My favourite part of this is Jenny just vehemently going to bat for LJ Smith and telling people to buy her books.

I suggest The Night of the Solstice myself! It's weird and kind of creepy and cool
It is like the weirdest of her books and nothing like any of the others of hers I read. The Strange Power was the other one I owned and also loved that. She was one of my favourite authors growing up.
Side note, the HELL is going on with this cover????
I reread this series semi-recently, actually, and this is... this is not what it is XD
Pardon the expression, but the world has done L. J. Smith dirty.

Thanks to everyone the reception to this post also! I like to do this one every year, but it really does take a while to do, and I'm quite proud of it.
I really, really love middle grade literature and I think it does everything YA does and more while having to both work with a generally more sensitive audience and, honestly, a lot more gatekeeping and less support.
I always try to talk about queer middle grade during @queer_reads because it means a lot to me and we really don't talk about it enough, in my opinion.

I'm 28 years old and some of the times I feel most seen as a human being is reading middle grade novels, honestly.

Things have been kind of done, and I have a snack and a drink, so are you ready for today's #LainaWatchesAnne thread???
#LainaWatchesAnne Last time, we discussed some of how Anne is seen in Japan in general, from the perspective of someone who googled a bunch of stuff but is by no means an expert.

And today, before getting into the actual episode, we have a little more backstory.
#LainaWatchesAnne I promise, it's pretty interesting.

I feel like the demographic being affected by this is uh. Pretty specific.
I mean, I'm a person who's broken a few toes walking into things/dropping things on my foot, but I'm incredibly clumsy.
Oh my god I just searched it and I slammed my foot into the bathtub super fucking hard on January 17th 2020. Like really badly bruised, thought I might need to tell the doctor.

I BROKE MY SPINE JANUARY 28TH 2020.

What kind of cursed month was January 2020????

Okay, we've got a cool entry on the #LainaWatchesAnne front today!

SOMEHOW and honestly I don't know how because my adaptation choices have not gone in any order but "I want to talk about them" @fromankyra guessed correctly and we will be talking about the anime series today!
#LainaWatchesAnne Congratulations, you get a... whatever I promised in my tweet. Star sticker maybe?
#LainaWatchesAnne So, welcome to the Akage no An thread!
