You will love the Abby Cat System Jane when you are here this Summer. So easy to request the latest and greatest books.<br />Would love to know what your Mom has written if you care to share.<br />Two of my favorite children's books are Dr. Goat & The Country Bunny and the little golden shoes.The Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021866057255311124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-4936941576684594062010-11-26T16:43:44.746-05:002010-11-26T16:43:44.746-05:00Kim - I read a lot of weird stuff as a kid - my mo...Kim - I read a lot of weird stuff as a kid - my mom (who was a published author herself) had shelves and shelves filled with books - Edgar Cayce who wrote prophecies etc, Dale Carnegie, lots of self help type books etc. I was reading Edgar Allan Poe stories as a child when the other kids were reading Dick and Jane, and liked to read Shakespeare's plays out loud for fun. Don't I sound like a geek? I was, but as everyone in my household was an avid reader it didn't seem weird at the time.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-77377426851397308062010-11-26T16:34:39.256-05:002010-11-26T16:34:39.256-05:00Hi Lannie: My very first job was doing the Story H...Hi Lannie: My very first job was doing the Story Hour over at the library - I loved it. Going over early to pick out books - I'd read them all over and over so got to share my favourites with the little kids. And getting those teeny tiny paycheques made out to me from the LIBRARY - wow - I thought I had made it BIG!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-10120209599090979932010-11-26T16:32:49.151-05:002010-11-26T16:32:49.151-05:00Sam - I still have my childhood copy of Rebecca of...Sam - I still have my childhood copy of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm in addition to all the Anne of Green Gables books.

I think vivid imaginations go hand-in-hand with voracious reading habits, esp. at a young age.<br />My readings of the newspapers, and my father's adult books starting at a tender age surely contributed to my imagination that a psycho lurks around every corner!<br />Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-44552878309475095922010-11-26T09:19:24.347-05:002010-11-26T09:19:24.347-05:00Hi Sis: From one library lover to another, you bri...Hi Sis: From one library lover to another, you bring back memories of home.Thank heavens for porch lights! I used to put books away at the library for an hour or two after working at Pitcher's on Sat. nite..think I got 50 cents an hr. Then watched Sat. nite movie with Nana. Miss Lossing would often ask me if I thought the book I had clutched in my hands was too adult for me and I'd say NO..A person could break out in a sweat hoping to get a "romantic" book past her!

I can remember reading anything I could get my hands on at that age, but "Rebecca of Sunnybrooke Farm" was one that stands out. My DD loves it as much as I do!
