This week our American series continues with a visit to Brooklyn and stopping by the book and pop culture ephemera crammed apartment of Gabrielle Moss! Gabrielle is the author of the fabulous book Paperback Crush: The Totally Radical History of '80s and '90s Teen Fiction which is a must read for any You're Booked fans. We talked to her, obviously, about Sweet Valley High and Babysitter's Club, plus spooky reads, murderous memoirs, Peg Bundy and finding forgotten cheques in unexpected books.
