I've been told throughout my life — sometimes as a compliment — that my rage was unusual for a woman. But I don't think that's true. Women feel the full range of emotions, including every flavor of anger, even if society discourages us from expressing them. And that's what gives me pause about many current analyses of women's anger. If we're only extolling the positive changes that women's anger can create, what's going to happen the moment we have angry feelings that aren't so heroic? What happens when we start saying that our anger is more complicated, never all good or all bad? I realize that admitting that women's rage can sometimes be toxic feels like handing misogynists another tool to cut women down, to say we're irrational and shouldn't be listened to. But I think the alternative — to elevate women's righteous rage without also making space for women to express more complicated anger, or any less palatable feeling — is more dangerous. I worry that the second we take the next step — demanding to be viewed as whole, with the full spectrum of emotions, from righteous rage to pointless rage to sadness to Oprah's-Favorite-Things-level joy — many of the newspapers and policy makers who have been so receptive to our recent anger will back off. I already see it in editorials that claim women are too angry, have gone too far, are mad about the wrong things — as if anger is just a toy that will be taken away from us the second powerful people decide we're misusing it. Saying that women are “allowed” to be open about their anger now — if they’re angry about the right things, if their anger is in service of improving the world, if they’re raging over sexual harassment and assault instead of the millions of small, ridiculous things that make people angry in the moment — means we are still being held to an impossible emotional standard. We’re still in the cage.

Book 34 Paperback Crush

Random letters RL came up. I was thinking for sure I'd go with an RL Stine Goosebumps or something since I'd never read one, but interestingly enough the search turned up another book about books he wrote. Paperback Crush by Gabrielle Moss is about the Sweet Valley High/Babysitters Club/etc books that defined young adult (white, female, heteronormative) reading in the 1980s and 1990s. As some of you certainly know, RL Stine dabbled in the genre before hitting his gift for horror.

I myself didn't read many of the books or series mentioned- save Choose Your Own Adventure, which my hick self calls Twistaplots after the "B" brand of those kind of books.

The book is fairly comprehensive. It covers the broad history of Young Adult and then mentions notable series and their histories going by category School, Family, Clubs, Horses, etc. It also includes notable exceptions to the heteronormative, white, etc. books with special touches on books that did reach out to queer teens and teens of color. And, of course, Claudia Kishi who even I'd heard of by reputation.

A lot of the book is making fun of the covers of the books and I'm down with that. They're pretty silly, and it's never in a really meanspirited way. This author loves those books too. Moss even found out how Hodges Soileau painted all the Babysitter's Club covers.

BEST LINE: Before Sweet Valley, I'd been a shy, unpopular dork. But after Sweet Valley, I was something much, much better: a shy, unpopular dork who could retreat into a pastel parallel universe.

SHOULD YOU READ THIS BOOK: Did you love these kinds of books, know someone who did, or just want to know a bit about the history of YA? This comprehensive book is a must then.

ART PROJECT: Moss mentions that RL Stine sounded a little mournful when interviewed about giving up humor for horror. I agree that humor probably has lost one of its talents. I have a Choose Your Own Adventure called Indiana Jones and the Curse of Horror Island written by Stine. The first real choice you're given is to either dash into some flying bullets, or avoid them. If you avoid them you end up in a crate that never takes off for horror island and your adventure is over. You lose. It's as if Stine is saying: "welcome to the world of Indiana Jones, where dashing into bullets is the only thing that makes sense." which is hilarious and true. I was going to share some of the art from this as my project, but I've completely misplaced the book. I promise to keep looking and share when I do find it. But in its place is a cover from another classic Choose Your Own Adventure.

Paperback Crush

So January isn’t even half over yet and I am already considering my top reads of 2024 (and no, I did not do this for 2023 because reasons). One of (and so far the only contender) is the nonfiction book, Paperback Crush by Gabrielle Moss. Now this is not a new book. I actually bought this for my Kindle a few years ago and just never read. I kind of forgot about it but then with my Babysitters…
