My parents gave me unabridged editions of Tom Sawyer and Little Women for Christmas when I was eight years old and I dove into them right away.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Nancy Drew books were an obsession at around 5th grade.....we reading friends would trade them back and forth. I remember reading Ben-Hur and The Robe, too, in high school. I loved Agnes Sligh Turnbull books, too, for some reason.Jeannellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506888396193293867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386593357064408531.post-67283978699102019462008-06-29T18:24:00.000-05:002008-06-29T18:24:00.000-05:00Amazing Catch!Amazing Catch!Digital Polaroidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609066247518570719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386593357064408531.post-66575706503012305782008-06-28T09:02:00.000-05:002008-06-28T09:02:00.000-05:00Dropped back by to say thanks for stopping by my p...Dropped back by to say thanks for stopping by my place.

I liked reading about you lugging books home every few days, great story-telling abilities you have, no doubt from all the reading you've done. (good readers are usually good writers).<BR/><BR/>My favorite was a bookmobile. Did you have one of those? I can still smell the inside of it...books and air conditioning on a hot summer day...<BR/>Thanks for all your wonderful comments to my blog.

I feel I have always read---our whole family does the reading thing. My brother, sister and I lived in the library when we were young. I always said I read every book I was allowed to in the Wilmott Library. I don't think it is even there anymore. When I married and had children we lived in a rural area and the bookmobile would arrive and we would be there with our wagon ready to fill it up with books. My father belonged to a Book Club and remember hiding behing the Wing chair reading books I was told not to and I never did know what was so bad. As kids ya don't know what adults do. My mother is still reading like a mad woman---she is 92---and reads a amazing variety of subjects. Enough blabbling. I enjoy your blog thanks for visiting mine.

I can picture a little girl at the library, lugging books home, sitting reading and digging through dusty boxes of books.<BR/><BR/>As for me, it is a wonder I ever made it though school. I'm truly grateful for smart friends. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info on the vine. He has got to go. I left you a message on my site in the comment section. I love your site.

I remember going to school sleepy-eyed because after Mom put me to bed, I would take a flashlight and read under the covers until the wee hours.

I felt like I was trudging alongside of you, weighed down by those books. In fact, I do remember the feeling of those books digging into my skin as I'd shift them from arm to arm on my own walk home. I LOVED the library when I was a kid.. still do. Thanks for your memories.

I hope you enjoyed my post today showing the baby rabbit eating the hibiscus flower.<BR/><BR/> I am now taking a diminishing dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I am pain free. I believe the chemotherapy drug is spelled "Methotrexate" that is used to treat a lot of things from cancer to arthritis and it has side effects that are troubling. So I need to talk to my doctor about it before I take it. Just missing a dose can be a real nightmare.<BR/><BR/> Anyway, I wanted you to know I stopped-in to repay your visit and comment with mine.<BR/><BR/> I enjoyed reading your blog post for today about libraries and learning to read and I thought your photography is excellent.<BR/><BR/> I just got my first shipment of used books from Strand's bookstore in New York City. They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that. Anyway, they got here and I am totally happy with those I chose to read. I had to start out by just choosing a category, like photography, and go from there. I don't know how in the world they can keep track of so many books.<BR/><BR/>Look up Strand books or copy and paste: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/home/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386593357064408531.post-22100697398701373512008-06-25T05:07:00.000-05:002008-06-25T05:07:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
