Outsiders | 
pickI have read and re-read this book and can say that it will always be a favorite. My own copy has definitely seen better days but the love I hold for this book is deep. I think everyone should read this book at least once in their lives and then stop to think about the message the author was trying to convey.
pickIt looks a bit worn because it has been used a lot in our school - I never did so far, but I definitely will. I really liked this coming off age story and it doesn‘t feel like being old at all. I really like the way of fast-paced writing and enjoyed the somewhat hardened character of Cherry very much. She‘s definitely seen it all. 💪💪💪
Reading The Outsiders for the first time because we have a class set in school. It seems somewhat familiar even thogh I never read or watched it. Reminds me of all those underdog 80ies movies. 😊
pickReading the second half of The Outsiders by S. E Hinton was an emotional rollercoaster. In the first half of the novel, we are introduced to the characters and their characteristics, as well as the outrageous rivalry between the Greasers and the Socs. However, the second half of the book is an entirely different book. the excitement of the book constantly left me transfixed, as the more I read the book, the more engaged I felt.
The Outsiders by SE Hinton is a superb book choice for practically anyone, and you can almost entirely guarantee they will enjoy it. This book is written In the first person perspective, where we see the view of the main character, Ponyboy living in a rough neighbourhood where the greasers and Socs have a teeth-gritting rivalry. Those who enjoy non-fiction drama, realistic fiction, or social issues books will find The Outsiders a perfect match.
Adding the tagged book to my list after seeing it on this banned books display at a local store.

1. My grandma passed away in 2021 so I have her crochet threads and hooks and I have her jewelry box too. I‘m trying to figure out what else to crochet with the thread. She used to crochet doilies but I want to do something different. I did crochet some tassels for some bookmarks I made.
2. Tagged! I enjoyed this book. I liked the friend group in here. My mom told me that the movie is really good but I haven‘t seen it.

pickJust finished a road trip with my husband and 15yo son. We listened to this, one of my favourite teenage reads. Our son really liked it & now we‘re trying to source the movie ❤️🙏💯.
And I finally began like this: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home . . .

pickamazing really let me see how messed up our society is but this book is so raw i love it so much its in my top favs
so-soFirst time reading The Outsiders and I‘m conflicted. At times, the fact that Hinton was 14 (or 15 depending on your sources) when she wrote the original draft works to its advantage.
At other times, Hinton‘s lack of experience is evident and it pulled me from the story in a big way.
Still, I liked it for the most part. I do question, though, that if it hadn‘t basically made the YA genre would it be as pertinent and beloved today?
What a fabulous #litsyfoundfamilyswap! Thank you so much Alexus! The books look like fun reads& of corse all the snacks have me all set up for reading sessions! You did a great job sussing me out!
pickAnother modern classic. This book always reminds me of my dad and his brothers. I can see why so many middle schoolers love this book bc it deals with (very sensitively and lowkey subtly) living in circumstances that you want to rise above. Even tho it‘s sad as shit I think this book makes middle schoolers more sensitive
pickLast read of 2023! Technically it was a reread but it‘s been a few years. Still good, still made me cry. #publishedbeforeyouwereborn (1967, I believe, I was born in 70). #rushathonchristmaschallenge @Andrew65

The first thing I thought of for today‘s prompt. 💛

pickThis is my new favorite book, so raw and really made me take a look at how messed up society is and I have begun looking at the world and people in general with a new view. Love it so much and for once the movie was almost exactly the same as the book which made me happy. Also Dally is the best character by far.
1. This week.
2. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton always says school setting to me because my 7th grade teacher read this to us in 1972, bleeping out the bad words. 😄❤️

I believe this is the fourth time I‘ve read this book. I finally got my own copy. I loved it as much as the first time, many years ago in junior high. Now to watch the movie again.
pickWow, I just finished this book yesterday, and it was probably one of the best books I have read this year. This book shows the constant battle between the Socials, the higher class, and the Greasers, the lower class, in the 1960s through the eyes of a 14 year old “Greaser” named Ponyboy. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author!

This might end up as one of my new favorite books. The characters are entertaining and feel incredibly real. Their relationships with each other make you want to root for them, and the end is absolutely heartbreaking.
pickThe outsiders is a book about a 14 year old boy named pony boy. It talks about his struggles with the right and wrong and society, and he happens to believe that he is an outsider he is in a gang called the greasers, and they have a problem with the socs I really liked this book because it was fun to read and easy to understand it tells a good story as well The main theme of the outsiders is identity versus group identity.
pickThe Outsiders is one of those books that everyone should read at least once in their life. It can truly resonate with any generation.
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.

pickRead with my middle school son for the first time. Very classic. Loved every minute. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“ Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold.” One of my all time favorite books and seasons.
I‘m Getting into the fall mood even though it‘s still in the 90‘s here in the Alabama beaches. Beautiful day!
I celebrated by making a new front door wreath and adding a little fall decor to my bike and window frame display. I thought about adding a fake book and may do that next. What do you think?
From The Oklahoman, a partial list of books that are banned or could be banned in the state of OK. And also they got Harper Lee's name wrong. Sometimes, I hate it here.

Looking forward to a great reading month! Thank you for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks

Today's pick is a classic: The Outsiders. I read this in middle school and loved it. I'm so happy my daughters have read this too. 😊
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickThis is one of my favorite books and I‘ve never listened to the audio version, so I decided to rectify that. I‘ve lost count of how many times I‘ve now read this book!

"Of all of us, Dally was the one I liked least. He didn't have Soda's understanding or dash, or Two Bit's humor, or even Darry's superman qualities. But I realized that these three appealed to me because they were like the heroes in the novels I read. Dally was real. I liked my books and clouds and sunsets. Dally was so real he scared me."
Listened to this on our way to Nashville and we are finishing it up on our way back….
