BooksTeasAndBookishThings I remember reading this for AR in school and it had JUST been taken out of the school because it was too controversial for elementary school kids. So, after I read it and went to take the quiz (for maybe 10 points) and it said it wasn‘t available, my teacher just asked me a few questions and gave me a 100 and told me not to tell other students about it, even though she thought it was important for kids to read. 6y
Melissa_J I remember that book well. 6y
MrBook The '70s?! Wooow, that makes you 🤔...39! 😁😇 6y
Gayan This book! And Sally J Freedman! 6y
AlaMich I had a Judy Blume boxed set. That‘s right, I was one of the cool kids!! 😎🤣🤣 6y
AlaMich And also, I love your orange phone. On my last visit out west to see my dad, I discovered that he still had the sky blue princess rotary phone from my childhood. I shipped that baby right back to my house! 6y
MaureenMc 😍 6y
Melkyl 70s flashback - I love it! 6y
Chrissyreadit We must, we must, we must increase our busts.... 6y
Chrissyreadit Because of Forever my parents rescinded my adult sticker on my library card. How was I supposed to know not ask my mom about sex? 6y
bookish_wookish That phone!! 😍 6y
Cinfhen Omg!!! Both the orange phone and your copy of Judy Blume 🙌🏻💕😀 6y
LeahBergen @TrishB @mabell Thanks! 😄 6y
LeahBergen @LauraBeth And Blubber and Deenie? 😆 6y
LeahBergen @BooksTeasAndBookishThings That‘s crazy! We passed this book around over and over in Grade 5 (there was only one copy in our school library) and I just can‘t imagine not being able to read it back then. It was such a formative part of our childhood in my circle. 6y
LeahBergen @Melissa_J Right? 😆 6y
LeahBergen @MrBook 38, actually. Quit adding years to my age. 😂😂 6y
LeahBergen @Gayan Yes! 👍🏻 6y
LeahBergen @AlaMich I had the pink Princess phone in my room (and wish I still had it! 😂) 6y
LeahBergen @MaureenMc @Melwilk @bookish_wookish Thanks! 😆 6y
LeahBergen @Chrissyreadit I‘ll never forget that chant! 😂😂 And yes, Forever was definitely a “teen read” - it was so shocking in its day. We were obsessed with it. 😂 6y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen 😂😂 This book made a Canadian girl want to be Jewish and live in New York (or Jersey). 6y
Chrissyreadit @LauraBeth Paula Danziger! 6y
batsy Love this cover. 6y
AlaMich @Chrissyreadit 😂😂😂 6y
RohitSawant Awesome picture! 6y
mrp27 I had the exact phone in my room but blue. 6y
LivingReflections Love the phone. Wish I had my copy of this book still! 6y
merelybookish I was reading this in the (early) 80s! 😉 But the same cover. This book is really magical. I've often wanted to re-read it but never have. I don't want to destroy the power it had in my 10 year-old life. And, Forever was totes for sleepovers. 6y
UwannaPublishme This photo brings back so many memories. 😁 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings I know, it was a great book for my 4th grade self. But, they just thought it was too much 🙄 6y
LitsyOwl Yes. A 70s must have. My friends and I passed it around 🦉📚 6y
LauraBeth @Leahbergen and @Chrissyreadit Blubber and Deenie! 🙌🙌 I thought for years that I had scoliosis 😂 and I was convinced I could actually sue my parents for malpractice. And every thing I learned about sex came from Forever 🤔😬😂 Here‘s to being a lifelong reader and to growing up in the 70s and 80s reading great books that helped shape us. 6y
Chrissyreadit @LauraBeth 👏🙌🙌🙌 6y
AlaMich @LauraBeth 🙌🙌 And here‘s to stifling my laughter every time I hear that there‘s a student named Ralph at my wife‘s school! 🤣🤣🤣 6y
LauraBeth @AlaMich Ralph! 😂😂 6y
LeahBergen @batsy I do, too. 😄 6y
LeahBergen @rohit-sawant Thanks! ❤️ 6y
LeahBergen @mrp27 😆 I had to “teach” my nephew how to use this phone and he laughed and laughed over how long it took to dial a number. 😂 6y
LeahBergen @LivingReflections They‘re both classics. 😆 6y
LeahBergen @merelybookish I know! I peeked into it a bit and read a few parts. 6y

AlaMich @LeahBergen 😩 about the rotary phone 👵🏻 6y
Sace Ohhhh. I want to go back and read that. 6y
Chrissyreadit @LeahBergen I totally forgot til you posted! I thought all boys named their penis...probably another question I should not have asked my mom. 6th grade and Catholic. I still remember her look of horror! 6y
LeahBergen @EvieBee 😘 6y
LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola Right? We were all transfixed in my little group of friends. 😆 6y
LeahBergen @RestlessFickleBookHoarder I think I will! 👍🏻 6y
