So here it is, my first contest! When I was growing up I read Judy Blume constantly! Every summer, I knew I would have reading material because I alway re-read my favorite three books: 1. Forever 2. Here's To You Rachel Robinson 3. Just as Long as We're Together.<--now with fancy new covers :) In honor of my childhood summers I am going to be giving away: Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I learned from Judy Blume edited by Jennifer O'Connell and a copy of Forever by Judy Blume {my ultimate favorite}.

Such a fun contest!!
My absolute favourite summer read was Are you There God? It's Me, Margaret. When I was a teen, Summer Sisters came out, and I read it more than a dozen times one summer. I've read everything by her so many times, but I have never read Forever, and I have no idea why. I'd love to win!
PS I retweeted the contest, too.
+1 I don't know if I remember any summer stories. I do fondly remember sitting in front of the new book section all summer and reading - due partly to the lack of air conditioning at home.

I loved Judy Blume growing up - she was my fav too.....
Other than her I loved nancy drew books and yes, once I blew through all of them (yup... all of them) I moved on Hardy Boys and did the same thing.
Someday I hope to own both of those sets in their entirety.
I follow you and I am about to add you to my giveaway tab as well for this fun event! :)
Favorite summer memory - when we were kids, my mom would take us to the country for 2 months out of the summer. We'd rent a cottage, buy food from the farms; it would always be the same kids that went every year, so it was great to go back!

A favorite summer read? I have to say Meg Cabot's books were always fun when I was in high school as well as the Harry Potter books, whether they were new or I was re-reading.
