This week's Friday Finds are actually not new. I took a trip back to my hometown earlier this week and while there I went hunting in the attic for a box of books from my childhood. I was ecstatic to find the box and in it not only the books I remembered owning (the Betsy series by Maud Hart Lovelace), but several other books I'd long since forgotten (Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm).For fun, I've decided to start re-reading the Betsy series, so stay tuned for reviews as I work my way through the series.
Also while digging through boxes I discovered my reading lists from 1994-1996. There were books on that list that I don't even remember reading! Books like Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott and Pollyana by Eleanor Porter.
Although I haven't had any time to read for over a week and my trip wasn't a relaxing vacation by any sense of the word, I did enjoy the break from reading and now I'm ready to dive back in and start posting my thoughts. Watch for reviews starting early next week.

Book finds are always fun! It looks like you scored. That is one of the reasons why I like libraries so much... I can leave with a stack of books and not paid one cent (well, not in taxes anyways). It is fun. Hope you enjoy reading your new finds. :)
I wish I would have kept reading lists when I was growing up (or even as a grown up). I just started writing down what I read about a year and a half ago.
I loved the Betsy series!! I am so jealous that you own them. They are the only "series" of books that I remember reading as a child. Now there are a ton of series available!
