I'm tired of worrying when bans will hit my school libraries (I have both a middle school and high school). I know it's a matter of when, not if. Anytime we ban a book it is a threat to freedom.

Her two books about her kids are still two of the funniest books I’ve ever read!

Happy birthday! I have counted on your account the past five years to keep me informed. Is it terrible though, to wish there wasn't a need for you to have been created?

Only once in my life have I felt represented by people in NC who had my best interests at heart. I loathe gerrymandering, no matter who does it.

Sue Barton was written before then - it just depends on if you consider it to be YA. I do, but perhaps I am biased. I was obsessed with the series when I was a teenager and I own copies of all of them.

My YA professor in library school (back in the 80’s) taught that the first YA book was Sue Barton, Student Nurse. Am curious as to what others think is the first one.

I adored all the Betsy books and think I have copies of all of them. You just made me want to reread them!
