A book meme (three)

From Shelly’s Bookshelf:

Name your 3 favorite children’s series.

Trixie Belden
by Kathryn Kenney
These were my favorites when I was a kid. Though a close runner-up would be the Boxcar Children. Oddly, I don’t think my kids have read any Trixie Belden books. They don’t carry them in any of the bookstores that we frequent.

Emily of New Moon
by L.M. Montgomery
IMO, much better than Anne of Green Gables. Besides that, Emily is an aspiring writer and has cats. ‘Nuff said :)

It seems to me that there were far fewer “series” of books when I was a kid. There weren’t Babysitters Club, or Goosebumps, or Animal Ark like there are today. Not to mention no Harry Potter or Eragon, etc. Nowadays it’s almost a given that books are serialized. Must be a good sales tactic…

Name your 3 favorite non-series children’s books.

Bargain Bride
by Evelyn Sibley Lampman

Strawberry Girl

by Lois Lenski

Roller Skates
by Ruth Sawyer

Name 3 favorite children’s book characters.
Jo (Little Women)
Like Jo, I was so sure I would grow up and marry an eccentric German professor and write novels..
Harriet (Harriet the Spy)
Harriet is so sneaky cool! I wanted to go up and down the neighbors dumbwaiters just like her!
Meg Murry (A Wrinkle in Time)
Meg and her family were my heroes. I wanted to be a scientist like her mother–cooking dinner on a bunsen burner in my “lab,” and have eccentric kids and adventures, etc. I was pretty sure that I would grow up and have a big dog named Fortinbras.

I’m not going to tag anyone with this meme (I don’t want to annoy people with continual tags), but I’d love to hear any of your responses to these questions–put a response or a link in the comments. :)

Wow, this is a amazing. Books are cool not only for what’s on the inside, but also for themselves :)

I found these pictures at booklust. A new favorite book blog. Enjoy!

As a few of you may have heard, I’ve had a nasty 24 hour stomach flu for the past 24 hours. I’m just now starting to eat w/o nausea and I’m craving the oddest things: sunchips, chocolate frozen yogurt and sour candy straws. Weird, eh?

Thanks go to John and the kids for nursing me through the awfulness of this flu…

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
