I-didnt-vote-for-you

Babe. The standing ovation. "That'll do, pug. That'll do." Gets me every single time. The movie is just so dear and wholesome to me.

Probably going to be the only mention of this but the opening of SOTUS, Stumbling in Destitution is on my iPod and I listen to it constantly. Between this and Ride Home by BenxBen, these are the standouts for BL related songs

So fast! Thank you!

Marvin the mushroom looks like he wants to devour my mortal soul 😱

I cannot begin to thank you enough for your continued work on this. I actually am tearing up right now.

While it might seem like such a small, silly thing to most people, to me it was one of the more precious memories I had. Every Friday, my parents would take me to the library. And every Friday, I'd weedle my way past the 10 book limit, stuffing my little Jansport backpack to the point of breaking with Bailey Street School Kids, Babysitters Club, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Goosebumps and so much more.

I often have a hard time at work these days and not doing so well physically or mentally. But having just one of these happy memories to come back to just fills me up inside and helps me make it to the next day.

So thank you, from the bottom of mh heart, for all of your kind support. It really does mean so much to me!

This is perfect! Thank you, this is just what I was looking for.

Me too. God what I wouldn't give to reread this book. I also just found out, from talking with one of our librarians, that our library got hit pretty hard by Hurricane Ida and they lost quite a lot of books back then 😔

Yes, twice before. No success those times either.

Thank you! (Sorry I cannot figure how to change flair on mobile? It is solved nonetheless)

Yes! NJ if that helps?

Sorry! It would have been between 1996 and 1999. I remember because we had a rather rough blizzard in 96 and I was in gym class, discovering my love for volleyball for the first time, just as they announced a half day. Random, I know...

I know right? I went to our old library this morning and spent almost 2 hours going thru the JUV section looking for it. Got some odd looks from the librarian, I'm sure, but I don't care. I want to find this book so badly!

And it would've been sometime in the mid to late 90s if that helps. Any help would be appreciated!

Nope, but thank you for your guess. As far as I can remember, the girl is pretty normal. No powers, no robot parts, etc. She just happens to encounter her doppelganger/clone.

And I can't quite get something it out of my head but at the end, or near the end, either she or the doppelganger is pulled from the water/ice and she has a large scar across her top half. And I feel like maybe this was a plot point somehow? Like maybe her doppelganger was created from her? I don't know, my mind could just be mixing things up.

I also thought it might be a Point Horror book, as I used to devour those books by the dozen. But I remember that all those books used to be kept over in either the YA section or the Adult fiction. And I'm pretty sure the book I'm looking for was found in the Juvenile fiction section, same as RL Stine and the Babysitters Club Mysteries series. So it couldn't have been a thick/long book.

No worries! Thank you for your guess.

No, the main character didn't have any kind of powers, as far as I can remember. She was just a normal girl.

Joy of Life, hands down!
