I'm happy to welcome Susanne Winnacker, author of The Other Life, to Hooked to Books today. Susanne will be giving us an idea of the things she liked as a teenager - garage sale style.
Thanks for stopping by Susanne!

Today I’m going to do a post about the things you’d find in a garage sale from my teen years.
- Backstreet Boys CDs. Many of them. I think my obsession with them started when I was 11 or 12 and lasted for about two years. (my 13 year-old self would’ve killed me if I’d sold her BB CDs!)

- About 50 copies of “Mein Hund” which translates into “My dog” and is a German magazine for dog lovers. I read it religiously.
- Books about dog breeds, cat breeds, and all kind of other pets.
- My first computer!!! I got it when I was 16! It was huge and slow but I was so happy when my mother gave it to me. I think I was one of the last of my friends who had one. Today I can’t even imagine how I ever lived without internet!
- My first mobile phone. It was super heavy and the buttons were huge too. I rarely used it but I was very proud to own it.
- Two old walkmans and many tapes, as well as a discman.

- Two pairs of Doc Martens – one of them black and the other white with flowers. They don’t look so good anymore because I wore them almost every day when I was about 13 (that was before I started wearing high heels).
Thanks for having me on your blog today!
