7 out of 11, having never read any of her books, not bad

Forever was the most notorious book in my middle school library. You didn’t need to search for the “dirty” parts. The pages were loose and their edges were worn fuzzy. You were the pinnacle of cool if your mother let you check the book out…you needed a note from a parent to do so.

Wow, I haven’t read any of these in DECADES and I got 9 out of 11. Can’t believe I still remember this stuff.

Wow, it’s been years but 8 out of 11 isn’t bad. Blume was my childhood hero. I’m surprised the quiz didn’t mention Tiger Eyes.
