I Miss the Scholastic Book Fair 

That's most likely what they intended, surprised Dream Jelly didn't note the same thing

But you should know

Even middle schools!

​@@FlamingSkyess-ni6ri my middle school had them! I guess I got lucky

Yesss, we still want fancy pens and rubbers.

Barns and Noble or whatever is basically a book fair. They have toys and crap everywhere.

AND AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES

aww, thats cute!

YES SAME HERE

Same

You unlocked a memory in my head cause I was the kid that would always get the Guinness Book of Records every single year lol. I also would get those Ripley's Believe It or Not books. Everybody in the class would do exactly as you put it, they'd push the desks together or crowd around my desk to see all the wacky records/see the weird freaky stuff in the Ripley's books

I have a whole stack of em.

and the posters and scented colored pencils 😂

@@minoena I was obsessed with the color pencils. I got too angry with the erasers barely work as that kid who drew on everything during school

you guys had book fairs in middle school? :(

We don't have book fairs in middle school. That's part of why it sucks.

I LOVED THOSE. I got this one that was pink and VERY mystical-looking with dragon claws on the end and I legitimately convinced myself that I was a witch because I had this magic pen in my possession lol

They *still* sell those pens. I still kind of buy them at the book fairs. They’re still really popular, and get sold out almost immediately.

I'm in college and my pencil bag still has one of those UV pens that I bought in middle school LOL

Espically since book stores have basically gone extinct.

@@misspinkpunkykathave you guys ever heard of booktok? 😅💀

lots of libraries already do used/discarded book sales but it's not quite as appealing as the scholastic book fair to most people, I imagine 😅 you can still find good stuff sometimes though, and for just a few dollars!

​@@MeimoonsPlease no i would rather die than be unironically recommended colleen hoover again

@@DuskDivinationwheezing 😂😂😂

Aw that sounds amazing 🤩

@@gracekim25 Yeah, my mom's awesome, I love her :)

I still have all the books I got years ago. I do read them from time to time :)

omg i used to read rainbow magic religiously. poor jack frost, never getting to steal those fairy item things :(

Awww man, so many amazing books I've read! And I mean, like, scholastic and little kids books I mean. I've read some regular books too and they're good. Lol Probably my favourite series (not scholastic but for kids) is Tales of Sasha, beautiful illustrations and a main character I can relate to. It's a newer series though, from later 2010s or something. But the characters are so fun and cute 💖 Never read Rainbow Magic but it sounds nice!

I remember this with the Egyptology book lmao

The fairy one ruined my life. 🙃

I had a similar ologyesque book about raising baby dragons. I took it so seriously I got my dad to email the author for me, letting him know I was ready for my first dragon and where do I buy dragons eggs please. He sent a very kind email back letting me know that the book was fictional but that he also wishes he could own a dragon and if he ever finds out where to buy dragon eggs Ill be the first one he tells. Looking back it was honestly such a sweet gesture he didn’t have to go out of his way to do.

I too, was crazy once.

It's cute when children start their own cults.

I read the hell out of those books and still have a couple that I pop open and read for nostalgias sake.

Did someone say rainbow magic?!

@@abbycollinsMe too! I still love the series.

Gosh the jewel fairies covers were so beautiful. I also love the book covers for the weather and party fairies.

I’m an adult and I just bought a boxed set. My childhood is healed

i love and adore that series !!! i wish i could check it out from my library but they only let children in the section that has Geronimo in it 💔😭 i hope someday i can get my hands on some of those books again !

when I was in elementary back in the 2010's Geronimo books were so hard to come by at the library. The Goosebumps books were also always taken out too

I remember one kid at my school back in 5th Grade or so would almost exclusively read Geronimo Stilton whenever she had free time in class. It got to the point where people were genuinely confused as to why she wasn't reading anything else. I only have to assume it was a hyperfixation for her, since I remember someone pointing out it had nothing to do with 'reading level' or anything. I wonder where she is today tbh

the train one is the best

I didn't know about Geronimo Stilton until I was on Ondemand and watched some of the cartoon. I enjoyed it alot and didn't know it was a book series. It looks like something I would have loved as a kid.

I could almost never buy books since I grew up poor

Still is huge lmao. Or like... big enough to keep going to this day with stuff like the royal baby fairy and the slime fairy lmao

@@daniellewilliamson4215 from what I can tell they’re indeed still super popular. Thanks to a rabbit hole search I learned that they’ve added a bunch of fairies with different ethnicities (including viltigo and an entire Europe exclusive line about religious holidays around the world like Eid, Buddha Day and Diwali) disabilities (Down syndrome, wheelchair, hearing aids, prosthetics), genders (boy fairies ) and even added two new dark skinned protagonists to join Rachel and Kirsty starting from Hope the welcome fairy onwards. (one has two lesbian parents and the other has no hand on one of their arms) As a disabled person myself who is also a part of the lgbt community, I’d kill for that representation if the books were sold in America when I was younger.

Yeah it’s still going. It’s turned 20 this year 😊

@@abbycollins not African. Half Nigerian. Also they’re not both African mate😅 Gracie has a Nigerian mum

@@abbycollins the books are NOT set in America 😅 are you feeling ok?

i’ve read almost every single rainbow magic book and i’m sorry to report that it does not.

@@nebula_ash819Would definitely be cool though :)

I remember my sister also really liked Junie B Jones and my mom would read it to her before she went to bed. I remember listening in on it and thinking it was fun to listen to. I only read the first book in the series but I kinda have negative memories of it cuz I was in special ed for Autism and I remember having an SE teacher who made me read out loud with her during reading time while everyone else read silently. I remember feeling very humiliated by her but I eventually put my foot down with her and said “no more reading out loud.” But yeah, I think Junie B Jones is a series I woulda enjoyed reading but I think it’s just sorta triggering for me cuz of my SE trauma associations with it

Yeah! One of my biggest BONE memories is about the furry monster things really craving quiche, which I think was the first time I’d read that word. Every time I see anything quiche-related, I picture one of the pages lol.

Your talking about that Mouse Book he is one right or a Rat Gerimo? Be either way I remember seeing those at the Book Fair as well.

Gazp You know Geronimo too? :0

@@thenexttangle8568 Yes! Geronimo is what got me into reading and I also read a lot of the Thea Sister's books too

@@hope52677 The show forgot his glasses-

@@thenexttangle8568 I didn't know there was a show?! I only had the books.

YES YES YESS PH MY GOD 😭😭😭 GOING TO THE BOOKFAIR AFTER MEETING WITH MY TWACHERS THEN THE WEEKND HIT SO AHRD

i thought i was the only one that bought all the pokedex books lmaoo. i still have all of mine too

Yes!

tbh i don’t even mind the pandering. the videos are genuinely good, she has a great voice, and tbh i love the comments section here

Zillenial... that's the perfect description of my age range. Thanks😄

I’d say it’s zillenial appreciation and love 💕 i feel blessed to have found this channel, it seriously warms my soul and makes me feel like i’m 8 watching hannah montana and flipping to nickelodeon during commercials

The cynicism...if it's pandering, all videos on all topics are pandering.

It’s not pandering though. She has experience with these subjects and she’s talking about something that interests her. That’s not what pandering is lol

I thought Daisy Meadows was real too 💀 There was a silver lining though - one of the ghostwriters was Linda Chapman, an author I loved growing up! She wrote books about mermaids, unicorns, genies, film stars, "Stardust Spirits" and pretty much anything else a girly girl could want!

Yess omg! I looked back recently and had no idea so many of the books I would love reading were written by/partially written by Linda Chapman, like Unicorn School, My Secret Unicorn, Secret Kingdom or Not Quite a Mermaid. I always loved those kinds of books, all the magical and animal based ones. And yeahh I remember thinking how cool and fitting "Daisy Meadows" was, kinda like Warriors with "Erin Hunter" 😭

@@-ponysparkle3-480 My Secret Unicorn was great!

@@cosmiquealiene6168 I was like that too😅

Nice pfp :)

Anime posters, erasers, etc

I still have at least 5 of them!! I loved the bumpy covers as a kid and I feel like it had so much more grosser images than the world record books.

I have 7 I believe. 4 yearly ones and 3 large ones. Fascinating shit if you delve deep enough that you wanna get more and more books. Also National Geographic KIDS and their entries on strange and unusual facts intrigue me as well. It's where I learned insanity like how octopus flavoured ice cream exists and the like

it was so hype

It was awesome. Absolutely hype

The fact that "The A-Z Mysteries" doesn't have any kind of adaptation is a crime, pun intended!

9.99 and you only had $10 and the total was $12

Oooo I’m in the club then!! I feel so exclusive

I love this, glad you survived!! I tried a less dangerous but just as made up world record of “most layers of lip gloss applied in 30 seconds”… I don’t think I beat it, if it was a thing

Im also a fellow zoomer who got her gallbladder removed, the doctor told me i had the metabolism of a truck driver at 17

@@molotera8789 🙏 hope you're doing better now

@@CainCalifornia that was 6 years ago but thanks

AGREED!!!!

Have you watched the anime?

I don’t get how dork diaries is more popular. Dear dumb diary has much better writing tbh. Dork diaries kind of seems like it was just made for quantity. Also, it’s extremely unrealistic to the point that the later books almost feel like someone’s fanfic.

DUDEEEE I WAS LITERALLY talking about those books with my sibling!!! I was obsessed with those and did a boom report project on it with drawings of how I imagined the characters to look and all. Honestly it would make for an interesting TV show or movie. They hold up well still imo!! I was also a quiet emo kid fs fs. Need to read them again

same! i loved that series!
