Oh, how I love your books! My Mother gave me the copy of Little Women that had been given to her when she was a young girl (1932), and I read and re-read it so often, that the covers came off. I still have it tucked away safely until I can get it re-bound. Every time I would open it, I would read the Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771661767576872674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058694316491400824.post-82983859227571160812016-01-28T15:50:38.333-08:002016-01-28T15:50:38.333-08:00Judy, tried to leave a comment this morning, but d...Judy, tried to leave a comment this morning, but didn't think it went through and now I don't see one.

Our mom would shout - get up and do something useful - and so we would clean or cook or tidy up the yard. I read whenever and whatever I could - when sent to the pantry for food I would read the labels of cans and back of cereal boxes - and make up JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058694316491400824.post-79357770683644705472016-01-27T09:52:38.780-08:002016-01-27T09:52:38.780-08:00Hi Judy,

I just found a 90's copy of Snow in April, Wild Mountain Thyme and Flowers in the Rain. We share a love for books and I love that you still have your original copy of Little Women. Priceless!

Did you read a book called The Girl of the Limberlost when you were a girl. I remember that I felt as though I was THERE and it has stayed with me always.

I remember reading Enid Blyton (Good Morning Book) which my father gave me and I still have, along with the Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew and Trixi Belden. Reading before bed and sometimes with a flashlight under the covers was my favourite time. I have read hundredsPamela Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071092617682650349noreply@blogger.com
