Double X tags Julie and Julia (I was actually supposed to be named Julia) for BBRs!
This summer I’m toting around Lizzie Skurnick’s Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading, which was excerpted in Double X in July. In it, Skurnick and a few co-contributors (though it’s Skurnick’s warm, sardonic voice that dominates) re-read and re-assess the young-adult books that they remember loving as girls: Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, Beverly Cleary’s Fifteen, Katherine Paterson’s Jacob Have I Loved, and dozens more. Shelf Discovery is like a mini-bibliography of literature for young women, annotated by your brainy best friend.
Dana….I’m buying! (No, really.) If Julie could come tonight, she could buy too.
