Ok, I'm a dork

The other day at school, one of the teachers told us to go through a bunch of her old books and take what we wanted. Now, I'm a wicked book nerd, so I was all over it.

All the books were ones that I remember from when I was in middle school. I got a bunch of Romona books and some Babysitters club and Nancy Drew and the one adult book I got was Anne of Green Gables which I just LOVE!

DH asked me why I would get all these books and I said it's because I want to have all kinds of books in the house for when we have kids or have nieces or nephews over. We never had many books in my house when I was growing up, so I want to make sure we do in ours.

Oh, and to make me even dorkier, I actually read Forever Romona and I have to say, I still liked it. Hehehe.

  • I would have been all over those books too.  I LOVED Ramona.
  • If you are a dork, then so am I! I loved all of those series so much! I teach middle school (7th grade English) and sadly, those series are not popular anymore! I think the Ramona books are popular with 4th grade, and Anne of Green Gables are popular with 5th and 6th grade...so I don't really get to talk about those books with my students.  I would LOOOVE to re-read all of those! I always try to read as many young adult novels as I can each summer to have more in common with the kids...
  • I LOVED Ramon books!  I would have taken them too.  I actually considered ordering them recently from the Children's Book of the Month Club.
  • Um, can I borrow the BSC books??
  • I loved BSC books! I think I had them all at one point.
  • No way you are so not a dork! I highly appreciate that you will share your love of reading with your little ones :)
  • I would have done the same thing!  How wonderful you were able to get all those books!  I LOVED the Anne of Green Gables books, and babysitters' club, and Ramona!  I must admit though that I didn't like the Nancy Drew ones so much.  It's so silly but they used the word "chum" a lot in the ones I read and it drove me crazy.  I was more of a Trixie Belden girl myself!
