I would have loved it if Maud wrote a book from Tacy's perspective. It always seemed like that would be an interesting world to further explore. I basically just wish Maud had just written more books period, because I can never get enough of them!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729516870952658426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-39613906937332077622010-11-01T06:35:54.092-07:002010-11-01T06:35:54.092-07:00I really enjoyed seeing Betsy mature as well.

That's pretty impressive by modern teen standards--and dare I say even my own? I think I was boy-crazy pretty much from age 12 to 18 (although I had plenty of other interests to keep me from being entirely boy-focused, thank goodness!)<br /><br />The evidence of maturing occurring over the course of the series is perhaps one of the best recommendations I've heard for any series. Maturing happens so rarely in serial fiction.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-26813056990822090142010-09-20T08:39:04.776-07:002010-09-20T08:39:04.776-07:00I'm so glad that you stuck with Betsy - and ye...I'm so glad that you stuck with Betsy - and yes, she does definitely mature in these books. And the clothes! I dream of the jade bracelets and waists and hats that Betsy wears.

Which really isn't a good idea given the mountains of laundry, dishes and a little thing called school that I need to do this week. :)<br /><br />Oh, and getting married at 18 isn't just a 1910 thing. My mom caught the eye of the new guy her senior year and 6 months after graduation they tied the knot. In 1972. I can't even imagine it!!Stephanie Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02976709475515458563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-1874816614514760752010-09-20T06:52:05.509-07:002010-09-20T06:52:05.509-07:00I'm reading Heaven To Betsy right now!
