Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen Books I've Read This Week

1. A Little Florida Lady, by Dorothy C. Paine

2. Five Happy Weeks, by Margaret E. Sangster

3. Little Sky-High, by Hezekiah Butterworth

4. Maida's Little Shop, by Inez Haynes Irwin

5. A Summer in Leslie Goldthwaite's Life, by Mrs. A.D.T. Whitney

6. Amanda. A Daughter of the Mennonites, by Anna Balmer Myers

7. Betty Gordon at Boarding School, by Alice Emerson

8. Betty Gordon at Mountain Camp, by Alice Emerson

9. Betty Wales, Sophomore, by Margaret Warde

10. Bob the Castaway, by Frank V. Webster

11. Brother and Sister, by Josephine Lawrence

12. Facing the World, by Horatio Alger, Jr.

13. Do and Dare, by Horatio Alger, Jr.

All of these books are available at no cost online from Blackmask in the "For Girls and Boys" section. They're not all particularly good, but I didn't hate any of them. I'm not sure why I'm so drawn to older children's literature, but I always have been. Perhaps it appeals to me because it shows a way of living that no longer exists and that I've never known.
