Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).

Not going to lie, I got stuck here for ages. Loving the characters, but the quests are not drawing me in!

This audio book is moving so slow that I can zone out for an entire half hour at 1.5x speed and still follow what's going on when I zone back in. 😴

When I was a kid, my absolute favorite books were the Moorchild, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and A Little Princess. I haven't read them as an adult, except last year I listened to the audio book version of the Moorchild, which of course gave me a whole new perspective on it but which I still loved.
This made me want to reread my other two favorites, and then I got to thinking, how fun would it be to have a kind of forum or read along or challenge where we revisit books from our childhoods 🥹
So I wanted to ask what books everyone enjoyed as a kid and if anyone would be interested in rereading their favorites 🤗

no judgement zone here! i’m always curious about this and what made the book so bad to someone
mine is between if he had been with me and a thousand boy kisses. these books i was so excited to read but when i did, i absolutely hated them. i cringed way too hard during both of them. i know they are supposed to be heartbreaking, but it’s hard to be hurt by a book that made me want to chuck it across the room because of how bad it was

"In Scotland it is an agricultural maxim among the canny farmers that:
'If the moon shows like a silver shield, You need not be afraid to reap your field But if she rises haloed round, Soon we'll tread on deluged ground.'"

"Another weather guide connected to the moon is, that to see 'the old moon in the arms of the new one' is reckoned a sign of fine weather; and so is the turning up of the horns of the new moon."

This book is dense, but contains some very interesting information about moon-related folklore, as delivered by the cheeky Timothy Harley in 1885. It also contains discussions about things unknown at the time (but which modern science has since discovered), which was entertaining. It was definitely a bit of a slog at times, but I'm glad I saw it through to the end... eventually lol

"Native Chinese records aver that on the 18th day of the 6th moon, 1590, snow fell one summer night from the midst of the moon. The flakes were like fine willow flowers on shreds of silk."
Such beautiful imagery 🌬🕸🌙🤍

"In some parts it is a prevalent belief that the growth of mushrooms is influenced by the changes of the moon, and in Essex the subjoined rule is often scrupulously adhered to:
'When the moon is at the full, Mushrooms you may freely pull But when the moon is on the wane, Wait ere you think to pluck again.'"
