Sometimes when you hear a song, it takes you back to a pleasant memory, forever connected to those notes.

Phyllis Whitney's young mysteries for making me want to be a writer. Russian and "Peasant" literature in high school for really expanding my sense of what a novel/fiction was. Dickens and the Bronte's for letting me swim in the dense, rich waters of Victorian fiction. And Barbara Pym and Ruth Rendell for the end of graduate school, for when I was so burnt out I couldn't read a book that took me longer than two days.

I recovered, but STILL love slim British fiction and mystery novels. :)

Omigosh I DEVOURED the Bronte sisters and Jane Austen my senior year of high school. And for a while, Agatha Christie was all I would read. There's just something about those Brits!

Oh, Flowers in the Attic reminds me of 7th and 8th grade, for sure. I also remember sitting on the window sill of my third grade classroom reading the Little House books. I also volunteered in my elementary school library, shelving books, and I can still take a mental tour around that room, stopping at the shelves that housed my favorite authors.

Loved Phyllis Whitney's YA mysteries, too.

Oh, yes! The Little House books were wonderful. I remember reading Ann of Green Gables series around the same time and loving those too. What a cool school you must have gone to, to be able to sit and read in the window sill!
