20 Of My All-Time Favorite Books That 2000s Teens Have Read In Their Childhood

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.

1. The Magic Tree House Series

The classic tales of Jack and Annie's adventures as they venture into another world through their magic tree house.

2. Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series

3. The Percy Jackson Series

4. The Warriors Series

The lives of cats are so much more interesting than anyone would have thought.

5. The Hunger Games Series

Team Peeta or Team Gale?

6. Junie B. Jones Series

This mischievous little girl always gets into the funniest situations and makes reading them so much fun.

7. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Who knew learning alphabets could be so fun?

8. Goosebumps series

9. The American Girl Doll books

Tales about girls who come from various backgrounds, ethnicities, time periods and families. They all share certain characteristics however such as courage, bravery and a caring heart.

10. The Magic School Bus Books

11. Shel Silverstein's Poem Books

His poems and stories are all so beautiful and rich with meaning, and we can't forget about his giant self-portraits on the back of his books.

12. A Bad Case of Stripes

Friendship is defined by people who love you for who you are, not how you look.

13. Amelia Bedelia Books

The hilarious adventures of Amelia, a housemaid who always gets into trouble.

14. The Wishbone Series

Everyone's favorite detective doggo.

15. The Rainbow Magic Fairies Series

There is a type of fairy for literally anything that can be categorized; you name it.

16. Goodnight Moon

The perfect bedtime story for any sensitive child.

17. The Spiderwick Chronicles

An eerie tale packed with adventure about a boy who is able to see supernatural creatures after his family moves to the spider wick home.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
