It's nice that someone checks the older posts too. It's a nice reminder for me too, seeing that I've written about something like this ages ago.
I read really different kinds of stuff when I was around 12 or so, I've kept a list for years and looking back at it, I'm not sure if reading some of the crime novels I read when I was about 14 was the best idea. I still have a certain fondness for crime books, I was usually the go to person for suggestions when I was working at the bookstore. Hah, I too bought the Fairytales of Brothers Grimm last year! However, it's still wrapped in plastic since it's one of those really gorgeous Taschen editions and IDK, maybe I should just open it and look at all the pretty pictures. And whoa, your school sounds amazing! We got the library bus at our school too, which was a bit funny since the school is about a ten minute walk from the main library, And we did have some reading challenges and kept reading diaries, but that's about it.
I find nothing weirder than people who have bookshelves and actually have everything but books in them. I too love beautiful volumes (Vintage does some gorgeous ones) and a few times I've paid more for a book just to have a prettier cover on it. And hahahaa, don't get me started on how careful I'm with my books. If I let you borrow one of mine it means I really trust you.
