Two librarians going on a journey to revisit the books that made them readers, but with a twist: one has the read the book, the other hasn't. We'll discuss some old favorites, random nostalgia, and those dreaded assigned readings, to see if the books that stay in our memories can stand the test of time.

    Is That How Code Works?

    Today we're taking a trip back to the early 2000's when every girl was "not like other girls" as we visit one of Aracely's high school favorites "Model Spy" by Shannon Greenland. Aracely comes to realize with disappointment that nostalgia may have had a lot to do with her feelings on this book. And Sonya is infuriated by everything in this story but admits she may not have the right perspective to enjoy it. Join us as we cringe and rage at our teenage selves! Have any memories of The Specialists you want to share? Or some of your teen favorites you want to suggest? Email us at bookthrowback@gmail.com.

    Children are always grateful!

    Today we're taking a trip way back to the 1940's with one of Sonya's childhood classic favorites: The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner. This sweet, wholesome, wonderful story (okay, Sonya's VERY biased) takes a turn into a confusing, strange, and unexplained tale (Aracely doesn't see the point). Nostalgia mixes with ranting as always as we learn the greatest lesson of all: be grateful for what you have kids! Have any memories of the Boxcar Children you want to share?

    Ponyboy Is a Brat.

    Today we're taking a look at one of Aracely's childhood favorites The Outsiders by SE Hinton. Sonya finds Ponyboy to be a little hard to relate to, but both Sonya and Aracely agree that for a book written in the 60's it tackles a lot of material that's still had to address in today's day and age. Aracely also finds that she can appreciate more of the story now reading it as an adult! Have some memories of The Outsiders you want to share?

    (Not so) Sweet Valley High

    Today we're taking a trip down memory lane to the hallowed halls of Sweet Valley High with the first book in the series by Francine Pascal, 'Double Love', and oh what a trip it was! Honestly, this episode is all over the place but to be fair so was the book! Sonya's nostalgia is nowhere to be found and Aracely finds the melodrama infuriatingly over the top. There's shouting and incredulity, but also praise for how far the genre of teen drama has come since the days of the wonderful Wakefield twins.  Have some memories of Sweet Valley High you want to share?
