Absolutely CREASING at this tumble down memory lane @boundlessmagazine.bsky.social. My school used to give out book vouchers, then present the books we bought at an annual prize ceremony.
We all bought Angus, Thongs & Full Frontal Snogging. Confiscated. We were presented with dictionaries instead 😂
