Independent Bookstore Day with Judy Blume
Judy Blume owns a bookstore called Books & Books. I want to beef up my Judy Blume collection that has survived from childhood and adolescence. So what better way to celebrate the day, than to buy Judy Blume directly from her on Independent Bookstore Day!
So I ordered the second in the Fudge series, one I loved, Otherwise Known As Sheila the Great; Freckle Juice, a book I probably haven’t read in…

Happy anniversary to all of us! Thank you for six years of cupcakes; you are the cupcakes I find on difficult days. I hope I have given you some.
Show notes: In which Carla and Princess Jones Curtis from the Bye, Pumkin Podcast talk about being mysteriously early readers, the effect V. C. Andrews had on (mostly) the women of their generation, Paperbacks From Hell, Stephen King, how Carla’s earliest reading habits explain a lot, and how Judy Blume is still, well, perfect.
Sources:
All of the books discussed will be listed in the Substack, Patreon, and on the website after I catalog them all. Here’s Paperbacks From Hell by Carla’s buddy, Grady Hendrix. https://bookshop.org/a/6560/9781594749810 Grady, if you know which Zebra book (it had to be Zebra) was about the evil child named Lucien, let me know. I have to reread it.

Movie Review: Friday the 13th 3D (1982)
Letterbox link: 3 1/2 stars
Caught a continuity error this time: The hammock bed, during sex has a homemade quilt, after the shower has a fur blanket. Whoops.
Now I have the first three, my favorites out of the series, as steelbooks. I am a happy 80’s teen.
The age difference in appearance between Rick and Chris has always struck me as so odd. Looks like a teen and her teacher, instead of two…

Book Review: The Secret Passage by Nina Bawden
4 stars. Nina Bawden was one of the authors of my childhood. Greatly enjoyed revisiting her during my Daylight Savings Time hangover/flareup. This would be an excellent gateway to horror for young people–scary without too much peril and no death or bloodshed.
Keywords given to The Story Graph for other readers: Africa, England, London, family secrets, secret passageways

February books read: @littleinklingsdesign Always Booked Up planner and stickers from @plan_with_monica. 12 books, 4.54 star average, same as last month, no DNF. Good month again. My goal for the year is 144, 12 books a month, so I am still ahead of the game. 31 at the end of February, my birthday month. If you want to follow along or join my reading challenges, you can friend me on @the.storygraph as theremightbecupcakes. For a classic a month, I read A Prayer Journal by Flannery O’Connor. #books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #theremightbecupcakes #johnglatt #truecrime #flanneryoconnor #februarybooks #horror #cursiveismagic #2023books #2023bookstagram #billyjoearmstrong #greenday https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_N0oAMQ9K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have been immersed in expanding my family tree during my #DST flareup this week. We had a version of our family crest framed in our home when I was growing up. I never bothered to research the motto. The Latin translates to “Nothing without the sun”. Despite the ironic fact that I am photosensitive and that heat makes POTs worse…I love this. Going to research heraldry symbolism for the rest. Chime in if you are versed in it. #genealogy #familyheritage #familytree #familyheraldry #familycrest #pettigrew #pettigrewfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8FkI1O3Mk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh my my oh hell yes. My reserve came in at the Amherst library, and now I am getting a little sun in the car and beginning it while my MIL and husband grocery shop. I earned it; I dropped off my physical therapy prescription and made sure they can do my mobility evaluation for my power wheelchair. My first appointment is next Wednesday. Now to get some fresh air and sunshine and return to Yale. (I miss Yale; haven’t been back since 1989 but this series brings it back so vividly to me.) #Books #amreading #bookstagram #beyourownheroine #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookgram #booklife #bookblogger #bookpodcaster #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bookdragon #bookaesthetic #bookpodcast #prettybookcovers #theremightbecupcakes #leighbargudo #horror #horrorbooks (at Amherst County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3GPnluQlj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#wheelchairlife Neurology appointment today: as the UVA attendant started to push me to check-in, one of my hand-grips popped off. I had to carry it on my lap for the rest of the visit. Looked like a disabled ninja carrying some bizarre throwing weapon. 🤦🏻♀️ However! I had to wheel myself out because everyone was so busy. I paused in the lobby because my pain level was so high, and this guy stopped and asked if he could help me. He’s a custom wheelchair representative that works with patients in the Neurology Department! He pushed me to the car, and we talked options. I can upgrade to a better-fitting manual chair, I can upgrade parts of my chair, I can get power-assist for my chair (“but stopping can sometimes a problem” 😁), or I can upgrade to a lightweight electric chair. 🤞🏻His company coordinates between the doctor and the insurance and me, basically all the stressful stuff, and help me choose and get fitted. Thank God everyone was busy! 🦼 #chronicillness #chronicpain #beyourownheroine #EDS #hypermobility #fibro #fibromyalgia #POTS #youdontlooksick #dysautonomia #wheelchair #wheelchairgirl (at University of Virginia Medical) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvahgGupXp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
