The name escapes me right now, but they were a number of books about a cat that went on a bunch of bizarre adventures. I remember them being illustrated really, really artistically and they were all somewhat creepy. I loved those things. I feel like the cat's owner was named Amelia or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Same guy here. I just remembered the name. Zoom. Motherfucking Zoom. Zoom at Sea, Zoom Away, Zoom Upstream. Quite possibly my favorite books as a little kid.

My school library would have numbers with grades on them. Being my school was Pre-K up to 8th grade, I just ended up reading the older shit. The numbers ended at 5th grade anyways and they were nothing but kiddy sports books.

books with stickers saying what "reading grade" they were for*

18 year old inbetween Junior and High school here. I still get bullshit about "college level" reading. I think setting levels like this only retards the generation.
