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.

I bought this new in 1981 for $0.49 and have read it nearly every year since.

This is the book that made me want to live in a city. Also I remembered the acronym ISAAC forever. The Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club.

First epistolary and to this day I don‘t think I have read a book comprised of letters or journals I didn‘t like. Even if the premise doesn‘t sound particularly interesting, I‘ll add an epistolary novel to my TBR stack!

In one story a boy wins a horse in a contest and takes it to live in his city apartment. At 7 years old I tried to use this to counter Mom‘s assertions that a horse is “too expensive” and we “don‘t have a place to keep a horse”.

Read these books countless times as evidenced by their tattered covers. Probably my first realization that I can utterly escape into a book, live with characters in another world. The Great Brain at the Academy was my favorite of the series. #childhoodmemories is my #decembermonthlymotif

More books that made their way from Mom‘s bookshelf to mine. These were DNF for me. I tried more than once but they never held my interest. #childhoodmemories is my #decembermonthlymotif
