I just adore the Mitford series, so I need to pull those books back off the shelf, too, and refresh my memory.<br /><br />Those bookmarks are such a great idea! I think I'm going to use them for myself! :)Bluerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680170638396181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-84159715460568935132014-06-26T01:39:59.002-04:002014-06-26T01:39:59.002-04:00I'm hoping to start King Solomon's Mines t...I'm hoping to start King Solomon's Mines tomorrow.

I've only read one other book by that author that had a couple of weird things in it - I don't even remember what book - but I was curious as to whether all his books were like that. Thanks for reminding me about Jimmy - I need to pull it out some time.<br /><br />I read/listened to The Woman in White earlier this year and loved it.<br /><br />Mitford is always fun to visit.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-74878789942337854012014-06-25T14:12:05.602-04:002014-06-25T14:12:05.602-04:00i love your printable bookmarks!i love your printable bookmarks!schulmanarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871979005940552640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-60865645268029970122014-06-25T12:39:02.043-04:002014-06-25T12:39:02.043-04:00Hmm...maybe I should get an abridged version of Ki...Hmm...maybe I should get an abridged version of King Solomon's Mines myself. I have to get over the notion that I'm "cheating" somehow if I do that. ha. But who cares? :) It might be that way or no way at all. <br /><br />Both my daughters loved the Beverly Cleary books, as did I when I was younger. Good memories.
