At that time, all seven books were out - and good thing! - because I read one after the other, after the other! And so did he. And then we read them all aloud with my daughter who was a little young to read them on her own. Sheesh. Not my thing. What was I thinking!!??!Barbara Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547166495514562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330251478298712601.post-8530257129420296512011-07-13T09:25:46.267-04:002011-07-13T09:25:46.267-04:00Thanks for the comments :) It's so amazing how...Thanks for the comments :) It's so amazing how a book series could spawn such a HUGE fanbase.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728905100557593958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330251478298712601.post-32101841135113496652011-07-12T23:57:41.193-04:002011-07-12T23:57:41.193-04:00Rae and Sarah -- thanks so much for posting!Rae and Sarah -- thanks so much for posting!S.P.

Also - give Redwall another chance! I LOVED that series. :)BookGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620998836239969062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5330251478298712601.post-43747561037172471872011-07-12T19:23:32.250-04:002011-07-12T19:23:32.250-04:00I, too, feel a connection with Jo in a similar way...I, too, feel a connection with Jo in a similar way.
