Teenage Millennial Memories Unlocked 🗝️
Allow me to set the scene:
It’s 2 AM on a school night but you only have 100 pages left. You will power through. Forget the math test you have first period. This is your priority. And you must know how the book ends.
I don’t know what sort of millennial catnip these 2000s YA authors put in these books, but let me tell you, my “baby millennial” self was addicted.

Millennial Nostalgic Reads
Bring on those Gen Y memories! A list of books likely to give people born between 1981 and 1996 a lot of feelings.
This list is for those of us who grew up eagerly awaiting the Scholastic Book Fair, watching Reading Rainbow (or Wishbone!), and dreaming of a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.
Note: these are not books published in 1981-1996, but books that had a hold on the millennial generation.
Also check out the Dear America series, American Girl series & Royal Diaries series.

childhood/teen nostalgia picks (honorable mentions)
books i knew at the very least in my childhood or around my middle/high school days. they are books that i had been in the know and have wanted to finish or read (but also maybe didn't take an interest in finishing it) as a kid (or at least growing up). i have plans to make this a sub backlog series even though nowadays i dont know if i really do want to read some of these books.
