I'll have to look for it the next time I'm at the library.<br /><br />I pretty much only remember reading Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary, non-fiction books about witchcraft, and then Sweet Valley High. But. If I read along with you, perhaps I will remember more than I currently do.clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12944084489177974511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-88640710643860333742014-09-07T06:45:28.646-07:002014-09-07T06:45:28.646-07:00I actually read Jacob Have I Loved numerous times ...I actually read Jacob Have I Loved numerous times as a kid. My aunt had given it to me, but whether or not I would have picked it up on my own... that's extremely debatable. But yes, it was EXACTLY the "there's a favoured child and I'm not it" that appealed to me and really made this book resonate with me. I still remember some of the scenes quite vividly where the main character feels her sister is very much the favoured one.<br /><br />Haven't read this one in years... I wonder how much I would enjoy it if I read it now...Courtneyhttp://books.moonsoar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-76678054672048072212014-09-04T04:36:18.341-07:002014-09-04T04:36:18.341-07:00I looked at the list for the 70s only, because tha...I looked at the list for the 70s only, because that's the most relevant decade for me and I found these I've read:<br /><br />The Westing Game<br />Bridge to Terabithia<br />Ramona and her Father<br />Philip Hall Likes Me, I Reckon Maybe<br />The Slave Dancer<br />Frog and Toad Together<br />Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIHM<br />Summer of the Swans<br /><br />Most of these were books I really liked. Maybe I was a serious, earnest sort of kid. I didn't count another few familiar titles I thought I might have read because I might have just seen them on library or book store shelves so many times I just thought I had read them.StephLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888019478250380270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-88819427919399731722014-09-04T03:16:57.494-07:002014-09-04T03:16:57.494-07:00My librarian was ALWAYS trying to get me to read J...My librarian was ALWAYS trying to get me to read Jacob Have I Loved! What IS it with that particular book?
