pickGreat pick for #WithTheBanned @Jadams89
This was my first time reading Perks. I watched the movie many years ago and pretty much just remembered the scene pictured above.
Difficult topics dealt with respectively and with hope.
I hopped on the BannedWagon this month with @Jadams89 and crew to revisit one of the most important books in my own personal journey. If I read it for the first time now, I'm sure I'd think it's a perfectly fine coming-of age-story. But I read it as a teenager and so have no objectivity whatsoever; I still find it close to perfect. I'd never read anything at that age which captured in words the feelings I always thought were inexpressible. ⬇️⬇️
pickFinished this yesterday morning before our family hike/picnic.
This was one of the most honest, straight-forward, heart warming coming of age stories I ever read.

pickI‘m so happy I reread this one. It is just so good. I‘ve never watched the movie. My daughter told me she hasn‘t read the book or seen the movie. We plan on reading it together this summer & watching the movie afterwards. #raisingreaders #readbannedbooks

pickThis book was delightful! Oh to be young and silly again and have your whole life ahead of you! And who doesn‘t want to live in a castle with an eccentric family surrounded by nature?!?!?!? I found a lot of this book to be amusing but especially the shenanigans on the train! Hilarious! 💙💙💙💙💙
pickFor a while I was reading it and was not really into it, Charlie being more of an observer than participant in his own life resonated with how I‘d felt in my life at times but I didn‘t really see where it was going & the ending came & blew me away completely not what I expected. The 20th anniversary afterword was cute.
Excited for the discussion #withthebanned

1. I think I would consider myself a bibliophile. I may not read as quickly or as much as other bibliophiles but I love the act of reading and my house is overflowing with books.
2. Francie Nolan is my favorite bibliophile.
