Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb. With permission, I’ve restarted it in 2026.
This week’s prompt:
It’s Children’s Book Week, so let’s talk about favorite children’s books. Who were your fictional besties in childhood? Was there a series you read over and over again? Did you want to follow Lucy through the wardrobe or solve mysteries with Trixie Belden? Let us know!
In honor of Children’s Book Week, what were your favorite childhood books?
How to play:
- On your blog: Copy the question/image for your blog, answer it there, and post a quick comment here with a link or trackback to your post so we can read it.
- On social media: Copy the image, answer the prompt, and post a quick comment here with a link.
- Right here: Answer in the comments and start the discussion here. No need to have a blog to play.
Note: If it’s your first time here, your comment may end up in moderation. (My spam filter is aggressive.) I’ll be in after my writing sprints to set it free.
P.S. The prompt is always open, and you don’t have to play on Thursday. Comment whenever you like!

I already gave two away as part of the post. I loved The Chronicles of Narnia and the Trixie Belden series. (Actually, if you combine these two influences, it might go a long way to explaining my current project.)
But I also loved the Secret Seven, the Betsy-Tacy books, Encyclopedia Brown, and the list goes on.
Chronicles of Narnia was also on my list!
It truly was such an iconic series by an iconic author!

That was a great list! Thanks for stopping by.
