#wendy mass's stuff is weird in the way facing the wrong way on an elevator is

[bitchfitch]

that last ask made me go look up Wendy mass again to see what she's been up to since I grew out of her books and i forgot how much of my childhood Was her books.

Heaven Looks A Lot Like The Mall was like, The book that kept me alive when I was younger, A Mango Shaped Space still makes me tear up just thinking about it, Jeremy Fink and The Meaning Of Life is just Fuck man. Books that Haunt You for life to the point you're still thinking about them a decade later.

And then the Willow Falls series! I only ever read the first three but they were the perfect blend of weird and mundane and magical and like Dhdhhdhdhdhdh If you ever read anything i recommend, read 11 Birthdays, then Finally, then 13 Gifts, (and then all of mass's other books). Like, a mango shaped space is also an Amazing read and definitely worth it, but it's a book about a teen girls cat... you can do the math on how that'll go for mango. but fuck man it's a Good Book.
