Jenn's Bookshelves has set a Thankfully Reading Mini-Challenge to tell what book you are most thankful for. This is a hard question because there are so many books I am thankful for.
I really can't narrow down a single book so I have gone with an entire series. The Betsy-Tacy Series are the books I am most thankful for. They have been my favorite books for years but they have become very special to me. I was laid off two years ago and it was a very difficult time for me as I had to transition from working 60 plus hours per week in my dream job to being unemployed. I began to experience anxiety and one of the few things that could help me curb this was reading the Betsy-Tacy books. They are so warm, familiar and comforting. I will always be thankful for these books for helping me get through that difficult time!
Can you believe that I still haven't read these?
ReplyDeleteGreat choice.
I haven't read these books either! I really must pick them up!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read them either but they are on my list!
ReplyDeleteI think I remember reading at least some of these books as a child. It's so great that books can be of comfort to us in difficult times!
ReplyDeleteI gave a set of those away two BBAWs ago. I knew I should have held on to them! I'm so glad you shared this. There's always the library. :)

I've never heard of these, but think that I'd really enjoy them. Thanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteI discovered this series one summer during the library's summer reading program. I devoured the whole series one book right after the other. I loved Betsy, Tacy, and Tib. I thought no one else had ever heard of them and then they reissued them and I was so thrilled when people all over were reading them. GREAT series. And so glad to hear your story about how they provided you comfort.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these either, but I would be interested in checking them out
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read them pick them up ASAP! They are the best books ever. Love them!
