Why are like half my favorite books kids' books.

Mrs. McGlinchey: "I can pronounce it 'sell-see-us' instead of 'sell-shuss'-- I just don't want to!"

Every Day and All the Time by Sis Deans is one of my favorite books ever. I'm SO glad I bought it to re-read; I like it even more than Barbara Park's Mick Harte Was Here (which deals with the same sort of issue, and has been a favorite of mine since I was nine or so). It'd definitely going on my list of books that I need revisit at least every couple of years or so. In a way, it's a good thing that a lot of the books on that list are short and easy reads-- I like being able to marathon my way through four Bruce Coville books in one day, or spend a weekend reading Hilary McKay's books about the Cassons (... or just read Indigo's Star and Permanent Rose over and over and over again; that works, too).

TL;DR: I AM NINETEEN YEARS OLD AND I BUY MOST OF MY BOOKS FROM THE CHILDREN'S SECTION.

... I can read adult literature when I want to, I swear.

I miss playing pretend games in my backyard. XD

They just made it into a boring slice-of-life cartoon that had absolutely no spark to it. :\ RECESS DID IT SO MUCH BETTER OKAY; WAYSIDE SCHOOL SHOULD JUST KEEP ON BEING A BOOK AND ONLY A BOOK.

Exactly! Everything was supposed to be SUPER CRAZY and WEIRD. Not...oh, school is tough.
