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.

We may have nothing but lollies in common. Which is more than enough, of course.

THE SHINY COLOURS ARE OVERLOADING MY BRAIN.

You are wise, my new friend.

I USUALLY HANG AROUND MY OWN JOURNAL FOR MY DOSE OF SHINY BUT THIS PLACE IS JUST AS GREAT. 8D
