Just so you know, that book you read in 8th grade is titled "Holes."
Thanks! That had been a precious memory for me. I looked over at Google and was not surprised it has a movie. I had a feeling. And now, I am going to watch it. Hahahaha!
Our family had no TV back then, nor computers, so I grew up reading books and developed a habit of reading till I fell asleep.
The same! Not even electricity (like grade 6 to grade 8) or phones. I didn't even know things like 'android' existed in high school. Just a funny thing I want to share. I had my first android in grade nine, and that was when I was exposed to web novels. My idiot ass back then thought my phone might become shinier if I used a red floor wax on it. I did the same to my shoes. I was so sad when I realized what I had done, and it was too late to turn back time. Thankfully, I could still read webnovels on them. Fun times.
Is it weird that I felt privileged in my youth, we didn't have electricity, TV, or a computer? I honestly felt special when I got to boast that we didn't have a TV or electricity. Looking back, it does feel weird. What am I even thinking?
Choose Your Adventure books my babysitter’s son read to me and let me play. Those typical books where you are flipping to certain parts depending on your choices.
Ah, yes... CYOAs. I was quite fond of those, too, especially in high school. My first CYOA I think was Magium? I think that was also the first time I was introduced to LitRPG. I remembered being so sad when I finished a story, and realized I had to pay to unlock the next books. Years later, more books would be available for free, and I would binge on them, trying to get different endings.
