Did you like Forever Diane? I read it many years ago in high school and it still stays with me.

It was ok. It is one of the few Judy Blume's I didn't read when I was younger. I would have liked it more if I had read it in high school, I'm sure.

I'm totally gonna try this! June 2010 to June 2011

I'm a big Tamora Pierce fan as well. I've never read her Circle series, but I'm doing a re-read of the first Alanna book next month for a challenge. It's been a long time since I read it, so I'm excited.

oh wow...its been years since I read the alanna books...I remember loving them in my teens because she was so kick ass! i'd heard they were being released in ebook format, so i'll have to check them out!

I just reorganized my bookshelves and finally relocated them so I thought they would be fun for the twin category for next month's challenge. I remember them fondly.

I'm now in!

This looked pretty scary at first, but it stuck in my brain.
Hmmm....maybe getting a little TOO into these challenges! But hey, I always read a lot anyway, and had fun updating my GR booklist after poking around the my bookshelves today. Doing that also showed me I could do this challenge without begging friends/family to poke around used bookstores since I can't get older English books here...

Duration: May 30, 2010 - May 29, 2012

I'm doing a SF Reading Challenge right now and this site was given to me as a referral for date specific books -- if you're interested in either SF or Fantasy, this will give you some help...

If you need help finding a book published the year you were born, do the following:
Go to: http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi
This is the Internet Speculative Fiction Database's advanced search.
For "Term 1" enter "novel"
In the drop-down menu to the right select "Title Type"
For "Term 2" enter the year you were born
In the drop-down menu to the right select "Year"
You should get a VERY long list of all the speculative fiction titles that were published that year. You will have to rule out the fantasy, as the ISFDB does not break the two genres apart.

I decided to give this one a try too... Here's my list so far!
