dsmith Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I absolutely loved these when I was younger!! My mom came home from a garage sale with a set of them, and I spent the next few weeks happily reading them all. I may have to buy a few for my kindle. Thanks for posting! I don't know how they made the list, but a bunch of the Cherry Ames books are on the list! (Anyone else read them when they were younger? War Nurse, Jungle Nurse, etc.? Loved them!)

teeniebeenie6 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Still trying to decide what to buy. Anyone else? There are just so many good books. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewaka Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you for all these links. I bought several more books tonight, including the one on giftedness. Even though I was a gifted child, I could use a little help with DD2 who is clearly gifted, perhaps 2E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Me too, but I found out my local library has quite a few of the titles I was interested in. And someone else put a hold ahead of me for Reading Like a Writer, hmm, I wonder if it's a member here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 And someone else put a hold ahead of me for Reading Like a Writer, hmm, I wonder if it's a member here! I'm waiting for that one to be returned too! There's another one -- Word Painting, maybe I have to wait for. That's okay. I've got quite a stack near my bedside and plenty of schoolwork I should be doing instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
