Another one just placed on my list: a book by David Lipsky, about a road trip he and David Foster Wallce took together, called Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself.

Christina, I think that's Stephen King's son's book, it got good reviews, but it too is on my list.

Library opens in half an hour!

I LOVED the Happy Hollisters!!!! I read every single one of them at the library when I was a kid!!! I've never met anyone else who read those!!! wooooooooooo woooooooooo.


Wasn't it cool that one of them was named "Pam"?  :)

I still have all my originals from the 60's, except for a few.  They smell so musty, lol.  They actually sell them on eBay, and I bought a couple to try to complete the series.  I'll be passing them down to the granddaughter soon....though they're so lame by today's standards, I don't know if she'll even read any of them.

I read a fun book a couple of years ago - Honeymoon with My Brother. An easy read of a guy who takes lemons and makes lemonade. He gets jilted at the altar - all the guests are already on their way. He has the wedding anyway... kind of. And then he and his brother go on his honeymoon. It's a fun read.

Best,
sunshine

(Level - did you order the books at the library - you can usually do that you know)

Has anyone read "Heart Shaped Box" yet? I'm curious about your reaction. (can't decide whether to buy it or not...)

Read it and loved it before I knew "Stephen King's son" (Joe Hill) wrote it. I also have really liked his other books "20th Century Ghosts" and the new one "Horns." I've bought them all myself. Highly recommend!

luci: how does Hill "sound", compared to King?

The Boxcar Children?
Homer Price?
Blue Willow?
The Velvet Room?
Elizabite?

I have just finished a novel, and am casting about for the next one. Any favorites?

You haven't read the series? You're in for a treat. I envy you discovering them.

And I thought I was the only person still living to remember the Happy Hollisters. Tried to interest my daughter in them when young but she had no truck with them. Although she did enjoy the Boxcar Children.
