CBee Waldenbooks!!!! You just brought back some amazing memories over here 💚 2w
JenlovesJT47 @CBee can‘t you smell it! I miss the malls of the 90s ♥️♥️♥️ 2w
CBee @JenlovesJT47 yes! And same! 2w
TorieStorieS Ahhh, I love this!!! I miss Waldenbooks, B Dalton, Crown Books & Borders!! 2w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yes!! I also used to get quite a lot of them at Walmart. That was the place to get the new ones, and Waldenbooks was the place to find the earlier books. I used to love going to the library with my grandma because they had so many displays of Sweet Valley books! 2w
TorieStorieS I would also get them from Venture (kind of like a Walmart that was closer to where we lived)! And one year, my dad and I went to Hawaii and it rained so much on Maui that we bought an extra suitcase for all the Sweet Valley books I bought!! 🤣 2w
TorieStorieS Somewhere, there‘s a picture of me standing next to the stack, and it was almost as tall as me! But I have never been tall, so it‘s not as many as it sounds! 🤣 2w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS that‘s so awesome! 😅 Did you see Princess Keiko when you were there?! 🤣 I just recently read The Unicorns Go Hawaiian and it‘s hilarious! 🦄🌺 2w
TorieStorieS Hahaha!! No, but I feel like I may have read it while I was there! 🤣 That is a fun one!! 2w

Sorry 'bout that, Mom.

Watching this remake of #chroniclesofnarnia I always thought it was a pretty good representation, and the level of sass is on point! What do you think?

Remembering Fred Rogers on the twentieth anniversary of his passing. He was such an integral part of my childhood - one of my first teachers. It‘s because of public television like Mister Rogers‘ Neighborhood, Sesame Street, and Reading Rainbow that I became a voracious reader.

Thank you, Mister Rogers, for creating a space safe for children to learn and imagine. It‘s you we like.

CBee My mom always said I learned to read from Sesame Street. And will always be thankful to and for Mr. Rogers ♥️♥️ 3y
AnnR ♥️🤗 As a TV personality/role model for children, his gentle demeanor and kindness are greatly missed. There is no substitute. 3y
Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ 3y

dabbe Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, and [Hey, you guuuuuuyyyyyssss] The Electric Company ... a Gen X-ers childhood. Oh, and don't forget Schoolhouse Rock! #childhoodmemories ❣️ 3y
ElizaMarie I absolutely love Mr. Rogers. I really felt we (or I) needed him at the start of the pandemic. He made everyone feels so calm and just heard. The movies about him are total tear jerkers! I just love love love him (and Grover and Reading Rainbow). 3y
Dragon Love Mr Rogers and King Friday 💚🐉 3y

Started the year with an old childhood favorite.

It‘s been nice to remember the books I loved before I was really into reading.

Amiable Oh, I loved these books so much when I was a kid. 🥰 5y
Skyrimir I‘ve always loved these covers. Mine are falling apart, but I refuse to get newer editions! 5y
TiminCalifornia @Amiable @Skyrimir Same here. These were great. The Swiftly Tilting Planet cover sure has that early ‘80s vibe going. It‘s dated like me! 5y
CornerLibrarian I am always amazed that she was 41 when this book was published and had been turned down so many times by publishers! 5y
Amiable @TiminCalifornia I‘m pretty sure I still my ‘80s-era copy that has that exact cover! 😀 5y

Judy Blume. Funny these are still on my shelves. I actually didn‘t like Otherwise Known As Sheila the Great. Then Again Maybe I Won‘t left me confused and angry. Took me a long time to figure out why.

This thin pamphlet must have been a novelty gift from the Milwaukee Optical Manufacturing Company decades ago. There are no author or picture credits. As a child I loved looking at the pictures and reading other countries‘ Christmas traditions.
