Today I read Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume. It it on the All TIME 100 Novels List, one of the list I've chosen to read 15 book from.
Description from TIME:
You could almost hear the collective generational sigh of relief in 1970 when Blume published this groundbreaking, taboo-trampling young adult novel: finally, a book that talks frankly about sex without being prim or prurient, and about religion without scolding or condescending. A few months shy of her 12th birthday, Margaret Simon is starting school in a new town and asking God some serious questions. Like, when is she going to get her period? What bra should she buy? And if her mom is Jewish and her dad is Christian, is she supposed to join the Y or the Jewish Community Center? Blume turned millions of pre-teens into readers. She did it by asking the right questions—and avoiding pat, easy answers.
This was my first Judy Blume book to read and I have to safe I thoroughly enjoyed it! This was a cute little pre-teen book, I finished it just an afternoon. But it really put you back in the mind set of a little girl in a middle school girl. Now that I've finally ready one of Judy Blume's book, I defiantly want to read one of her adult books now. Any suggestions??
