My middle schooler is an avid reader as well as am I now that I am adult. I enjoyed Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Babysitters club as a kid and then lost my love of reading until now. I blog a lot about books now as it's my favorite "me time" pastime these days.<br /><br />Stopping by from SITS!

I have vague memories of Nancy Drew and Little House series but nothing else comes to mind until my rebel stage when I was about 16 and buried myself in Black Like Me, Malcolm X, and other books about racism. The strongest book memory I have though is crying when Rhett told Scarlett that he didn't give a "damn" at the end of Gone With the Wind. I'd still like to rewrite the end of that one!Beth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-49215105517055954192013-06-16T20:12:30.329-04:002013-06-16T20:12:30.329-04:00Too funny.

I have to find a way to capture that again, to reintroduce her to all the wonders in books. Trying to balance limits on computer/ipod, with getting some of these awesome titles into her hands.

I remember being that age, it's a pretty magical time. All these books you listed just took me back down memory lane, I loved the Baby Sitters Club and the Chronicles of Narnia. And the Box Car Children! I think she must be a smart girl.Steviehttp://joyinthemidstof.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12565507.post-45202615975878282562013-06-15T09:15:25.887-04:002013-06-15T09:15:25.887-04:00My favorite book while growing up was A Little Pri...My favorite book while growing up was A Little Princess. I still have my worn out copy! <br /><br />I LOVE your idea of keeping track of favorite books. I keep a notebook that I jot down quotes from the kids and fun things they have done.
