I guess I was one of those odd girls who never got into the horse books. Like Lucy in high school, I read a lot of adult books. I really enjoyed the Irving Stone stories about presidents. How interesting that you are sort of related to Elizabeth Howard, Lucy.<br /><br />BTW, that wasn't a rambling post.

I still want to visit those islands to see the pony roundup (and sneak a pony home!). I agree there weren't a lot of options for YA readers in our day, and I was happy when I could go into the adult section of the library. I remember reading lots of books by Irving Stone (I think that was the author) who wrote presidential Lucy Naylor Kubashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595948650454049233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-78344546357796738722012-03-29T11:36:33.450-04:002012-03-29T11:36:33.450-04:00I was a horse crazy pre-teen and teenager.

But we did have magazines - I remember reading Seventeen Magazine (long before I was Seventeen) and devouring the articles on how to improve myself. But books? Not so much. My kids and grandkids read a lot more than I did back then.Patricia Kiyonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763838993363110626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-4907322542406068992012-03-26T22:09:54.237-04:002012-03-26T22:09:54.237-04:00Ah, Annette.

Until then it was teen romance in the 50's nd Little Women. Middle grade readers weren't given real attention until the 1980s with Francine pascal's Sweet Valley Twins and the Choose Your Own Adventure series that we loved as kids. You hit almost all of my favorites. I'd add Anthony Liz Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070438942917046385noreply@blogger.com
