In many instances they are re-reads. In others I have some positive memory associated with it.

It is from a collection call The Children's Hour. My favorite is the 5th book called Best Loved Poems. I have the entire set from childhood but this one I cherish and even found another copy to share with the new granddaughter that will arrive in September. I love, love, love books and I LOVE to own them. I too give a good many away but if I really enjoy reading them, hardbacks only, I will keep them. My other fav is Chiefs by Stuart Woods and I have everything he has ever written.Jill of All Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075357751662738806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-81270584957965289822012-06-15T06:27:56.616-05:002012-06-15T06:27:56.616-05:00Oh!

Image Cascade reissued them in paperback, but I love my copies with the rounded edges to the pages and the library stamps.

There are a couple that are near and dear to my heart, though. The first print book with my name listed as the editor: The Fae Dragon Chronicles, Book One: Love Chosen, and the other is a book written by an author I adore: Danann Frost Falls From Grace by Joanne Valiukas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
