As in I was obsessed, and when they showed the final episode of the TV show on the Danish channel (when I was about 11) I went up to my room and cried. I wanted to BE Laura... and I was always getting my sister to play "Laura and blind Mary" - including tying scarves over my eyes so I couldn't see and walk around the house like that. <br /><br />I also really liked Anne of Green Gables, and I read a TON of horse books.Rebekka @ Becky's Kaleidoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561986047548051036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-5538275002717499222011-04-11T10:44:21.111-04:002011-04-11T10:44:21.111-04:00:D

I didn't want to possibly ruin a great childhood memory.<br /><br />I haven't read the book in years, but it was so freaking heartbreaking as a kid! I think it was the first book I read that had death in it.<br /><br />I've never heard of <i>Mandie</i>. I read <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>, though it wasn't a fave. Oh, the <i>Hardy Boys</i>. I liked them too!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-35925654396983621742011-04-08T08:47:45.367-04:002011-04-08T08:47:45.367-04:00Susanne,

It was pretty decent...sometimes weird, I couldn't tell when it was supposed to take place. At first I thought it was a little older, like when the book actually takes place, then AnnaSophia Robb walks in all Avril-flavored punk, then a teacher with <b>zero boundaries</b> makes me think it's the 70s or so...yeah. But really, pretty good movie. The book was also good, obviously. But I find myself more able to watch the movie over again than I am able to read the book...even if I do still break down and cry a lot every time.<br /><br />I used to read Nancy Drew. I never actually <b>had</b> any of them, though. I had a few <i>Mandie</i> books the church gave away as prizes sometimes (Christian Nancy Drew, takes place maybe around the same time as <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>?), and a few of the <i>Hardy Boys</i> books..more of the new series than the shiny blue hardcovers. Sad, the older ones are a lot better. But the new paperback ones much cheaper.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382787889525110718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-21440495324952224122011-04-07T18:01:31.710-04:002011-04-07T18:01:31.710-04:00Loved seeing your favorites and thinking of Younge...Loved seeing your favorites and thinking of Younger Amber reading them...especially under the covers with a flashlight! :DSusannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-1823836521326616652011-04-07T17:53:47.692-04:002011-04-07T17:53:47.692-04:00OMG BUNNICULA!
