1 Margaret Peterson Haddix, Jennifer A Neilsen; Historical Fiction

2. Hanging out at the local movie theater. Going to the lake; swimming and riding on our speed boat.📽🏊🚤

3 Yes! We had a traffic light hooked up in our lunch room. If the light was red there was no talking during lunch. During 5th and 6th grade it was red 99% of the time.🚦🙄🤐

4 The tagged book had lots of great reviews!

Oh, this is going to date me!

1. I loved reading. I begged to go to the library.
2. Beverly Hillbillies, Saturday Night at the Movies—this was long before cable, much less Netflix.
3. The Kennedy assassination
4. Tagged was first of a series I remember, but, other than this series, Nancy Drew, and of course Little Women, it‘s too long ago to remember many.

8little_paws I am younger than you are (My middle grade years were dominated by grunge and the Rodney King riots) but isn't it wild to think about how back in my generation, and your generation, there wasn't really much of a “middle grade“ or “young adult“ genre of books? From what I recall it was basically “kids books“ and “adult books“. 4y
Lynnsoprano @8little_paws The children‘s room at our local library (which was in the basement) had a shelf that was essentially YA, and I wish I could recall what it was labeled. But there was no such thing as middle grade. We went to junior high for 7 to 9, before going to the senior high our sophomore year. 4y
sblbooks Thanks for playing! 4y
8little_paws @lynnsoprano you're the only other person I've met that went to high school for just 3 years instead of 4! Where I live currently the kids generally go to a k-8 school then high school from 9-12. Sometimes it's split k-6 and then a different school for 7-8 but mostly k-8. 4y
