I love all these answers! What’s wild is how much the books we weren’t prepared for became so memorable. I still love Carrie and A Clockwork Orange even though they were both terrifying.

Philosophical Question: If I read Flowers in the Attic at 11/12-ish and then Mists of Avalon at like 13, was I *still* too young for Mists? lol
-
The Mists of Avalon is one of my favorite books and you’re so right! I was about 13 too! I only learned as an adult all the messed-up stuff about the author

Yes, just about every Gen X girl learned way too much from V.C. Andrews' books

Gotta be Jaws, at age 12 but also: The Shining The Other Side of Midnight Scruples The Reincarnation of Peter Proud Sybil I had an adult library card & nobody monitoring my reading habits other than to say "Go outside for gods sake!"

Scruples! I was super into Judith Krantz and Danielle Steel when I was in 5th grade.
