One of my favorite book memories was from Elementary School. I saw a poster for Ghosts I Have Been by Richard Peck on the school library window. Unfortunately, the book wasn't in yet! Aaaaaaa! I kept waiting and asking and I'm sure the librarians were fed up with me. Finally, the book arrived and I bet I was the first one to check it out. The anticipation was part of the excitement I'm sure, but I remember also loving the book. Sometimes when you wait for a book, it's not as good as you had hoped, but I do remember absolutely loving this one.
What are some of your favorite memories from school?

Ooo yes I remember always reading during free time too Pam! And spending a lot of time in the library scanning the shelves for my next read. I can't remember ever desperately waiting for a book to come in, but I certainly have experienced that feeling as an adult, and it's always the best when that book is worth the wait!
I always remember hanging out in the library with and my friends in high school. Also I checked out the new books that had just come in.
I think I spent most of my time in the school library! I was even one of the student librarians and helped out quite a lot, and I was constantly putting requests in to the librarian. But once I got into sixth form, I'd do anything to stay away from the library because that's where everyone would go and it was just way too loud in there.
I loved that book! I think I bought it through one of those Scholastic ordering books.
One of my favorite bookish memories happened in 9th grade. I had seen a cover of book at the grocery store called Once a Princess by Johanna Lindsay. At this point I hadn't ever read any adult romance. But even though I'm sure my mom would have bought it for me, I was too embarrassed to ask her too.
On the first day of 9th grade, I walked into French 1, and there was a girl whom I'd never met (not that difficult a feat, even in our tiny school since I'd only lived in PA for a year and this particular girl had gone to Catholic school up until now) and on her desk was a copy of Once a Princess. I immediately squealed, and Kim Kirsch and I became best friends pretty instantaneously. Kim was the youngest of 6 kids, with 4 older sisters. Not only was she a reader, but she had TONS of Johanna Lindsay books from her sisters. So we spent most of Freshman year trading Lindsay books. Later, we joined the Reading Team together. Good times. ;)
