) and Back Home (Michelle Magorian). They’re all such comforting favourites!
When I was younger I used to go to the public library and walk over to the Enid blyton books and read all of them over an over 📚 I loved living in the library 💕
omg yes!! ive recently gotten into middle grade, id never think id love this genre so much as an adult and yet!! the thing is i don't really know how to navigate it well since I've only recently approached it, so this is going to be super useful
I remember I was already 13 when I decided to read Ramona and Beezus because I decided to start reading English literature (I am German) and I thought starting with children's books might be easier. And I really enjoyed it! Children's books are amazing for any age. There's something about them that is so calming and cleansing???♥️🌸 Love you, Ruby!!!!
Oh my gosh! I adored the faraway tree series!! The characters❤️ I have really old copies from the forties. I also really loved Cathy Cassidy, especially Scarlett
So many of these were my absolute favourites when I was a kid! Especially Malory Towers and The Faraway Tree. I really want to go back and read them all over again!
Hi i brought upper forth at Malory towers ,in the fifth at Malory towers ,last term at Malory towers and new term at Malory towers yesterday and now I am going to read all of them . I have read Malory towers book 1,2,3
This is a great idea! Some of my childhood favorites were the Jeremy James series by David Henry Wilson, the Mr Meddles series by Enid Blyton and Paul Jennings books. Also Harry Potter and A Series of Unfortunate Events when I finally got hold of them from the library.
i remember having a book set of cathy cassidy books when i was a kid and really enjoying indigo blue and driftwood. as a kid i really enjoyed the diary of a wimpy kid books, the septimus heap series, and the ranger's apprentice series, but my all time favorite was definitely the percy jackson series. i'm actually currently in the process of rereading basically every book by rick riordan (specifically the ones centering around mythology) and the nostalgia is wonderful. honestly they're still great books, and i love them just as much now as a 20 yr old as i did when i was 8.
Such a nice video Ruby! I use to come back to my first readings too, but I haven´t done it in a while, so I may give it a try soon. Thanks for sharing it and keep safe!
The whale song by Jacqueline was my favourite when I was 7 years young. I feel so younger and much more calm after watching this......what a lovely and wholesome video from the lovely and wholesome ruby! Love you !
Hi I always look upto your book recommendations especially because I find our tastes so alike. 😊 And this time not just the books but the music too was of my type. So thanks a ton. Hope you recover soon. And keep making wonderful videos. 🤗
Maybe I would choose Anne of green gables, A Little Princess, Little Woman ,works of Jane Austin, and The count of Monte Cristo.I remember I started reading these books at grade 4 and really had fun.
I remember reading Hetty Feather with my grandma and we both loved it. It then became kind of a mini tradition to continue the series together when each book came out. I was probably way too old when Diamond came out, but I read it anyway because it reminded me of these memories.
I couldn't do a thing like this lol, not only because I'm a slow reader, but also because if a book is engrossing, I need at least two days after I've read the book to let go of the characters and the universe, before I can even think of beginning another. But if it's not engrossing, I don't really have that problem.
LOVED The Magic Faraway Tree- my grandma used to read it to my sister and I. Princess Mirabell was GREAT! I actually never got into Jacquelin Wilson really. SCARLETT!!! GREATEST book ever!!!
Scarlett, Cathy Cassidy was my favourite as a kid aswell!! My friend and I used to have competitions to see who could get through all her books the fastest haha xx
