What did you read when you were tweleve?
Because too many horrible things happened this week, let's see if I can rope anyone into being silly.
I am looking for a good book to get a 12 year old for their birthday. What book(s) did you read when you were twelve that blew your mind? Here is my list.
Clan of the Cavebear (totally inappropriate that my Social Studies textbook had this listed as suggested reading)
Valley of the Horses (see previous)
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
Still Life With Woodpecker
Absolutely Normal Chaos (finally, something YA)
Walk Two Moons
The Plague
The Scarlet Letter
Wolf By the Ears
My Name is Rosemarie
Jaws
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Bastard Out of Carolina
The Thornbirds
Fame
So, reading my own list I would say tweleve was a time of sexual awakening for me, look at all that smut. I would not give most of those books as a gift, because I am not a crazy person. That's what mommy and daddy's bookshelf is for.
Please share to lighten my mood.
