Shelf Control #4


Shelf Control is a weekly meme hosted by Lisa of Bookshelf Fantasies where we each share a book from our shelves we'd like to read soon. I need a break from the new releases, so this is just perfect for me! Come on and join in :)

* * * * *

My pick for this week is:

Tiger Eyes, by Judy Blume

How I got it: my local indie bookstore

When I got it: sometime last year

Why I want to read itAs you can tell by the bookmark, I have actually started this one! I read my first Shelf Control selection, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret last week and loved it, so I jumped right into my next Judy Blume. This is another classic YA book with a gorgeous new cover. I am so glad to finally be focusing on something other than new releases -- here's to more "oldies but goodies!"

  1. I read a lot of Judy Blume back in the day, so I feel fairly sure that I read this one... except maybe not, since I don't remember much about it that's not covered by the blurb. I'll look forward to hearing what you think! I should probably track down a copy myself and give it a try. Enjoy!

    1. It was very good! I think I liked Are You There God? It's Me Margaret better, but I'm learning I can't go too far wrong with Judy Blume -- better late than never :)

  3. So, basically, I should really try and read some of Judy Blume's works?!

  4. This is the only Judy Blume book I have ever read! I read it back in high school one summer and remember enjoying it quite a lot. Can't wait to read your review.

    1. I think these would be incredibly nostalgic if read when you were younger -- I'm new to Blume and I still like her books as an adult :)
