Booking Through Thursday

Booking Through Thursday asks Do you remember the first book you bought for yourself? Or the first book you checked out of the library? What was it and why did you choose it?

I believe the book that I first bought for myself was The Little Princess.  I can't recall why I choose it but I believe it was probably because I really liked the premise of the book.   I don't know why I picked up the book, but probably the pink cover had something to do with that.
