Growing Up Bookish

This week we take on a "heartwarming tale about the Great Depression" called Ida Early Comes Over the Mountain. The cover calls it a "Mountain Mary Poppins" but is that REALLY how it is?

Psychics, romance, bad boys, an evil plan... this series has it all! We take on another of LJ Smith's famous paranormal romance trilogies: Dark Visions!

It's Halloween at last! We're ending this spooky month with a movie centered around the wizarding school that started it all - The Worst Witch! This was a favorite childhood movie for both of us and started our life long crush of Tim Curry. Did YOU watch this movie?

What child of the 80s didn't have the crap scared out of them with this movie? But is it as scary as we remember? And what the heck actually happened at the end anyways? This week, we dive into this 1980 Disney classic film: The Watcher in the Woods!

It's Halloween and we're taking on the classic Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. This book is iconic! Everyone we knew was reading it in the 90s and we all have fond memories of it scaring the pants off of us. Are the stories as scary as we remember?
