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.

One of my favorite books, which I really need to buy someday is "The View From Saturday". Also, I still own my copy of the Wayside School books.

hell yeah trivia teams. I liked her The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler better, though.... I would totally buy the Wayside School books if I ever saw them in stores. 8| I don't think I ever owned my own copies, but I always loved them. And they had really good messages for kids, too!

I know. Mine are pretty beat up. May have to get new ones. Did you ever see the fail cartoon they made from them a year or two ago?

YES. My sister and I tried to watch it to mock it once, but it was just too painful. Books like that just... don't translate well to screen, haha.

Seriously. And I just feel they missed the whole point of the books.

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.
