#throwbackthursday

This Is All | Aidan Chambers

I'm curious to know what everyone's most impactful life changing books were and how they changed you. #throwbackthursday

thebacklistbook Mine was the tagged. It hit me like a freight train. I didn't see it coming at all. It completely changed the way that I navigate relationships. I enjoy people fornthe time that I get with them. I am also completely unafraid of moving on from those that don't reciprocate or are one sided. 3mo
BookmarkTavern I feel like the tagged short story rewrote my brain chemistry. It made me examine myself at a level I wasn‘t really expecting as a high school student. I reread it every year. 3mo

I always enjoy reliving my high school years with Sweet Valley High.

All the troubles that seemed so important then are so well captured in this story.

Carrie's War | Nina Bawden

This a vintage children‘s book set in World War Two. It's an amazing story of evacuation, resilience and how we sometimes let the ghost of the past remain with us.

Jennings never misses a chance for mischief at his boarding school. How can one boy get into so much trouble?

Royalty is making friends with Joey and her buddies, but she isn't spoiled by the experience. Lots of action, too.

Darrell arrives at the school and has to learn to fit in. A common theme in boarding-school stories, but Darrell is fundamentally likeable. Enjoyed this very much.

I was reading this Goosebumps classic in a treehouse my dad built. A storm was brewing, and I read a line, something along the lines of 'he opened door and was hit with a blast of stale air' just as a gust of wind shook the tree house. I promptly closed the book and ran inside 😆 #throwbackthursday

I haven't read this one before but the look on that cat's face has got me bumping it up on the old TBR.😸 I believe this edition is from 1970.
