Welcome to Litsy!

@Soubhiville thanks so much for the #authoramonth winners box! I‘ve been looking forward to the Nicole Chung and Stephen Graham Jones (and have an excuse to read them sooner now having physical copies) - and the rest will be read in their appropriate months later this year. Much appreciated, friend! 🥰📚📬💕

It‘s always a good day when we get to discuss Judy Blume on my podcast! On Episode 133, her 1971 coming of age novel Then Again, Maybe I Won‘t takes center stage — and I was lucky enough to chat about it in detail with middle grade and YA author Jen Calonita. We talk about our experiences reading this male puberty narrative, as well as sex ed, mental health, bad behavior + so much more. Plus there‘s Judy Blume fangirling! Link to listen in my bio!

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 book was a fast read, but it was a good one I guess. I love Judy Blume‘s technique of writing these kinds of books, so all I have to say is the book has a very realistic feel. Although Judy Blume normally writes for about 4th grade and up, I recommend this to children in middle school, because it has some sexual references and cuss words in it. I love how this book contains all things that a child could relate to emotionally.
