Recs if you like Among the Hidden (Shadow Children, #1)...

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

Books of the millennial reader's childhood (not just scholastic book fair). Sticking with chapter books, and not picture books :) All books pre-2005 Taking recs!

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

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.

I love YA. It can suck pretty bad when the books try to copy each other. But when some of those gems pop up...wowza! Who knew you could tell such a hard-hitting story without having to resort to 1,000 pages & sex?

the library books you probably read to score that Book-It personal pan pizza

the books you read during recess instead of playing kickball

Let’s return to simpler times, where some of the best and most impactful stories can be found.

Most popular or most read books for young adults or middle grade.

Only the first book of a series will be added.

books to get you shivering your timbers about the state of the world

All of the books in this list were either read when I was a kid, or gave that comforting nostalgic feeling when reading it as an adult.

Aren’t you glad that we’re never too old for a whimsical read?
