I read a classic!  On purpose!  Without coercion!  Twelve-year-old me wants a medal.
My Antonia is the story of a sort of pioneer Magical Mystery Girl, as told through the eyes of Jim, a boy who travels from Virginia to frontier Nebraska to live with his grandparents after his parents die.  A [...]]]></description>

A Grown-Up Table diversion into comics&#8230; Y is over.  (Well, it&#8217;s been over for awhile, but I wait for the trade paperback compilations of the issues, and I just recently picked up the last one.)  It&#8217;s one of the first series I fell in love with, and the end did not disappoint &#8212; [...]]]></description>

This ARC* randomly found its way into my life, and I picked it from my &#8220;haven&#8217;t read yet&#8221; shelf to take on a recent camping trip to Acadia National Park because it takes place in Maine, and I&#8217;m a sucker for reading a book while surrounded by its setting.  The plot: Aslaug was raised [...]]]></description>

Grown-up book!  I picked this one up because the back reads, and I quote, &#8220;The rich and the privileged have fled the city, barricaded it behind roadblocks, and left it to crumble.  The inner city has had to rediscover old ways &#8212; farming, barter, herb lore.&#8221;  Near-future SF and self-sufficient urban community? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent post I set myself a challenge to read one grown-up book for every 2 or 3 YA books I read this year, to give myself the same chance at a literary lens for adulthood that I had for childhood/adolescence.
For my first meal at the grown-up table, I picked The Abstinence Teacher, by [...]]]></description>
