Books You Can't Stop Reading and my first crush

[Michelle Apostolides]

| *The Blue Castle* is for the times when I feel as if I'll never find
| that special someone.
Ebs, can you send me the details for this please ? Might be just the
thing for me to read right now....

My favourite books to never stop reading? They are both children's
books.

The first is Ballet Shoes. I still want to live in a house at the far
end of the Cromwell Road. We have a Cromwell Road in Brentwood but it
isn't very nice. Still, a girl can dream !

The second book is The Swish Of The Curtain by Pamela Brown. I always
imagine I'm Maddie. Still my favourite character !

As for my crush, well this is truly embarrassing !

When I was 12, there used to be an American private detective drama
called Simon and Simon. Does this ring any bells with anyone ?

I fancied the younger blonde blue eyed brother - so much for individual
taste !! The reason I remember the crush so vividly was that it was just
before the second operation I had on my Achilles tendons, which were too
tight and had to be snipped to help me walk properly, followed by six
weeks with my legs in plaster to set the legs correctly. Now, at this
time I was very needle phobic due to a previous encounter with drips as
a very small child, So I was very scared of this operation and used to
dream that this actor would be there on the day of the operation to sit
me on his lap and tell me everything was going to be OK. Funnily enough
(!) he didn't turn up. Still waiting after all these years....
