I didn’t grow up(well, ever I guess) in the period but my children did and I read their books with them. Loved the “Great Brain”.

There are so many that I haven’t read that I am considering just giving up “grown-up” books for awhile and reading these.

Great list! I love the memories it evokes. I was glad to see #70. It was such fun to read. I hope these stories plant fresh memories in a new generation.

Ha, you rock. Oh wait…. Well, you know what mean. The older I get, the more I revel in my inner ordinary. But also, sometimes, I scream

Boy, do I recognize the feelings here. There’s nothing quite as surprising as leaving the house, feeling like you’re ROCKING it…you feel GOOD. Then, you catch a glimpse of yourself just before the grocery store doors part and you think, “Ugh…she could have at least changed her shirt!” and “Oh, crap. That’s me.” I know that scream, that screech. I know that feeling of, “Is this my life now?” Most days, I’m fine with it. During other fleeting moments, I wonder why I’m not sitting in a little cafe in Paris or strolling some exotic beach.

This one really resonated with me! We are sister (rock star) spirits!

That’s exactly how we met – you setting us up on a play date with Colin!! I miss that place and the fun times we used to have there.
