Glitterature: Favorite Books From My Childhood

[Funtabulosity329]

I believe I got Sideways Stories From Wayside School as a gift from a teacher in, like, 2nd or 3rd or 4th grade, and I thought it was so strange but I loved it! And I swear I still sometimes pick it up and reread it too! My favorite story from there is the one about the girl whose eyelashes weigh a pound and a half :D

[emnem100]

I'm reading the giver as a class book right now

[anjalishy]

They had a show about the sideways school a couple of years ago.

[Zebadekitkat]

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES MORE THAN ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emilyg543]

@Zebadekitkat i do. i already have my tickets

[crystrill]

SIDEWAYS STORIES WAS MY FAV IN 3RD GRADE!!!!!!!!! Wow that was like over 15 yrs ago.

[ala394]

everything you own is just so beautiful <3

[2Tulle2]

I agree with you. "Holes" is great, but the book is still better than the movie. I think I want to find the series "The Giver".

[ihavebieberfever123]

i dont care what the video is about i watch all your videos, especially at night you are so relaxing to watch!

[soawsomely]

i love the hunger games and can not wait for the movie to come out!!!!!!

[goodw42it]

the first book you described actually made me think of one of my absolute favorites from my childhood, The Far Away Mountain. That's one of those books I've read countless times because it''s such an interesting story.

[swifterfan]

I read The Giver in school too. I loved it! Did you ever read the next books that accompany it? Gathering Blue and The Messenger. All 3 were really really good!

[Alyjod523]

Harry Potter all the way

[waterwiz44]

I had to read the giver in 8th grade.

[narcy1011]

My favorite Childhood books?  I have two: Hatchet, and The Devil's Arithmatic. I LOVE Hatchet. I'd say that was my favorite. :)

[XxStarlightxX96]

<3 the house of night books were amazing :D

[theducttapegurl]

[raysfavoritemartian2]

[wng5891]

i love the diary of ann frank

[1234567ladygaga]

Omg!!! When you pulled that book Sideways Stories From Wayside School I screamed. I remember reading them in elementary school and I thought they were soo scary cause the little stories freaked me out for some reason!!! I haven't seen that book in years

[candyapple1964]

I had soooo many favorites growing up but Island of the Blue Dolphins and the babysitters club books were my absolute favorites

[IrishBarbie21]

I LOVED the Giber, but HATED the sequels Gathering Blue and Messenger

[Nelson1296]

What breed is your cat? I love it!

[cheering4avalon]

@Nelson1296 pure breed persian

[jL0VESyouu]

When I was younger I LOVED the books by Zilpha Keetley Snyder ! I don't know if I spelled that right but her books were amazing. About like supernatural things, scarey things, sci-fi a little, but it was all through the eyes of kids so it was super relateable and fun to read :). The Runaways was also really good too, but I don't remember if that's by a different author..

[callmecourtney]

i love your letters on the top of your bookself ! :) litb

[starrainbowification]

The Giver is a Utopia, The Hunger Games is a dystopia. Just so you know...

[goodgollymissmolly92]

"Where The Red Fern Grows" is so emotionally draining! But so good! I cry even talking about the ending, hahaha. 

[bluefuzzysox]

i loved the giver and the rest of the series. i was required to read it in school, too!

[KirstyMAC07]

The Perks Of Being A WallFlower, best book ever :-)

[blueida]

Make a video of your favorite books now!

[smiletimes3]

Harry potter are my favorite books of all time. Even though I'm only 14, I have a feeling this will never ever change. I also love love LOVE the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky. It's such a good coming of age story and they're making it into a movie :) I also received the daring book for girls when I was around 10 and I love it! It's a great book just as a guide to old-fashioned girl culture.

[ferretlover21]

I just finished the giver and its a really good book!!

[AngelFace198787]

I totally remember the sidways stories from wayside school! I haven't even thought of those in forever! I also saw that on your shelf you had some shel silverstein. I still love to read his poems!

[MegaBeautyfashion]

[TeylourProductions]

[supermusiclover7890]

omg i read the sideways stories from wayside school! but i had to do a play on it though o.o

[fascinatedcraze13]

I really liked Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, I had to study it in English Literature when I was 16, was one of the very few books that made me cry. I remember being a huge fan of Meg Cabot when I was younger, I loved The Mediator Series and also Avalon High!

[monichempova]

Omg I have read the one with the sideways school

[MrsHoranPayne]

i'm currently reading the outsiders

[Rozemarijnable]

+ The wayside book is also a cartoon right? At least here is is. I'm 17 right now and honestly? I still love watching that..

[Rozemarijnable]

If I see it correct Burned is the last book of The House of Night? Because I'm reading them currently, but I'm reading them in Dutch and that one is not out here yet, still being translated. But after burned I can't look forward to any other books? That's sad :(

[kimba072]

To Kill a Mockingbird. without a doubt.

[alex25134]

Im such a harry potter freak i have literally seen and read the books at least 40 times

[rachaelrawwr00]

[TheHollygolightly101]

[sanhua]

[FallLover99]

Nice video, and have a good day, Laura Fowler.

[honeybunny0704]

I loved Astrid Lindgren-books. Do you know them in the USA?

[xostayclassy]

The other day I went on for 20 minutes trying to explain the sideways school to my roommate cause I couldn't remember the name!! Loved that book!

[xxxaeroloverxxx]

[sexeaimee]

[mitchylol]

Have you ever read the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan yet? They're really good, or the Adventures of Nicholas Flamel, by Michael Scott or the Magyk series by Angie Sage?? If you see this comment and decide to read any, please do a Glitterature!!:)

[greyhoundgirl103]

elle, the reason why the giver reminds you of the hunger games, is because they're both set in a utopian/dystopian society...

[greyhoundgirl103]

i LOVED the giver!

[pinkglitterglamer]

we have the same pigggy bank! i got it at target!!!!!!!

[Bellacullenthelovely]

[breadthless]

I just read Sideways Stories this winter break to my two little twin sisters. Now they're reading Sideways School is falling down :P

[waunakp10]

Elle, have you read Pride and Prejudice? It's during the European time era and if you haven't read it (which I'm sure you probably have), I think you'd love it.

[xbeautyqueen27x]

i love the giver i had to read it in last year in 7th grade and i like the Narnia ones

[natesmom62906]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for showing the Sideways Stories book! One of my elementary school teachers read those books to us and I LOVED them! I have a 5 year old son and I have been trying to remember the name of those books since I was pregnant with my son! You have saved the day! :)

[shanny1099]

Yeah, I know, totally apart from the fact that I LOVE your collection, I LOVE ur CAT!!!

[xEmilyEverlasting]

harry potter is so amazing omg! it's not a childhood favorite since i'm reading the books right now, but i guess since i'm 14 i can still call it a childhood favorite. yes? no? :p

[MarcelaAgraF]

Elle, can I just ask a totally random question here? The flash I see in your Diana Camera, in the beginning of the video, did it came with your camera or did you buy it separetly? =)

[sounicka]

what about "the skinny bitch" book? :D

[zoe69421]

[braceletqueen127]

I'm reading the house of night series now Omg they are the best books ever!! I'm almost done with the second one :)

[merseygirl4u]

i loved point horror books when i was in my early teens...

[theoneyoucantforget]

Walk Two Moons and The Diary of Anne Frank have always been my favourites when I was growing up. I also really loved this series which was basically diaries of different princesses from different eras of different cultures around the world among other things. I can't possibly name them all as I lost a lot of my book collection to a Hurricane but one day my personal library will be stacked! :)

[picculette]

i loooooooooooooooooove this video!!!!! i'm going to make a video response ...such a lovely and tender topic!

[LeTinamster]

that voice !!!!!

[juicydinosaur17]

My favorite book when I was little was abduction and A dogs life

[freda0309]

those books are so vintage and I love it!

[brutalcako]

Hi Elle! I'm looking for a good book for my daughter. She is 8 years old and loves too read, she prefers reading than playing. What book(s) you think she will enjoy reading?

[loveorbloom]

I used to love the Wayside books, that makes me want to read them again actually... :)

[16princessful]

unfortunately, when I was a kid we didn't have enough money for things other than what was necessary so I didn't discover the awesomeness of reading until I was in high school and I learned I could check out books in the library for free. That said, I don't have any favorite books from my childhood, but I have a bunch of favorite books now! BTW I always get inspired to read more when I watch book hauls or book reviews and now this video :)

You rock Elle!!

[SweetCutie24]

I loved mystery books like the Boxcar Mysteries, the Babysitters club, and many others. I also loved the Goosebumps books, but only the ones that you can make your own story(turn to page 85 for something bad to happen or turn to page 10 to...) I loved reading, but now I kinda go through stages where I have a book in my hand at all time, or I don't want to even see a book.

[SweetCutie24]

@SweetCutie24 My favorite books now are the City of Bones Series, and I really want to read the House of night books. I;'m actually reaing about 3 series right now, too many books not enough time. Can I just read my whole life??

[vickinewmoon93]

I love all those books!

I just watched your sorority video, and I'm pretty sure I'll be in AOII, because my school only has two sororities. Anyways, I was so sad when I found out that glitzyglam doesn't carry any AOII merchandise! I love all your videos!

[elliegator2002]

I had to read Island of the Blue Dolphins in fifth grade, and it was one that I just loved even though it was a required read. Where the Red Ferns Grows was another :)

[9ktlyn]

The worst book i ever read was "The waltons go to birminham" WORST BOOK EVER!!! -___- I read it for school.

[elizabethwinsor]

and Timeless Love by Judith O'Brien

[elizabethwinsor]

you can get the MYST by David Wingrove on amazon

[LightsCameraAG99]

I love where the red fern grows!!!!

[justindrewbieber999]

You're missing two house of night books. :o

[KYGNfknLEE]

Hey Elle if you liked the book holes then you would love the book Small steps! Its by the same author and it is the life of Armpit and X-ray after they get back from camp green lake. That was my favorite book growing up until I read Small steps! Its amazing

[princesslb01]

Where The Red Fern Grows!!! Favorite book ever! I also really loved The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, The BFG and The Witches by Roald Dahl. Plus, my coming of age books were Judy Blume, The Babysitters Club, and of course Sweet Valley Twins/ High!

[seph403]

omg i remember the wayside school stories! i used to love that!

[VintageVanity08]

please do the room tour now if you haven't, me and my mom love you and your style! We actually found you from tone it up! We both love Karena so much, and skunk! anyway, please make a video we're dying to see how you decorate :)

[ilovenerds713]

my fifth grade teacher read all the wayside school books to us, but when he read them to us he would change the characters names to our names in the class, and we would think it was the greatest thing in the world

[ilovenerds713]

omgg i loved the giver!!!

[amandaaa97]

oh my gosh. i HATE where the red fern grows. makes me bawl my eyes out. can't stand sad stories -_-

[expensivepink7]

i wanted a lecture on how harry potter is so amazing lol we got point three seconds haha

[coolkidzzzzzz123]

You remind me to keep reading! sometimes i forget to read when life gets too busy

[MsLovin2010]

The Baby-Sitters Club, The Balloon Tree, and Sweet Valley High/University. Pinecone has gotten so big. What a cutie. Great video.

[LoveAlwaysTaryn]

oh god I hated the Giver....

[prettylilmexiCAN]

@LoveAlwaysTaryn Why?

[Beautypolice51]

omgg, i love the Giver! i reccommend it to anyone not just kids because there's actually a lot of symbolism in it that young readers may not notice

[12enecia]

I had Sideways Stories from Wayside School, too!

Other books that remind me of my childhood are:

The Baby-Sitters Club series

The Ramona Quimby series by Beverly Cleary

Are You There God, It's Me Margaret

Bridge to Terabithia

The Indian in the Cupboard

R.L. Stine's Goosebumps collection (and then later Fear Street)

Second Grade Friends (And then there was Second Grade Friends Again)

[12enecia]

@12enecia I forgot to add Amelia Bedelia!

[mPlusBdiaries]

also just finished reading hex hall and i swear u would love it. i'm 28 and i loved it.

[mPlusBdiaries]

loved this vid. would love to see a adult favs for books (like house of night, twilight, nicholas sparks, etc)

[StylishChristie]

Finally ! There Is Proof ! Not Only The Flower Sisters Lie About Giveaways etc. They Lie About There Names ! "I've been at my parents house." So you know its her room. On the top of her bookshelf there is letters, AXN , News Flash That Is Her Name initials. (Surprise she did not edit it out) So Most People Think Her Name Is Elle Fowler , Idk About Her Middle Name, But with just that information You know her Initials would be EF, Where do you see EF In AXN. I Hear Her Name Is Annie, So? You Judge

[JustAWink92]

@StylishChristie those are greek letters...for alpha chi omega, a sorority.

[SooSweeet21]

i love The Giver!

[BonjourShow]

[vickiickio8o]

You should try The Mysterious Benedict Society

[CarlyRox62]

HARRY POTTER IS MY CHILDHOOD <3

[mylittlenork]

The Giver reminds you of The Hunger Games because they are both dystopians :)

[ErinLindsay13]

OH MY GOD! Sideways Stories from Wayside School was like THE BEST BOOK EVER.

[shootinginthedark]

I have read almost all those books ! except the myst& narnia series :P but whoa it brings me back:)

[alohhaaitscasey]

I read the giver in nineth grade and I love it.

[lyeaanngn]

Where The Red Fern Grows is also a motion picture movie. I saw the movie, haven't read the book but yes, it is a good one...

[PheeMusic]

I've read Holes and seen the film, and prefer the book to:')

[katjagirl33]
