While combing through my bookshelf last week, I was hit with a wave of nostalgia when I saw all of my favorite childhood books hidden underneath piles of school assigned reading. Some of which I dreaded, and some of which I actually liked. I thought about how much I loved to read as a kid, even to the point where sometimes I had books taken away from me by my teachers at school and my parents at home because I could never put down a good book.
I've decided that I'm going to get back into the groove of reading and rekindle my love for the amazing escape from reality that books provide. Here are some of the books that sparked my love for reading as a kid and which I think that all 2000s kids have seen at some point in their childhoods, and even if you aren't a kid these are some of the best reads in my opinion.
