Even at nearly 40 my wife will still occasionally pick me up a Betty and Veronica Double Digest for a sweet surprise gift. I always had...still have...the hugest crush on Betty. She was the ideal woman! :) Don't let people look at you funny, the Archie series is wonderful.Carl V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-32133492623684551612008-05-06T03:42:00.000-07:002008-05-06T03:42:00.000-07:00Twilight is a good book.

I used to buy the digests all the time. It is ridiculous how expensive they have gotten! I now have the hankering to go pick one or two up from the grocery store and revel in some nostaglic pleasure.Carl V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15948764216438379394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-19272828618701870502007-05-19T09:30:00.000-07:002007-05-19T09:30:00.000-07:00Good list. Not a fan of Nathaniel Hawthorne since i loathed SCARLET LETTER, but LITTLE WOMEN was one of the things i nicked from my grandfather's library when i was a wee heathen LOL. I loved it. TWILIGHT *sigh* oh Edward... *double sigh* SLAMMERSKIN is fantastic and i shouldn't start with Harry Potter since i wouldn't be able to stop! :PHarlothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07729051319150311924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-90195535776849271292007-04-24T09:30:00.000-07:002007-04-24T09:30:00.000-07:00Ruth Mannning-Sanders collections (the dozens of them) are wonderful.

I shall have to put it on my list. "A Book of Dwarfs" sounds great too! "Forever Amber" used to my mom's favorite book for many years...<BR/><BR/>Nice post, Amelia!Lotus Readshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-36073114316387578432007-04-08T20:29:00.000-07:002007-04-08T20:29:00.000-07:00I've got Slammerkin on the shelf - just came across it, tonight, and thought, "Hmmm." I'll have to bump it up on the list, thanks. The Birth House is on my wish list, too. :)Bookfoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-2400250032729278582007-04-05T13:00:00.000-07:002007-04-05T13:00:00.000-07:00I love it!

If so, I am seriously missing out.... I looked at the book on Saturday, it was at Costco... [about nine times cheaper than anywhere else in the world], and I <I>still</I> did not buy it. I have never heard anyone say anything but really positive things about her book.<BR/>What is my <I>problem?</I><BR/>Is it that cover?<BR/>Is it my fear of [inflicting] pregnancy? Is that what keeps me from cracking her open?<BR/><BR/>She must be an amazing author.<BR/>I've got to read her.ciprianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00254338542624853230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-59452858745719712572007-03-31T09:49:00.000-07:002007-03-31T09:49:00.000-07:00Great List! I have a secret affinity towards V. C. Andrews!! Not the best books around, but they are so much fun to read!! <BR/><BR/>I read Forever Amber last year. Good book...but Amber started to annoy me senseless by the end of the book!Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-51840049768885853272007-03-30T19:00:00.000-07:002007-03-30T19:00:00.000-07:00What a fun list. Slammerkin was good, and Crimson Petal, too! I will have to look for the Nathaniel Hawthorne story--I have only read Scarlet Letter!

I cannot believe that you mention <B>Slammerkin</B>!<BR/>It is one of my favorite, as in TOP TEN novels of all time! And so few readers are reading Emma Donoghue. It is a tragedy. She is superb.<BR/>All the best to you Amelia.<BR/>-- Cipciprianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00254338542624853230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19640000.post-32932398796563731302007-03-30T13:24:00.000-07:002007-03-30T13:24:00.000-07:00Love me some Stephenie Meyer.
