Memorable books from your childhood.
Penthouse magazines in the woods.
Idk what edition it would have been back in the 90's but I got this for my birthday or Christmas when I was about 7.
I had (still have em in storage) quite a few of these, the "Dear America" books.
The Fear Street books, and also Goosebumps books! I was all over the cheesiness! Lol.
Ooh, I was into the Boxcar Children for a little while.
The melancholy death of oyster boy & other stories

Ooh yes, those Eyewitness books that tell you a bunch of random shit about whatever topic it was, I loved those as well! A lot of similar style geography books also.
Iโm realizing that I was severely cheated out of black book characters growing up.

Loved these books! I was looking for a cover but waited to choose. I actually have a bunch of these still.
This is another lesser known series I liked:
What about "Where's Waldo?"
I loved those and the optical illusion books...I had some card trick books as well but they didn't hold my attention for long lol.

But I was obsessed with rocks as a kid. Still have some of my old collection.click to expand
I've always collected rocks. Like, normal rocks that I just think they look cool or whatevs - I get it ๐๐
I grew up spending a lottttt of time at my grandparent's and they lived on a lake so in the warmer months I'd find all sorts of rocks n little shells n random stuff that I "had to have". I still carry a few of my favorite rocks with me to this day, in my purse and in highschool I had some scattered around my car lol ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐
I loved the choose your own ending books too!

Excellent. I lost this one and must get it again. To be fair though, I bought it as a young adult.

Plus the usual for an 80s kid: an encyclopedia (to act as a better version of google), roleplaying books, fighting fantasy books, a lot of scifi books from the 60s to the 80s
