(I only ever read the first one and didnt know it was a series.)
I recently re-read it with my own kids, and its dated in good and bad ways.
(Bad: stereotypical gender roles.

Good: Lets just say those kids dont need to be helicopter-parented.)
The novel I read in secret as a kid
Foreverby Judy Blume.
When I was 10,Foreverhad told me everything I needed to know.

Whitney Houstons eponymous debut album.
I was 10 and found Greatest Love of All exquisitely beautiful (and I was right).
My all-time favorite movie
Dirty Dancing.
Four months later were in the last season, so I suppose the definition of binge is subjective.
But I mean, who wouldnt have a crush on a hot, socially conscious professor?
The song that always makes me feel better
Shake It Off.
The last album I listened to
1989,so that I could shake it off.
What Im reading now
Private Citizensby Tony Tulathimutte.
The last book I gave as a gift
The Swedish novelWillful Disregardby Lena Andersson.
The most underrated TV show
The exceptionally charmingMaster of None.
The book Id use to squash a bug
My ownEligibleorAmerican Wifewould suffice quite nicely.
A classic Im embarrassed to say Ive never read
Theres not enough space to list them all!
That said, Ive realized that everyone has vast holes in their personal bibliographies.
There are a lot of books in the world.
My literary hero
Lizzie Bennet inPride and Prejudicedo you even need to ask?
The fictional character Id want on my side in a zombie apocalypse
Um… Lizzie Bennet.
