I must admit, I thought of you when I wrote the post! :) <br />My problem is that it's been too long since I read some of these books (and I've read a lot of other books between then and now), and I can't remember what they were about! One such is Caddie Woodlawn - I know I read it, I can vividly remember the cover, but I can't for the life of me remember what the story was about, so it apparently didn't make a huge impression on me, unlike the Anne books, the Little House books, Little women, etc. that I read over and over! <br />I'll see what of those I can hunt up in audio format.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747984146782559711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492397585933902089.post-19658817327038229672013-09-19T00:53:09.938-05:002013-09-19T00:53:09.938-05:00Books!!! **rubbing hands together excitedly...** Y...Books!!! **rubbing hands together excitedly...** Yes, I love books and one of my favorite parts of working at a library is suggesting books to people! :) I have (of course...) written a few blog posts on the subject. Here are a few suggestions from a post I did last December: <br /><br />The Railway Children – E. Nesbit <br /><br />Caddie Woodlawn – Carol Ryrie Brink (Magical Melons or Caddie Woodlawn's Family - two titles, same book- is the sequel) <br /><br />Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace. <br /><br />The Bronze Bow – Elizabeth George Spear <br /><br />Strawberry Girl - Lois Lenski (She wrote many books about girls from different regions, unfortunately, they have become hard to find. This one is fairly common.) <br /><br />The Pollyanna books – Eleanor Porter<br /><br />What Katy Did – Susan Coolidge<br /><br />How's that for a start? :PCharityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013969916805379124noreply@blogger.com
