I was catching up on blogs today and ran across a post by [url=www.poundy.com]Pound[/url] , talking about the passing of the great Paula Danziger. That got me thinking about all the books I devoured as a pre-teen and teenager. Some of my favorites were:[u]Julian Thompson[/u] The Grounding of Group Six [u]Paula Danziger[/u] The Cat Ate My Gymsuit There's a Bat in Bunk Five [u]Judy Blume[/u] Deenie Blubber Forever Starring Sally J. Freedman As Herself [u]Francine Pascal[/u] (the original) Sweet Valley High series [u]Bette Green[/u] Summer of My German Soldier [u]Lois Duncan[/u] Stranger With My Face Daughters of Eve [u]Catherine Sefton[/u] In a Blue Velvet Dress What books did you love? |

hmmm... Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden mysteries, books like Chariots of the Gods, Louisa Mae Alcott books - Little Women, Little Men, Jo's Boys, etc.
Now I want to read them again :)

My parents gave me a Louisa May Alcott hardcover that has Little Women, Little Men, and Good Wives. I still have and reread that book every year. I can't believe I didn't even know Jo's Boys existed. I will hit the library tonight!

Jo's Boys picks up after Little Men, and Rose's Garden (?) is in the same vein... lovely story and until a couple months before she was born, Katie's middle name was going to be Rose. I changed it at the last minute, lord knows why.
