Your writing is a real delight. Thank you for sharing this part of you with all of us. One of my dearest and most favourite childhood books is one called But No Elephants. A traveling salesman is desperately trying to sell all his animals as pets to people, and one crotchety old woman ends up taking many of them in ...
But No Elephants ... at first ... Just this memory brings a smile to my face. Thanks Rosamond.
I loved reading this. Thank you for sharing! There are so many books of my life, from now and before. One from before is Mercedes Lackey's Heralds of Valdemar series. It's so dramatic! Over the top! Tragic! I think maybe I kind of hate it now but it's the first book I can remember reading with gay people doing gay things and I just. Fell so hard. When I was 13. So I will always love it.
Why was I so absolutely obsessed with The Ballad of Lucy Whipple in third grade? The idea of being ripped from life in Massachusetts to live in a frontier town in California by the mother who can’t understand you was an injustice that lit my fire. I read this book no less than eight times.

Omg I don’t know this one! Looking this up immediately because it sounds like very much my shit
I love this!! And Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is still a book I recite to myself when it all just sucks.
Oh my goodness yes!! When he gets gum in his hair?? Unforgettable. A book that taught me the importance of just being grumpy sometimes.
