aise your hand if you were obsessed with the Babysitters Club growing up, like I was? ππ»ββοΈ

My 4th grade teacher actually spoke to me about my reading habits and strongly encouraged (or maybe begged) me to read something else because she was tired of all my book summaries in my journal being about Kristy and the gang! .
.
Maybe you were into the Sweet Valley series, or Goosebumps, or any of the numerous other 80s and 90s YA genres that were available. Paperback Crush talks about them all, giving you a radical and encompassing history of these industry-changing series for t(w)een readers. .
.
It is an interesting read because of the span of content it covers. There are so many series and sub genres of books in these decades that I had never even heard of! Books that scare you, books about relationships, ghosts, sex, sickness, school, and even summer camp. Itβs worth picking it up just to look at the pictures of classic book covers! (One of my favourites is on page 95 π). .
.
This 80s and 90s movement of fiction paved the way for the YA titles today that we know and love. If you were an avid t(w)een reader like me, itβs fun to take a trip down memory lane with Paperback Crush!
