So I am about to start the #sequel to the book I absolutely fell in love....maybe it‘s the #graphicartist in me who thinks the cover #art is breathtaking or the fact that I grew up with #redhair and #freckles or maybe it‘s because it is my #bookspin book for #bingo this month. #LitsyLove

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It is beautiful ❤️❤️ 3y

britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Such a clever name and cute mascot. The store is less than a year old. I sure hope it‘s around for many, many years to come. 4y
Hooked_on_books The fact that they have the boldness to open during a pandemic is a really good sign! 4y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Good point, and I agree! She‘s a former elementary school librarian and this bookshop is her dream. 💚 4y

After this book was an answer on Jeopardy the other night, I decided to give it a re-read as I couldn‘t remember the ins and outs. A quick read that teaches children the lesson of being happy with who you are and not trying to change yourself.

I don't remember reading this as a kid so I thought I'd give it a go. The lesson here is to love what you've got/how you look. My take away as an adult is to not eat weird concoctions suggested by your peers. The artwork is cute but I wanted a little bit more here than what we got. About 🌟🌟🌟.
Since Icefall was aimed at the higher middle grade, this balanced it out appealing to lower middle grade & below. #MiddleGradeMarch @sblbooks @megnews

megnews What I can remember from this book was: why do you want to get rid of your freckles so badly? Why would you drink that concoction? 🤮 This wasn‘t a Judy Blume I loved as a kid. As my daughter once said about her younger brother: “His freckles are one of his greatest assets.” 😂 (edited) 5y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @megnews That's funny! Actually this kid Andrew WANTS freckles and ends up drinking a concoction from his frenemy Sharon. Which means they clearly married, had 2.5 children, went through a bitter divorce, and now he's trying to win back his adult children's affection while Sharon is a cougar with a pushover new husband. 🤣🤣 5y
megnews I‘ve obviously forgotten! It‘s been so long. 5y

This was never my favorite Judy Blume book, but I still read it about 50 times when I was a kid, so it was fun to revisit it with my kids. I did forget that he uses a blue marker when the freckle juice doesn‘t work. You know, because he couldn‘t find brown. 😂

The fiancé is napping, so I‘ve been able to tear through a decent amount of my #ThrowbackReadathon books this evening. I really enjoyed this reread, and I can definitely say that I still love this book wholeheartedly.
One thing that I didn‘t remember from reading this book as a child, was William‘s reason for wanting freckles in the first place... He wanted so many freckles so they would hide the dirt, and his mom wouldn‘t make him wash. ???

Clwojick Also, who remembers doing this as a child? Plug that nose if you don‘t like the taste. 😂😂 7y

Once again, I love all the illustrations in this one. Maybe I‘m just said that most of my “adult” books don‘t have illustrations in them. 😫 I think all books should come with a picture or two. 😉 #ThrowbackReadathon

monalyisha I concur! Great illustration! 7y
Asthecroweflies I agree. 7y
