Childhood Trauma Books

The original Snark Squad mission statement was to blog our way through “the books that ruined us for life.” While we adopted “The Snark Squad” from the outset, Childhood Trauma was the original blog name. So here it is: the place where we rip our childhood memories to shreds, and nostalgia comes to die. You can poke through all of those posts, or browse by series:
