HBRC Day 15-Favorite series or Favorite book as a young adult

Today we are asking you to share what was your favorite series or favorite book when you were a young adult?

Julie's series:

The Trixie Belden series was one of my favorite series as a young adult. I know, probably a bit young for YA but I collected them into my late 20's! I started collecting them when I was about 12. I would shop at flea markets, used book stores, garage sales. Then I found that I could write to the publisher and they sent me out an order form and kept me up to date on new releases. I used my babysitting money to buy all of my own books. Then after I got a job and married I still bought them. The series ended with number 39, and I always have wanted to know how the Belden's and all of their friends turned out.

What is a favorite series that you enjoyed or a favorite book that you enjoyed when you were a Young Adult?

  1. One of my picks is a mystery series, too. I never read the Trixie Belden series though. Maybe I should correct that omission. Here's my post: http://bookladysbooknotes.wordpress.com/2012/12/30/hbrc-day-15-favorite-series-or-favorite-book-as-a-young-adult/

  2. I can't believe this! Before I even scrolled down to see your full post, the first series that popped into my head was Trixie Belden! My mom had a box full that she had collected, and I read every one of them!

    1. That's awesome Melissa! I rarely find people that know of the Trixie Belden books so nice to know that there are others out there that are(or were) fans!
