Oh I remember the first books I fell in love with I loved anything by Lois Lenski. I know i am old. Strawberry Girl is still a favorite. I know she wrote these books in the late 40′s. I then moved on to Tom Sawyer, Hardy Boys, Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew most of these were published by the Whitman Publishing company and I still have some of these great books.
I did most of my reading from the library. I was also very fortunate that my parents would almost always buy the book I asked for rather than a toy. I love books to this day.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I liked Nancy Drew. We didn’t have much money to buy books to keep so I cherished the few I had. Usually I would get them from the school library. Thanks.

I loved The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew and also the Bobbsie Twins. I could always transport myself into their world. It was wonderful.

I have always loved and still do love Beverly Cleary’s books. Anything about Ramona Quimby was quickly purchased. I just was simply taken away when I read these books. It was nice for me too, because I recall that I discovered Ramona when my parents were getting a divorce, and it was so comforting being part of her world. Thank you for the giveaway!

I was an only (and lonely) child and didn’t have many cousin geographically close to me. Lived in a neighborhood full of mostly retired folks. My most memorable times were spent sitting in the shade (on the grass) by the side of my house reading–especially summers and weekends in the springtime. My Mom who was a SAHM introduced me to the public library early in my life so I would make trips on my bike to check out books. There are so many books/series I can recall but one of my top favorites was the Nancy Drew mysteries series. I really wanted to be Nancy Drew or her pal.
