I read all of my sister's Nancy Drew books. Some more than once! I wish I knew whatever happened to them. I'd love to have them now.
Anne of Green Gables (series of books) was also a favorite. When it came on TV (Insp channel) I watched all of the episodes. I remember my sister reading Charlie and The Chocolate Factory to me.....one chapter at a time as a bedtime story. I loved that book.

I don't remember if I ever read Anne of Green Gables. It seems to me I may have in junior high but I really can't remember. There were so many books that we had to read in junior high and high school that I can't remember them all.

The Little Golden Books are great!!! I remember my mom and older brothers and sisters reading them to me and me reading them to my younger brothers and sister. I also remember you telling us that Nurse Nancy was how you came up with your screen name on NT. I always thought that was so cool as I loved Nurse Nancy too!
Grimm Tales were good too! We had a set of Hans Christian Anderson books. I think they were my mom's from when she was little. I know that we were not allowed to read them without permission. Thumbelina and The Little Match Girl were some of my favorites. |

I didn't read any of the Ann of Green Gables until I was an adult. I got them on my Nook.
When we were children, that was many years ago, my parents enrolled us in some kind of book club that every couple of months we would get new ones in the mail. I wish I had those. They had differnet levels and since my brothers were 8 and 9 years younger than me, we had two different levels. But that was how important books were to my parents. Sorry Starz. We also got Highlights. My oldest grand daughter is going into her sophomore year in high school. I remember asking her last year if she was excited and I got a big NO. But this year she is thrilled. Why? She gets to take history again!!! and she wants to take a couple of differnet history classes a semester if she can.

I loved taking history courses! I even have an associates degree in history , though I was working on my bachelor's in psychology before MS struck me down. I really thought the two of them paired well, along with a few courses in anthropology, you can start to understand the "human condition".
But I almost completely forgot about Highlights, and Ranger Rick! Great magazines when growing up. And the Little Golden Books, which are they still making those? I've a nearly 5 year old grandson who might be ready for them if they are. Very easy for young readers to read even if they occasionally had longer words. Although I will be honest, if we're including magazines in our favorites growing up... MAD magazine was the greatest literature of all time I mean come on Spy vs. Spy! It was totally worth the month long waits between publishing. My brother and I both loved it though we would constantly fight over who got to read it first.

B2Y - Hi!!! I miss your posts. As I have always said, you have a way of making something ordinary into something extraordinary! I think about that every time I think my life is boring. I think about viewing normal things they way you would view them. It always makes me smile and think of you. Anyhow, I had never heard of "Gone Away Lake" before. I just google it and it sounds like a great book!!!
Doydie - We had Highlights too!!! Those were great magazines. Books and reading were always important in our house when I was growing up too. Starz - You're so funny! MAD Magazine was one of my brothers favorite magazine. He would save up his allowance and whatever other money he got and buy the magazines. We all read them. Kicker - I love "Harold and the Purple Crayon" and wish I had that one here at my house to read to my grandson. I loved Harold's imagination. Such a cool book. I also forgot about the Little Princess. That's a good one too. All these great book ideas makes me want to head to the used bookstore and start a little library for my grandson. He is going to be a reader. At 19-months, he can identify about 1/2 of the letters of the alphabet. It's just crazy. So, I need to hustle on getting a little library of kids books going. |
