Ever come across that book that takes you down memory lane in a heartbeat? This one took me back when I stumbled across it. I borrowed it once a month as a kid from our family friends; when they moved it went with them and my monthly reread of it came to an end. I couldn't walk away from it when I saw it. My reread last night transported me back a few decades.

Lcsmcat I had that set! It was a birthday present, and I got a volume in the mail about once a month. I still love books and getting mail. 😄 7y
Cathythoughts That's a lovely memory 💫 7y
Jess_Read_This @Lcsmcat I was hoping to find another Litten who had read this! ❤️ I remember the excitement of mail as a kid... I still get that way when I get fun non-bill related mail as an adult. 😄 7y

Jess_Read_This @Cathythoughts Thank you ❤️ 7y
Lcsmcat @Jess_Read_This I learned about lacrosse from this book. My son loved them too, so I will probably pass them on to his daughter when she gets a little older. 7y
Purrfectpages Omg I have this exact book! I added it to my classroom library at school! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Purrfectpages ❤️❤️That makes me so happy to hear! It really spurred my interest in Native American history and I thought gives a nice overview of a tribe living in an area of the United States. I hope the kids in your class enjoy it! ❤️ 7y
Purrfectpages @Jess_Read_This I actually have a few from this same series. No idea how I got them as a kid. I'll have to take a pic and tag you when I go back to school! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Purrfectpages That is just so neat!! I can't wait to see them. I haven't read any other books in the series. This was the only one out friends had. I'd love to see the others too! 7y

🔊🎧In which I learn that Donne's poem about a Flea is about a young man seeking to convince a maid to have premarital sex with him. The flea bit you; then it bit me. Our blood is mingled in the flea in a union, like sex. What can go wrong? The fair maid kills the flea. 🤣

This book makes me feel like I never learnt any history in school at all (and very little since) 😕 Lancashire Cotton Famine/Panic brought on by civil war in America? How have I never even heard of this? #learningstuff

rockpools @PurpleyPumpkin It really is! But I'm reading it v slowly because there's just so much to take in! 8y
