Hey what are you getting at the Scholastic book fair?
ooc but this kinda hit me with a sort of bittersweet nostalgia
i never really got any money to buy things at the book fair. i always felt kinda left out when all my friends would be getting their cool books and little toys, but it was fun anyway. i always ended up looking at pokemon encyclopedias and those grow your own crystals kits. i think the only novelty thing i bought were those smelly pencils, and i still have them because i was too afraid to use them. i really don't know what i'd buy now.
i remember the elementary school library. i used to really love reading. my favorite book was called "and the z got zapped" or something, and there was a fish tank by the shelf where that book went. that book was never on the shelf because i always had it checked out. that and some kind of informational book about, like... the human body or dinosaurs or something. there were also these weird outdoorsy books about camping and fishing and identifying animal tracks. they had a christmas tree in there around the holidays, and the librarian would read us stories. it was really nice
i miss that
