As many of you are well aware of the fact - Harper Collins recently released the second half of the Betsy-Tacy books, following Betsy into her high school years and marriage. Harper Collins kindly sent me a copy of the three volumes, which each contain 2 separate Betsy-Tacy stories. I received:
Heaven to Betsy/Betsy in Spite of Herself
Betsy Was a Junior/Betsy and Joe
Betsy and the Great World/Betsy's Wedding
I planned/plan on reading them all in conjunction with the Maud Hart Lovelace Challenge which is being hosted by Sarah at Library Hospital during the month of October. And yes, I'm reading ahead.
I finished reading Heaven to Betsy and Betsy in Spite of Herself
this past week and you'll see a more detailed review of those two stories popping up next week. (I'm also about halfway through Betsy Was a Junior.) In the meantime though, in conjunction with this Birthday Giveaway Week, thanks to Harper Collins, I have a set of these three(/six) books to give to one of you!
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
If you DO happen to win these books, I would enthusiastically encourage you to participate in the Maud Hart Lovelace Reading Challenge which Sarah is hosting. If you've never read Betsy before, you are really missing out! And if you haven't yet read about Betsy's high school years, then you can catch up just like I am!
Thank you, Harper Collins, for your amazing generosity and for republishing these titles for a new generation of young (and older) girls to enjoy!
OK, you said I'm really missing out if I've never read Betsy---and I don't wanna miss out! I'd love to chance to read these books. They look like good, old-fashioned fun!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read these though I did pick one up at a used book sale. Based on your recommendation I'd love to add to our collection.
ReplyDeleteI have all those but the last one but I know a little girl at church I could happily pass the duplicates on to! We love Betsy-Tacy!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read the Betsy-Tacy books and haven't yet. Winning these could inspire me to catch up!
ReplyDeleteI got the first Betsy-Tacy book for Christmas last year and am in desperate need to expand my collection-before the challenge if possible! (Though I must admit my library does have the first two books...and they were read last year.)

ReplyDeleteI've never read THAT Betsy before. My childhood was filled with Carolyn Haywood's Betsy. I've heard a lot about the Betsy-Tacy series though, and I'd like to try them!
ReplyDeleteI have many friends who are big Betsey-Tacy fans; sadly, I've never experienced them. I've love the opportunity to read them, after which I'll donate them to my local library.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have read them, but don't own them--I'd love to revisit Deep Valley!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I'd love to win! I've never read any of these books. :(
