Hey then that was worth it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cindy To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:40 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Cherry Ames books I loved those and the Bobbsey Twins books, as well ad the Nancy Drew series. There was an item in the news a long time ago about a woman who was locked in a car trunk (I think she'd been kidnapped but maybe it was accidental and she escaped because of what she'd read when Nancy Drew was in a similar situation and show she got out Cindy Wish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites below Wish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+List Books Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List --- On Mon, 8/17/09, Valerie Maples <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Valerie Maples <vlmaples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Cherry Ames books To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, August 17, 2009, 5:27 PM Isn't that the truth? I am adding them for the next generation, but truthfully, I am enjoying them as much as I did as a young girl myself. I had a voracious appetite for reading, and the Cherry Ames books in particular were a favorite. I think I read virtually all of the Nancy Drew books, as well as a good chunk of the Hardy boys, and then I moved on to Agatha Christie. I read very little these days, so the pleasure of reading childhood favorites and adding to the collection so others might enjoy has been a really nice reprieve from my normal daily duties. By the way, I use speech recognition software and I am a beta tester on the Mac side as well as a user on the PC side, so if you ever see funky words that don't make sense, it means I did a terrible job of proofreading my own e-mail. Unfortunately I usually miss at least one in every message, that's the problem when it gets so good that you barely check what was typed. Smiles Happy reading everyone!
