#throwbackthursday

I loved all the Ramona books as a kid, and I loved this one the most (except for the tin can stilts in Ramona and her Father!) I remember feeling bittersweet, because at the time, this was the last book in the series. Probably the first series I read where a felt like the main character was one that I would have loved to meet in real life and rereading was like visiting them again!

Another good instalment. Didn‘t pick the marriage between Aunt Beatrice and Uncle Howie - he did seem pretty obnoxious at times - but we enjoyed hearing more about Ramona and family. Beatrix says ‘It was lovely. I love love loved it.‘

Decided to check out a few of my favorite Beverly Cleary books in honor of her passing. It will be fun revisiting the worlds and the characters she created while remembering how much these books meant to me as a young person. 💕📚💕 Rest in peace, Beverly!

Rest in Peace, Beverly Cleary. Every year since about 2nd grade I‘ve read my favorite Ramona book on your birthday. I didn‘t even miss a year during my wild college days or my first years as a mom! This is my original copy from 1990. It‘s always been prominently displayed on a shelf wherever I‘ve lived. I cherish it. Tonight I‘ll read it a couple of weeks early in honor of you. Thank you for sharing your gifts. I‘m forever grateful.
XOXO,
Shantel

Ruthiella A wonderful tribute to a wonderful author. ❤️ 4y
FashionableObserver @Ruthiella Thank you. I don‘t know why this one hit me so hard but...it totally did. 4y

Andrea313 I just love this. ❤️❤️❤️ 4y
BethM How lovely ❤️ 4y
Reggie I had an elementary teacher, Mrs. Muncy, who read us all the Ramona books every day after lunch for a half hour at a time. 4y
FashionableObserver @marleed, @Andrea313, @BethM Thanks, guys! I was so genuinely sad when I posted that. Then I read the book and felt so much better. Oh, the power of reading! ♥️ 4y
FashionableObserver @Reggie when I started reading it on Friday, I was taken back to my childhood—walking to the neighborhood library with my friends, to get my weekly stack of books (a Ramona one almost always in that stack)—and I started to smile. Remembering that simple, happy time erased my sadness. Look at that: even in her passing, Ms. Cleary managed to bring joy! 4y
FashionableObserver @Reggie Did you guys ever watch the Ramona series on PBS? Whenever it was a rainy or snowy day, our teachers would let us watch an episode in lieu of recess. 4y
Reggie @FashionableObserver no, but now that you mentioned it. Our teacher was a big fan of Alf. She let us watch her vcr recorded episodes of that. I‘m glad Ms. Cleary brought you so much joy. 4y

I‘m not sure if Beverly intended this to be the last one, but it is the last one I read. The next and final one came out 15 years later when I was in college! These 7 span 1968-84, so Gen X kids were the original readers.

Ramona finishes up third grade and both her mother and her aunt have big surprises! Her dad finishes school but can‘t find a job teaching. Beezus is now old enough to watch Ramona after school and to have teenage problems!

Megabooks Headache still going strong, but I‘ve switched to an adult book. 4y
Megabooks I know y‘all are like, I never thought I‘d be so happy she‘s back to those memoirs! 😜😂😂 4y

Megabooks @Crazeedi I‘m so sorry! ❤️❤️ I couldn‘t sleep all night, so I‘ve been asleep all day. 4y
Megabooks @PurpleyPumpkin Cleary is such a great author! 4y
Cinfhen How are you feeling now??? 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen finally better as of about 2 hours ago! Thanks for asking! I‘m going to the doctor tomorrow about a pretty bad burn on my back from a heating pad. It seems like a bunch of little things right now. 🤷🏻‍♀️☹️ 4y
Cinfhen Ugh, a heating pad should not scorch you😩😱I‘m sorry 😞 you can‘t catch a break...xxxx 4y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I was correct. Burn is not infected! 👍🏻 They gave me some bandaging material, so I should be fine. 4y
Cinfhen I‘m glad you‘re on the mend but still....that heating pad might be defective 😞 4y
Crazeedi @Megabooks I hope you have all good things come your way today!!❤❤ 4y

#7days7books very belated day 7 post. Books that had a deep impression and changed me. I had the hardest time picking, but decided to go with the tagged book. The Ramona books were the first chapter books I read on my own and I adored Ramona. These books made me a life long reader. Also belated happy birthday to Beverly Cleary!

Mitch Love that cover - Ramona looks cool! 5y

Happy 103rd birthday, Beverly Cleary! You‘ll always be my favorite author. Thank you for writing such descriptive books with lovable characters that are set right here in our home; Oregon. This is a picture that I took with the Ramona statue that is a part of the Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden in Grant Park in Portland, Oregon. It‘s walking distance to Ramona‘s childhood home on Klickitat Street. #beverlycleary #ramona #oregon

Ramona and Beezus take on greater responsibilities and prepare for a couple of happy surprises. As always these books tackle children‘s emotions, relationships to one another and to grown-ups in a realistic and relatable way. Love how they take on the regular events of life - pets, babysitting, budgets, etc... much love for Ramona. My almost 6 year old has enjoyed this series a lot. I️ saved my copies so I️ get to share the exact one I️ read.

DGRachel How wonderful, that you get to pass down your copies!😍 7y

If I could meet any living author, it would have to be Beverly Cleary. I read my first Ramona book at age 6 and have been reading like crazy ever since. Thank you Beverly Cleary for unforgettable characters like Ramona. @Liberty #KostovaGiveaway

I rescued this adorable copy of Ramona Forever from a big book clearance a few years ago, and now it's one of my favorites in my collection of kids' books. Happy birthday, Beverly Cleary!
