There was a set of bookcases adjoining the adult genre fiction that was marked "YA", and during those three years, I started at the A's on one end and worked my way to Jane Yolen at the other end - I was especially interested in historical fiction and fairy tale retellings, and I must have read every single one at least twice even as I worked my way through all the books available there.Donna Jo Napoli was an interesting author - she wrote a few fairy tales that were interesting, but didn't quite appeal in the way some other authors' did, but I kept finding myself picking her books off the shelf anyway. Nearly every weekend and once or twice a week during summers, I rode my bike down and grabbed as many books as would fit in my basket. When I was a teenager, ages 14 through 17, I lived a half-mile from a library branch. ![]()
