journal prompt: books

what is the first book you bought for yourself? i can't remember if i bought The Care and Keeping of You with my own money or if i asked my mom to buy it for me. i do remember being in that bookstore in the mall and loving taking in all that "taboo" information. i loved all things American Girl. so if not, the first book i bought myself might have been Thirteen Reasons Why at the canton Borders. i loved going up there by myself. it was during high school when i was really trying to get "into" reading. i liked that book but i've definitely grown out of YA novels. some people can read them but not me.
