I am going to participate in the Maud Hart Lovelace Reading Challenge, hosted by A Library is a Hospital for the Mind. I went to college with Book Club Girl, so I have been hearing about the Betsy-Tacy books for years. It was so exciting that she got to play such a pivotal role in the reissue of the high school books last year. And I was thrilled to finally read about Betsy and Tacy myself. I loved Heaven to Betsy and Betsy in Spite of Herself. Somehow the books both seem charmingly old-fashioned and surprisingly modern. And I love the descriptions of the food. I keep meaning to try onion sandwiches. I am late to the challenge, which ends October 31, but I am going to read Betsy Was a Junior and, if time permits, Betsy and Joe.
I’m so glad you finally met Betsy Kate and that you’re reading on in the series as well! I’m hoping to corral some of our Middlebury friends at Mitali Perkins event on 11/13 at Brookline Booksmith in MA. If you can make up a reason to go to Massachusetts – join us! if not, see you next week for lunch 😉
I’m really enjoying Betsy was a Junior. But how can Joe date someone other than Betsy!
