Would you consider doing a tour of your bookshelf? I always love peeking at the spines behind you and would love to see your full collection

LOL omg died when your reference to Molly Ringwald was… Secret Life of an American Teenager. Def not my reference ❤️😂👵🏻

came to hunt for this comment! Not even a GenXer but I was like Molly Ringwald... the 80s icon of Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club fame!!! And then she said Secret Life and I cracked up.

Mary Jane was *so* good! I loved the audiobook, you actually get to listen at the end to the song they wrote for Mary Jane, it was so precious and unique!!

@athenasatheneum Ай бұрын

Ahh I missed this. I’ll check my library for a copy because I’m curious to hear the song
