Since I'm a teacher I have my summmers free and reading is one of my absolute favorite things to do.

I've read books by a couple of the authors but haven't heard of any of the books you mentioned. Thanks for these suggestions.

I had never heard of the book before last Sunday when a friend at church asked me if I had read it, and when I said I hadn't, she promised this Sunday to bring it for me to read. :-D She LOVES the book!

I'm definitely going to look for all of those! I've very much enjoyed several of Gene Stratton Porter's books...like <i>The Girl of the Limberlost</i>, <i>Laddie</i>, <i>The Harvester</i> (I really want to read that one again...it's been a long time), but I'd never heard of <i>The Magic Garden?</i> before...but it sounds simply delicious!<br/><br/><i>I still wish I had the pleasure of reading for the first time.</i><br/><br/>How funny...I was just thinking the same thing about the <i>Anne</i> books today! I'm re-re-re-reading them and though they seem to get better each time, sometimes it would be nice if I didn't know what was going to happen...but then if I didn't know, I guess I'd lose the delight of anticipating it too!<br/><br/>Thanks again for the recommendations...and if you have anymore, I'd love to know what they are...good, beautiful and wholesome novels are hard to find...<br/><br/>Have a glorious rest of summer!
