Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Did anyone outside of the Chicago area read a book called Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?
Does Southern Wisconsin count? I remember enjoying it thoroughly, but I don't remember much more than the bare outline. And the narrator's First Confession.

Punishingly Intricate
But also my mom's old Victoria Holts and pretty much anything she had around -- a lot of those big family saga books like Evergreen that were big at the end of the 1970s
Oh my gosh, me too! From about age 10-14? something like that. I didn't read horror though. too scary!
I am also too old for Sweet Valley.

Victoria Holt is also somebody else - both of whose books I read.
I think that the Sweet Valley High books were after my time.
I read some Nancy Drew, some Bobbsey Twins, all of the Marguerite Henry and Walter Farley I could get my hands on - ditto for Jim Kjelgaard (Big Red, Irish Red, Outlaw Red among others).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
King of the Wind! Still a favorite, as are the Farleys, before he incorporated the space aliens wtf?
