I look forward to reading what you are thinking about. And don't worry, I still have trouble getting the layout just right.

I have been trying, over the past five or six years, to do just that. <br /><br />Here is a link to a post I wrote recounting my childhood reading misadventures. Maybe we should compare notes.<br /><br />http://bellebookandcandle.blogspot.com/2012/06/childhood-reading-history.htmlBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-55086712844637515692014-03-24T16:43:18.794-04:002014-03-24T16:43:18.794-04:00I think there has been a resurgence of interest in...I think there has been a resurgence of interest in Harriet due to her 50-year anniversary. There is also a movie which I plan on renting. I would like to see her on the screen while the book is still fresh in my mind.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-83086657762637712942014-03-24T16:41:30.902-04:002014-03-24T16:41:30.902-04:00Harriet is a fascinating young girl.

It was one of my favorite books when I was growing up. Yes, we've still got our notebooks, don't we? I haven't written down any conversations, but that sounds like fun.

I was a devout Nancy Drew fan and spent a lot of time hanging around old book stores, deserted mansion, and other places I thought looked like they might harbor a mystery.<br /><br />By the way, I've started my own blog (http://planetjoan.blogspot.com/), if you think you'd like to know a little more about me. Also, I'm a novice blogger, so adding bells and whistles will take me some time. I consider it a major accomplishment to have posted a photo!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-44421050301003733632014-03-24T08:43:41.646-04:002014-03-24T08:43:41.646-04:00I don't think I've read this, either--or a...I don't think I've read this, either--or at least I don't remember reading it.

When it came out, I was already in high school. I read it about six years after it was published, in a children's literature class in college (I was an elementary education major). Since then, I've re-read "Harriet the Spy" several times, Belle, enjoying it anew each time. With your posting, I may just have to pull it down from the shelf and visit with my favorite spy once more.Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.com
