Oh thank you thank you thank you!!! I have been searching my mind for the real name of The Girl of the Limberlost for ages and ages, and couldn’t find it, and then found your post and there it is! Amazing…I will never forget that book and how much I loved it, and now I can reread it! I of course love Franny and Zooey as well, and cannot recommend highly enough Cat’s Eye (perhaps for older girls…us now maybe?), The Diddakoi, and Bridge to Terabithia. There are so many more, I know, that I can’t think of here. They’ll come to me as the days grow longer and lazier!

“the goats” by brock cole. i *wish* i’d read it when i was younger. its a sweet sweet coming of age/ode to nature/back to the land fantasy. if you read it, make sure you get the edition that includes the watercolor painted cover and drawings by the author.

i used to love to read outside in the backyard, spread out on a blanket cuz the crabgrass was itchy.

[...] (from Valerie and Her Week of Wonders- I want that verandah, and that pie, and those dolls, and that outfit and her hair- okay? Thanks.) I’ve been reading, reading, reading. It’s all I want to do lately.. I’ll post my list of favorites soon, but in the meantime- go read Mlle. Verhext’s post about magic books to read whilst curled in the crooks of trees! [...]

Have you read Singing Creek Where the Willows Grow by Opal Whitely? I’m guessing yes (and I probably spelled that wrong).

If you have not, check out a series called Ringing Cedars – there are 9 books. The first one is Anastasia, by Vladimir Megre. I think you will like them.

Laura: I just re-read it last year, so dreamy. Have you read Emily of New Moon? It has the same flavor!
