She was too busy reading everything else. So now I'm rereading them all myself and having an absolute blast. Tried reading them to my six and eight year old sons -- that definitely didn't work!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308680396802432722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-46623087385997998812012-11-23T21:28:53.884-06:002012-11-23T21:28:53.884-06:00Congratulations on the guest post, Julie!

I think the books did influence all three of us to become more independent and individualistic.Melinda Farrarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-32602680377303806422012-11-22T14:33:50.087-06:002012-11-22T14:33:50.087-06:00Ooo, I haven't heard of that book, Nadine.

I'll have to seek it out.<br /><br />As I've read the posts and comments in Sherry's series, I'm surprised by how many kept their childhood books for so long. Wonder what the current younger generation will keep if all their entertainment is electronic?Julie Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810771028650707072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-44528295459280941202012-11-22T13:15:48.813-06:002012-11-22T13:15:48.813-06:00I really loved this glimpse into your life as a pa...I really loved this glimpse into your life as a parent. What a delightful, strong daughter you have raised! <br /><br />I loved Nancy Drew, and I still love Alcott (I just downloaded the new book Marmee & Louisa, and I even traveled to her home). I came into my stepchildren's lives too late to share these books, but maybe the future grandchildren!Nadine Feldmanhttp://nadinefeldman.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-49905081360278887572012-11-22T13:02:54.580-06:002012-11-22T13:02:54.580-06:00Great post, Julie, and so true.

My mom once said that when I was a child, she did or said something to me in order to achieve a certain goal - make me do something. The result she got was the opposite of what she wanted. I guess it's universal.<br />My daughter was not adopted, I gave birth to her, but you can't find two more different women than her and me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-44644091663333388832012-11-22T08:36:22.542-06:002012-11-22T08:36:22.542-06:00Nancy Drew was a favourite of mine as well and I a...Nancy Drew was a favourite of mine as well and I admire all of you who kept your collections. Too many family moves as a child somehow meant heavy boxes of our books didn't get to come along.The reminiscences of Nancy on Sherry's blog have been great fun to read and I enjoyed your touching post.<br />Happy Thanksgiving/laundry day!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412397722654867858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533863427856291179.post-48525461123199846812012-11-21T23:09:16.471-06:002012-11-21T23:09:16.471-06:00I remember reading all the Nancy Drew books.
