Superflirt | Helen Cavanaugh

@keys_on_fire Exhibit A.

Maybe not the same guy, but close!

(Looks like I might but hopping aboard the #paperbackcrush train soon. I have a soft spot for these books, even if they are dreck 😆)

keys_on_fire Maybe!! I‘m sure they reused models A LOT! 😂 16h

keys_on_fire Have you read PaperBack Crush? I‘ve read through so many that were mentioned but still have quite a few to go!

Paperback Crush: The Totally Radical History of '80s and '90s Teen Fiction

(edited) 16h

Sace @keys_on_fire I have! It was a while ago though and lately I‘ve been considering going back and rereading it. These books are comfort reads for me. (edited) 16h

Sace @keys_on_fire and if you haven‘t read it yet I recommend

Dreams can come true

16h

Sace @keys_on_fire oh and

I'm Christy

16h

keys_on_fire I created a shelf on Goodreads for all the books (plus a few from series that I liked that I wanted to read all). If you ever want to try to read as many as possible like I am, I‘d be happy to become friends there too…assuming you use it as well. 16h

keys_on_fire Maybe someday I‘ll get ambitious and creat a storygraph challenge! 16h

Sace @keys_on_fire I‘m only on The StoryGraph and here but my summer vacation is starting soon and I‘d gladly join you in reading and sharing! 16h

Funny Girl Like Me | Jan O'Donnell

pick

I will probably keep this book just because Lori Loughlin is on the cover! 🤣 #FullHouse

Another #paperbackcrush selection, and this one was pretty fun. It‘s so interesting to read these 80‘s YA that I never read. They seem harder to read than things from the time that I did, even though I know SVH and BSC have those moments too. Amazing what nostalgia adds to a read!

Sing about Us | Winifred Madison

Another #paperbackcrush book and my #bookspin for April. I did not like this one. It was cringy all the way through. I remember being at odds with friends over boys, but this guy was a jerk! The only reason I finished it was because it was so short.

@TheAromaofBooks

Sace That dude looks like the guy on the cover of Superflirt too! 16h

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 5h

If This Is Love, I'll Take Spaghetti | Ellen Conford

pick

Read this as part of the readathon a couple of weeks ago. I‘d call this a soft pick. It‘s a collection of short stories about love and life in high school. The book benefits from the stories being short, as the book on the whole hasn‘t aged well. Mostly fun, a little squirmy 😂

MaureenMc I owned this book as a tween. 😄 23h

BarbaraJean Hahaha—I remember reading Ellen Conford as a tween/teen! Also: I have that same bookmark 😁🌮 22h

keys_on_fire @barbarajean Haha awesome! 🌮 16h

April's Rainbow | Cathryn Hein

My #bookspin list and #bookspinbingo board are ready! Although, my eggs don‘t look very egg-like 🤣

Picked a lot of quick reads since #deweys24hour readathon is happening at the end of the month, and hopefully that will help me further along with my reread of SVH for my #paperbackcrush challenge. Looking forward to a fun month!

@TheAromaofBooks - sorry to blow you up with all these posts! 😂

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!!! I love your layout! Are you planning to decorate the eggs as you read them?? 2y

keys_on_fire Thank you! Yes, I‘m gonna to put the numbers in the corner of the boxes and decorate the eggs as I read them. It‘s kinda like a bingo and an ester egg hunt all at the same time! 2y

Read this because it was mentioned in #paperbackcrush

This is a very quick read. I read a lot of YA, but this just seemed very juvenile. The way the characters interact reminded me of the Dick and Jane readers. People just don‘t talk the way these people do. There are 2 more books in the series, and I own them, but I don‘t know if I‘ll be reading them. 😕

Hard Choices | Francine Pascal, Kate William

so-so

Another book down for #jubilantjuly, #paperbackcrush and #MtTBR2020
This one was not my fave. Enid and her entire family were just whiny and mean to each other. Sure, it happens in real life, but in a world that is so unrealistic, the bad things are just so amplified 😝😆
What saved this was the subplot of Elizabeth filming a SV documentary.
