Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading by Lizzie Skurnick

5.0

I preordered this as soon as I heard about it (probably from a blog) and so very glad I did. I picked it up on Tuesday and had trouble putting it down for two days. Although the reviews/essays aren't very long and (thankfully) are free of critical-discourse-overload, I felt like Skurnick and her contributing authors took me back through all the books I loved as a tween/teen. I'd read most of the books covered in Shelf Discovery but I was intoduced to a few that slipped past my greedy library card. I've already made notes of which books to re-read (did someone say Madeleine L'Engle??); I had so many "omg, I LOVED that book!!" moments that I should give all those books some love again.
