I don't often go back to those books I read as a child but the few times that I have (Harriet the Spy and The Mixed Up Files..., I have enjoyed it...mostly because it takes me back to that feeling of being a kid and loving a book.Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927098956199060247.post-38968241776877545532018-04-17T12:37:19.972-07:002018-04-17T12:37:19.972-07:00I think perhaps many books written for young peopl...I think perhaps many books written for young people would be interesting to reread. Judy Blume seems to be one of those authors whose books remain fresh, maybe even more appreciated after some years of distance.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927098956199060247.post-13083383719591599862018-04-17T10:42:48.642-07:002018-04-17T10:42:48.642-07:00Thanks for the comment Kathy.

And as an adult as you say maybe we can appreciate these books more as opposed to when we were teenagers and just a little bit too old for the book.Kathy's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967595794483824444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927098956199060247.post-1609370470085482932018-04-16T14:30:29.774-07:002018-04-16T14:30:29.774-07:00Thanks for the comment Lark!
