verity83Book Fifteen: Betsy-Tacy, by Maud Hart Lovelace. 113pp
This was a nice break for my tired brain—a lighterweight dip into the life of another lively, imaginative girl and her best friend. It took all of half an hour to read, and it was very pleasant.
Book Sixteen: Betsy-Tacy and Tib, 128pp
Although I like Betsy-Tacy, this one has always been a step up in my mind. I loved the antics of the three girls together better than just the two—partially because Tib's practicality reminded me of many of my own childhood friendships, where I was like Betsy and came up with all the ideas (frequently regarded as strange or crazy) and everyone else either followed along (like Tacy) or was annoying practical (like Tib).
I decided to re-read these because I got a couple of the books where Betsy is older from the library - which I've never read. Thought it would be fun to refresh the first four in my mind. Unfortunately, the library only has two of the older Betsy volumes, and they're not the next two chronologically. Oh well. I may not even like them. We'll see.
