This book was wonderful. Reading it I felt so nostalgic because it had a message almost all of us could relate to. The struggle of fitting in and being included in the “popular” group is a very real one and I think it was portrayed beautifully in this book. #stargirl #realisticfiction

monalyisha We had framed book (& music) quotes on the tables at our wedding, & one of them was from “Stargirl”: “She was bendable light: she shone around every corner of my day.” 7y

Sresendez12 I went through a Jerry Spinelli phase when I was younger and read almost all of his books back to back. I‘m headed to the library this afternoon and plan to pick up one or two of his books! 7y

It's been awhile since I've listened to an audiobook. It makes perfect sense that I should, seeing that I have a long commute. I guess it's because I never really liked being read to. I've always preferred reading to myself. Anyone else like that? At any rate, this one is narrated by John Ritter. It's weird to hear his voice after all this time.:( Who are some of your favorite audiobook narrators? #stargirl #jerryspinelli #audiobook

Ms_T I've just acquired my first audiobook to give 'being read to' a go 😀 8y

ReadingEnvy I like Bronson Pinchot. Colin Firth is amazing but I think has only read one. James Marsters (Spike from Buffy!) reads the Dresden Files and is perfect for that. 8y

sprainedbrain I ❤️ audiobooks! I second @ReadingEnvy with Bronson Pinchot. I also love Simon Vance, Scott Brick, Caroline Lee, Jim Dale, and Juliet Stevenson. 8y

Purrfectpages Which book did you get @Ms_T? @ReadingEnvy @sprainedbrain I didn't know Bronson Pinchot was known for his audio book narrations. What are some of the titles he's done? 7y

ReadingEnvy @Purrfectpages I first heard him with some Patricia Highsmith stories but he also did the second of the Southern Reach trilogy. And a bunch of.others I haven't heard. 7y

sprainedbrain @Purrfectpages there are more than 20 selections narrated by him on Audible! My first of his was

The Anubis Gates

Purrfectpages I actually don't subscribe to Audible. I just got Stargirl from the library @sprainedbrain lol 7y

Purrfectpages @ReadingEnvy audiobooks are like a whole new world! 7y

sprainedbrain @Purrfectpages You can still search their store by narrator. I do that sometimes and put them on my overdrive hold list. 😉 7y

Purrfectpages I did not know that @sprainedbrain. Thanks! 7y

sprainedbrain @Purrfectpages I am such a cheater! I also like to read the reviews on Audible store so I know if the audio is good, even if I don't end up getting the book through Audible. 😂 7y

Purrfectpages @sprainedbrain I actually think that's smart! 7y

Ms_T @Purrfectpages A friend gifted me Touch by Claire North which has some great reviews. I'm looking forward to listening to it 😀

Mariposa_Bookworm Audiobooks are not my favorite but they are growing on me. I'd definitely listen to this one read by John Ritter. He was one of my faves. I loved him as the voice of Clifford the Big Red Dog, too. 7y

Purrfectpages @Mariposa_Bookworm I miss John Ritter, too.:( 7y

Just finished reading this latest school book club selection with my daughter. I may have enjoyed this nuanced, bittersweet story more than she did. #Stargirl #readingtogether
