I realize that I'm way late on discovering this, but I really wanted to comment on this one, because I loved The Gymnasts series when I was kid! I'm super-excited that another blogger did, too. Yay!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05951799381063340483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-40989713010410883642010-11-23T11:30:18.206-06:002010-11-23T11:30:18.206-06:00Thanks for stopping by BBOB this weekend!

I think I remember the gymnastics series in this post! <br /><br />I really liked the Mindwarps series by Chris Archer and the Replica series by Marilyn Kaye. Those came out around the same time, I think!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335201521684035669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-49480346732746543062010-11-22T17:56:24.454-06:002010-11-22T17:56:24.454-06:00I loved the Bobbsey Twins, I loved the Sweet Valle...I loved the Bobbsey Twins, I loved the Sweet Valley high books.

There was the Chalet School, which I mentioned on the Hop, and a series called Trebizon set in the (then) modern day in Cornwall.Katie Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844778170761632779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-39628063717783650802010-11-13T11:37:49.829-06:002010-11-13T11:37:49.829-06:00Hmm...well number one for me was The Last Unicorn ...Hmm...well number one for me was The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. While people may have heard of it because of the animated movie, not many people have actually read it. That is one of the first books that actually got me into fantasy.<br />As for kiddie series there was this series of books out called Silver Blades that I loved. It was about girls in a figure skate club. I think there was about fifteen to twenty books in it.<br />Another is the Thouroughbred series. Obviously it was about a girl whose family was in the horse business and loved horses. The series eventually moved onto another girl as she grew up and then another as the other girl grew up and so on. I think eventually there were about seventy something books in the series and it went through about four to five girls so it covered a lot of years.fantasylover12001https://www.blogger.com/profile/01143467052003907228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-42762794255588086542010-11-13T10:49:35.847-06:002010-11-13T10:49:35.847-06:00I absolutely loved --and still do--the Nancy Drew ...I absolutely loved --and still do--the Nancy Drew series. Even though it's very unrealistic and cliche at time, I loved how strong Nancy was and how at the end of each book she could always solve the mystery.<br />The book that got me into reading was probably the Tale of Desperado. My fourth grade teacher read that with so much energy and enthusiasm that I ultimately loved reading afterwards.<br />And, ooh, I also used to love reading Mary Kate & Ashley books. The books were actually really cheesy, but they focused on mysteries --unlike the movies which focus on boys, boys, and boys.<br />--LindseyLindsey Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479405614100115901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-34196731524720004502010-11-13T10:45:36.790-06:002010-11-13T10:45:36.790-06:00Yes!!!
