[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Books I can't stop reading

[Sheryll Townsend]

I know I'm a bit behind you all in answering this one,
but what the heck, I'll reply anyway.

No one's mentioned the books I re-read the most
growing up: The 'Katy' books by...darn, I don't recall
the author and I've loaned out the books (that'll
teach me!). Four books to the series, starting with
'What Katy Did' and ending with 'Clover', the last
being my least favourite, as it's more about Katy's
sister.

The Borrowers - I think I still have most of these,
hidden deep in Nyssa's room somewhere.

I used to read in phases, working my through a series
of books, always in order. The Oz books, the Bobbsey
Twins (have a few of these from the 1920s), Nancy
Drew, The Hardy Boys, The Five Little Peppers (still
have a couple of those ones as well). I didn't really
discover Winnie the Pooh until I had Nyssa, but now
the scene where Tigger fights the tablecoth gets me
laughing every time!

My most read book? The Journeyer by Gary Jennings and
The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning (?). The
latter I've had to replace 3 times, as I rarely get it
back and have had to stop loaning it out. I know, I
said book, singular, but heck, there's too many to
narrow it to one!

One of the drawbacks of living in a small house is
that there isn't enough room for books. I gave away 23
bags of books when I moved here. It was sheer torture
having to decide which to keep.
