I LOVED this book, but I don't feel like I can give it 5⭐️ because it is for such a randomly specific group of people -women who were born between about 1972-1982 & read a lot as kids. That's it. I'm in that group, & it is perfection for me. I get to read a bunch of essays about YA books from when I was a kid, 80% of which I have already read approximately 36 times each. It was like getting together with a group of my friends and waxing nostalgic.

Blaire This sounds like a book made for me. #stacked. Along this line you‘d probably also enjoy 5y
Krisjericho @Blaire That looks great! 5y

UK Littens, I request your advice! I'm looking for a VFM slot shelf system. Anyone have any experience of purchasing/fitting/using this type of shelving?

One of six bookshelves in my house. My husband will put one together begrudgingly, but he will anytime I ask. He is a keeper. Most of the books on the shelf have not been read. For me it‘s like the feeling of 10-year-old gets sitting next to a Christmas tree full of wrapped packages each one a wonderful present, yet to be discovered! #bookcollector #prettybooks #toberead

This delightful book of essays covers a ton of teen books from the 70s and 80s. Spoilers abound, but I don‘t mind— if I hadn‘t already picked up that particular Lois Duncan, I doubt I will in the future. I‘m binging on these right now, but I may save the second half of the book to dip in and out of later, since these make great comfort reads.

AlaMich As a child of the late 70s and 80s, this book sounds awesome! 😊 5y

My parents gave me a shelf and told me to do something fun with it. They bought it at an antique shop and I believe it was a product display. I put books on it of course. It‘s not perfect but it will do. #shelfie

Since I haven't been home a lot recently I haven't gotten the chance to take a #shelfie so I took this one yesterday at my girlfriends aunts house. Her cousin is an avid reader so I knew I could get a good shot #marchinbooks #green #readingresolutions

A #shelfie of most of my doublestacked TBR shelves. At a low guesstimate, I have at least 340 books waiting to be read. Is that a lot?😋 #24in48 #readathon

Gayan 🙋🏻I have about 500. Three huge shelves and a small one, plus many more kindle books. 7y
TrishB Phew....glad I'm not alone... 7y
Lizpixie @Gayan I forgot about the books on my kobo. At last count I have about 3,000 books on there. Expandable memory is a blessing and a curse! 7y

My room is too small to back up & get a decent photo, but I do love this pair of bookcases that my dad made for me a few years ago. Now if I could just persuade him to make me a window seat!

This is such a fun book--it brought back to mind the many teenage books I adored. It was so interesting to remember how intently I made those books part of my (secret) emotional life. I read with distance now but some of these are woven into my personality.

Laura317 Oh yes! I can relate to that. 7y
Kleonard This one sounds great! 7y
balletbookworm Such a fun book. Skurnick started an imprint to bring back many of those books since they were out of print - the imprint recently closed, unfortunately, but it was nice to see some of these back out on the shelves. 7y
ApoptyGina69 I bought this a while ago. I'd better get started on it soon. I love me some teen classics! 7y

Just found this book, a "reading memoir" about "The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading," in my old room at my mom's. I'd forgotten about it! (It even has a Borders sticker -- nostalgia!)

WanderingBookaneer Bring it home! 8y
gibblr Yeah, bring it home! 😊 8y
Nancethepants I moderated a panel with her one year at the Baltimore Book Festival. Super warm and funny, but she didn't understand my love of Christopher Pike at all! 8y
