Kerri_M | 597 comments I have had an idea for a while now that I would like to write about what I think of as my "breakthrough books" - the books that have read that have opened up a new reading path for me, or have had a huge impact on me at the time, those that I have reread many times, and have a special place in my memories.

But I have stalled, because well, for a variety of reasons.

But on Facebook this week, I was nominated into a challenge called #BookChallenge . Every day for 7 days to post books that I love.

One book per day, no explanations, no reviews, just the cover.

This is how I will post my Breakthrough Books - words not needed, the pictures will tell the story of my reading life

Feel free to join in, would love to know your breakthrough books too :)

Silver Brumby book was absolutely mine as well....plus the whole series.
And I’ve just spent ages thinking about another series I adored. Obviously my brain has not gone to poo because I found it! The triolgy Flambards by K.M. Peyton Probably my first foray into romance now I think about it. Forgotten it was a tv series too! Ahhh memories

I read a lot of horse books as a kid, but the Brumby series I have re-read several times as an adult, it is still a favourite for me

And I have been having lots of fun remembering my break through books. I need to get back to it, work has been a bit hectic the last couple of weeks!

Heather | 388 comments I was reading the The Hanging Tree and it mentioned The Owl Service. I remember having that book as a child. There used to be a book catalogue through school and I remember I "bought" that one and another called The Silver Crown. These introduced me to fantasy books.
