   I had a few of those and remember more…my grandmother got me a membership to “Best Loved Children’s Books” which eventually became “Best Loved Girls Books.” I loved Rosemary du Jardin and Janet Lambert and Lenora M. Weber. *sigh*

   I had “Spooky Magic!” I even remember trying a few of the tricks in it. When I was a kid, I read anything and everything I could get my hands on, including cereal boxes and the jokes in my dad’s carpenter’s union magazine. I was blessed to live in a family that valued reading and a house where you could sit down in any chair and find something to read at hand.

   None of them! I think that labels me a) as British and b) older than you.

   Perhaps the better question would be–how many of these do you still own?

   I recognize at least a dozen titles as ones I read–I still have at least two or three.

   I was born in 1984 and I had some of those growing up. Sure, they used to belong to my aunt, but they were on my bookshelf, so that totally counts.

   I had most of them, and yes, I feel very dated seeing the covers but also warm & fuzzy. I think of these books fondly now. Wonder if my pre-teen daughter will feel the same about “You are SO not coming to my Bat Mitzvah” that was lying around the house last week.
