Butterfinger
Racketty-Packetty House | Frances Hodgson Burnett
post image
Pickpick

A pure joy. Early 20th century Toy Story. Raggedy family of cheerful dolls versus a new, boring, and haughty family of dolls. The haughty ones learn to love the shabby ones right before the Princess rescues them from being burned.

I didn't know Burnett moved to Tennessee as a child.

#ChildrensClassicRead @TheBookHippie I am so grateful for this list.

Going back to the days of security and no worries. Curled up and listening to the rain. Frances Hodgson Burnett was always one I usually had in my hands when I needed comfort. #ChildrensClassicRead @TheBookHippie

White Stallion of Lipizza | Marguerite Henry

Pickpick

Who knew that adored author Marguerite Henry spent her last 2 decades writing and relaxing in Rancho Santa Fe, a community known for its horse ranches & riding trails—and happens to be in my neighborhood! So off I went to the Historical Society where Henry‘s photo is featured on their wall among RSF‘s most famous residents including Bing Crosby & Howard Hughes! Will be reading this Henry bio next by Susan Friedland.

MemoirsForMe @mrp27 I live on author trivia! 😁 4mo
MemoirsForMe @TheBookHippie The gentleman at the Historical Society even gave us a book his grandmother wrote about the city‘s rich memories. And boy, we sure do need books like Henry‘s to lift our spirits these days. 4mo
TheBookHippie @MemoirsForMe oh how lovely!!! 4mo
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks I LOVE learning fun author facts, especially in my neighborhood! I‘m new to Henry, but she‘s becoming a hero for me too! 🙌🏻 4mo

Several of these are shorter reads so I think I can make most of it hapoen, however, my reading is moody so you never know what else might come up! 📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚

The story that turned me into a fanatic lover of detective fiction. Nancy Drew embodies the kind of girl we all wanted to be: beautiful, beyond clever, adventurous, inquisitive, friendly, I mean she even drives a convertible at 18! The story holds up well, though I found I was quite nostalgic while reading it. The puzzle is easier to solve as an adult (esp. with the title), but it doesn't make it any less fun. #NancyDrewBR #ChildrensClassicRead

Librarybelle So true!! 2y
TheBookHippie It was what they call good clean fun- right? 2y

dabbe @TheBookHippie I admit I was surprised at her being locked in the closet; I thought the thugs were quite rough for an ND mystery! 🤩 (edited) 2y
TheBookHippie @dabbe well I mean …. 👀🤣 they did it to children as punishment around these parts - the “Christians” 2y
dabbe @TheBookHippie Why am I not surprised? Now that you mention it, my mom did try and lock my sister in her bedroom to “keep her out of trouble.“ She just escaped through the window--until they put locks on that as well. #sucharebel #thosewerenotthegoodoldays (edited) 2y
tpixie @dabbe the locked closet was a little tense 😬 2y
dabbe @tpixie It was, wasn't it? I kept thinking how I didn't remember such a tense seen in a Nancy Drew book, but boy, was I wrong! 🤣 2y
tpixie @dabbe 👍🏻. BTW- I love that photo!! 2y
dabbe @tpixie I thought it was kinda cool! 🤩🤗😘 2y
