Top Ten Tuesday: Book that create happy memories

 This week's topic is Book that create happy memories. I almost don't know where
to begin. But maybe books I remember reading over and over as a child. Comfort reads. Milestone reads. 

This might be the first book I remember reading. I'm not sure why I loved it so much, but I did.

I read this in high school and loved it. My parents took me to Orchard House and I was stunned to learn that it was fiction. I really wanted Jo March to be real. (I knew it was fiction, but for some reason I thought it was the story of her life. I hated finding out there was no Laurie.)

I started reading Mary Higgins Clark in 7th grade and never looked back

My sister and I borrowed this book from my cousin. We kept it so long, I think she forgot we had it. Eventually we gave it back. I bought copies one year for my sister and I for Christmas. 

While I loved the Anne movies, I was more an Emily of New Moon reader. Loved this trilogy so hard.

I read this book until it fell apart. And then kept reading it in pieces

I read this in high school after realizing that Clueless was Emma.

Read during grad school and realized teen books are awesome - and became a teen librarian

What books create happy memories for you????

Top Ten Tuesday: Fall Freebie

 This week's topic is a fall freebie - and I'm talking about some YA fall books.

Now that fall is officially here, it's time to read some cozy seasonal reads. I'm loving all the fall YA romance books this year. I haven't seen this trend before in YA and I'm here for it!
