Re: Based on #9

*The big one is anything Diana Wynne Jones, especially the Chrestomanci books and the Dalemark Quartet (which I just reread this year and I was spotting all the things that unknowingly were a direct influence on my writing).

*Edgar Eager and E. Nesbitt books.

*Rumer Godden's doll books- The Doll's House, and Miss Happiness & Miss Flower/Little Plum.

*The Betsy-Tacy books; these were favorites of my mom's (and possibly her mom?), so I'm one of the few people these days who read the books where the girls grow up and travel and get married. I think most people now stop at Betsy & Tacy Go Downtown.

*Various LM Montgomery stuff, and not just AoGG and Emily. Like, A Tangled Web and The Blue Castle. And like with Betsy-Tacy, we read the later Anne books. I swear, we did read things that were published after 1960 too...

*Brian Froud's Faeries book!

*Okay, this is the odd one out in my list, but I loved the Peanut Butter and Jelly series. I think I had 1-7. The Halloween story was the best one; actually, that was also true for the Gymnasts Club series.

So you were a big fan of fantasy? Also, those Peanut Butter and Jelly book covers are like....classic 80 styles book covers.

Yep, lots of fantasy. I mean I would really read about anything, I just could not get enough books (luckily, this is the natural condition in my family and I hae two older sisters, so I read all their books too). But when I picked out books for myself, like from the Scholastic Book Faire, it was usually fantasy.

I didn't read a lot of modern-day kid books though, like Babysitters Club or Sweet Valley High. PB&J was an outlier- I read the first one from my classroom library one day. Middle sister was very into Elizabeth Levy's The Gymnasts series, though.

Betsy-Tacy! I don't think I read every single one of them, but I certainly read up to where the girls get married. I really enjoyed those. You're right that no a lot of people seem to have read them.

I remember the Peanut Butter and Jelly books, I think I still have some of them buried somewhere in my room. I remember liking the Halloween one and the last one where the library gets flooded the best. My sister used to read the Gymnasts Club but I never got into those.
