I can totally relate! 
I loved those spooky Goosebumps stories too. I even used to borrow the books from a friend just so I could get lost in those creepy adventures. 
Such fun memories from childhood! 
I honestly can’t remember one particular book that stayed with me from my school years, but I definitely remember Dr. Seuss books! Especially Green Eggs and Ham. The silly rhymes, made-up words, and wonderfully strange illustrations made reading feel fun rather than like schoolwork, and those are some of the earliest books I can still picture in my mind.
And Pagestory Books DH103 looks so interesting! This looks like some serious DIY, which makes me even more curious about it. Am I seeing wire work in there too? 
My very first build was Sam’s Study and I loved it. This book store looks beautiful. I have a passion for the look of old snd new book stores. The Old Man and the Sea is a book I read in school that has always stayed with me.
What a well-detailed kit! It’s clear there was a lot of thought and nostalgia put into it’s conception. Books and reading have always been a big part of my life. My first word was “read”, and I grew up to be that kid in school who always had a book on them. I’ve always gravitated to fantasy and mystery books, with books by Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, and Agatha Christie being noted favorites.
I’m a huge fan of books and an avid reader. I loved reading fantasy as a child like Lord of The Rings, The Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe.
Was and still am a big fan of Roald Dahl, The Twits was my favourite book.
As I got older I got in to reading horror, especially Stephen King. But I do love classics too.
This is such a beautiful concept. I so so love it! This brought back so many memories! When I was a kid, we had so many different books at home, and they’re actually still at my parents’ house. Back then, having a complete set of encyclopedias was quite popular, and we had one too. My favorite books changed as I grew up. At first, it was fairy tales, because I truly believed I could be a princess too! Then, as I got a little older, I moved on to comics and adventure books, and later I became fascinated with trivia books because I loved learning random little facts.Looking back, I think each phase reflected a different part of who I was becoming. It’s amazing how books can grow with us and leave memories that stay for a lifetime.
There weren’t any bookstores within walking distance in my neighborhood but the Detroit Public Library had a branch that was just a bus ride away. I spent hours there on Saturdays, exploring all the sections. My favorite books were the Chronicles of Narnia. By high school, it was “The Chosen” and “My Name is Asher Lev” by Chaim Potok.
There is a bookstore in Harrisburg, PA called Scholar Books. That store reminds me of the one you built in this latest kit. Nooks and crannies where stacks of books are neatly tucked away on shelves. A truly lovely place to visit.
This is so beautiful! My mom used to read us bedtime stories when we were little. We had a little space beside the stairs where we kept our books, and every night we would pick one to bring to our bedroom for Mom to read to us. This brings back such sweet memories.
I’ve been a bookworm since i was little. I loved sitting in my relaxchair in my room and read for hours on end. Nowadays i like listening to books being read to me with a app while im driving to work or in bed to help me relax without a screen in front of me. Listening to books or reading gives me the same relaxation as crafting. The ultimate relaxation is listing to a spoken book while crafting.
One of my favorite parts of being in school was decorating the bulletin boards…and in later years, my locker…LOL! I have never been a huge fan of reading.
WOW! What a vivid imagination and great memories you have. @Suzanne_Jones
Adding this to my wishlist!
I remember that as a kid, aged 10-12, I loved books and sometimes even read ones I didn’t fully understand, like Shakespeare. But even then, I fell in love with crime novels, especially Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – they have a special place in my heart.
Then I had a long break from books – I think mandatory books in school kill all the fun from reading…
Until I started reading again around 16 – starting the Vampirates series by Justin Somper. It was so light and enjoyable that it brought back the joy of reading.
Every time I visit the bookshop, the cookbook section is usually my first stop. I can easily spend over an hour reading recipes from amazing chefs around the world. One of my favorites is 101 Cookbooks by Heidi Swanson, which focuses on healthy, homemade everyday recipes.
But one day, after finishing in the cooking section, I happened to walk past the religious books and spotted the Bible. When I opened it, I got completely hooked on the story of how God created mankind. I had always wondered how the world began and how human life started, so I bought the Book immediately!
When I got my very first copy, I was so glued to it that I could hardly sleep. I was so eager to read every single page! Almost all my questions about faith were answered—including whether God really exists. It showed me that there truly is an Almighty God, and that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to show that They love all of humanity.
Aside from cookbooks, the Bible is truly my all-time favorite! 
I used to read a lot of books when I was young
Nowadays I rarely read any book.
I still read but more from my cellphone
Things change a lot over the years
I love the kit because of the layout and the details of it
Goosebumps. I love reading those when I was younger. Then i stopped reading for a while and went back to reading with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I eventually stopped reading and now i am back with audiobooks. I love listening to either psychological thrillers or heartbreaking stories. My favourite at the moment is “the last letter” by Rebecca Yarros. I usually listen to audiobooks or podcasts while building Rolife kits. 
Seems like books will be gone eventually … we probably won’t see books store in real world soon
Wow this new kit is absolutely beautiful 
Taking my chance to win it 
Reading has always been part of my life, as an only child I spent hours and hours in the worlds of Harry Potter, katniss everdeen and Percy Jackson.
But one of my strongest memory related to books is probably the day I finished the fault in our stars by John Green. We were in the cars with my parents coming back from Italy and at one point I bursted into tears. That’s the first time ever I cried reading and also the day I realised how strong words can be ! This book will always be special to me.
