Recs if you like Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus...

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!

the name’s Bond. Alexz Bond. 😂

always taking suggestions for books with a full name in the title.

it’s vaguely the 2010’s. the walls are painted a garish shade of purple, littlest pet shop pets line the walls, and everything smells like a jolly watermelon smencil.

these are the books that I remember from a childhood spent reading voraciously. the nostalgia is baked in.

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.

Classic novels for your (inner) child, with some modern staples in the mix. For reading yourself, reading aloud to little ones, and for those learning to read. Suggestions welcome, as always!

books that remind me of my Gen Z childhood, not necessarily books published 1997-2012. i haven’t read all, but most.

feel free to leave recs in the comments!

For the millennials still chasing that 90’/00’s Scholastic Book Fair High✨

Unfortunately here in the US, a lot of books are banned in schools for ridiculous reasons. Here are just a few of them.

Joining my younger self on a reread of all the books I was exceptionally obsessed with in elementary, middle, and high school to reread this year between heavier books (some of the series are very long so I’m only including first in a series)

Instead of dancing in Target for inner child work, maybe let's start with reading kids books from our youth- and kids books that remind us of our youth.

So many childhood books, so little time, feel free to comment suggestions

Series I read as a kid that belong in every library.

My fav books from childhood

All of these books I got assigned to read between elementary, middle, and high school and they have changed and wrecked me for the better.

Back to school books for young readers (1st to 3rd grade).

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?

Books I think funny little girls should have in their library
