If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anyone remember a series of kids books about a girl named Betsy? I read them when I was in third grade or so, but they were already kind of easy for me at that point, so I think they're aimed a little younger. She had a little sister named Star, named that because she was born on Christmas. I'm pretty sure the books were from the fifties or earlier, but not much earlier than the thirties or so.

Because books.
You don't mean Understood Betsy, do you, Hil?
I loved The Five Little Peppers when I was a kid, too, but I read that myself.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Carolyn Haywood, "B is for Betsy" and so on?

Nope, though Misunderstood Betsy looks interesting. Turns out I mean "B is for Betsy." Found the right google terms.
edit: x-post with amych. Thanks!

I was a huge Cherry Ames fan as a kid. Found a ton of them at garage sales when I was kid and just got sucked in, since I loved reading anything WW II set.

Cherry Ames rocked! I loved those books, although I only ever read the ones my mom had.
I also loved the Beany Malone books, which were set in the 1940s.

Goodness, did I love Cherry Ames! I also read Sue Barton nurse books, and one called "Bertrice Perry, X-ray technician", which was really interesting in how they developed films, etc.
Also, I so wanted a stove so I could make raisin cakes like Polly in Five Littel Peppers. That is actually one of the ones I re-read from time to time (I also adore Boxcar Children and anything my Louisa May Alcott)
