Contemporary is probably my favourite, but I’m a real sucker for futuristic, too. Historical is the one I could probably do without. I find myself reaching for it the least.

It’s not that you have too many books. It’s that you don’t have enough bookshelves.

But HP - specifically book 6 - first got me into reading as a hobby, and for that I’ll always be grateful. It’s the series that taught me magic is real - and it’s in things called books.

What’s a book or series that you read as a kid that almost nobody seems to read or remember these days?
We read this in school and it was my absolute favourite. I read it independently years later and loved it still. Such an untapped well. There should be an adaptation!!
