Entertainment
As a kid, reading was always something that I found enjoyable. I would literally sit for hours and read books, even during the summer. Back then, there was nothing that my mom could've said or done to take me away from a good book no matter how hard she tried. Even now, books are still my thing. So when I see books that were important to me in my past, a bit of excitement takes over. Though I'm not a mom yet, I'm always giving my sister books from the '90s that every '90s kid should read their kids so that she can have those moments with my niece.
It's always amazing to me when I see books from my past make their way on my nieces bookshelf and have them be books that she loves as much as I did. Although Five Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed tends to be my nieces favorite book to recite, having my sister expose her to books such as If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, and a plethora of Dr. Seuss choices, is always nice to see. I don't know if it's just me, but reading those books to her and reliving my childhood tends to give me all the feels.
Ready to take a walk down memory lane? These 10 books are a blast from the past that you'll be willing to relive.

'The Face On The Milk Carton' by Caroline B. Cooney

'The Baby-Sitter's Club' Series by Ann M. Martin
During my childhood, reading The Baby-Sitter's Club books made being a babysitter seem so cool. As I got older though, I found out that it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be.
