OMG I remember Forever making me . I thought it was okay to read at my age! I thought Judy Blume was for kids!

I LIVED for Are You There God, it's Me, Margaret. I think I read it 8 times. My sisters were older and I remember them reading it- and they had a discussion with my mom about menstruating- I walked in, and I wanted to know what getting your period meant. My sisters didn't want to tell me the truth so they said 'It's when you get a red dot in the mail.' Are they cruel or what?

I also lived for VC Andrews books! Talk about DIRTY! All that incest!

ME!!!

I read all the Babysitter's Club Books (and still remember that Stacy had diabetes and the meetings were at Claudia's house and Mallory (I think) had 6 siblings or something, so they always sent 2 sitters to their house....)

When I was younger, I loved all the Berenstein Bears books.

I also used to read all the Lurlene McDaniels books. They were all about kids with terminal illnesses. I would sob through them, but they were so good!
