Okay I am going to hit a few with this post. It's a fantasy #saga that was made into a depressingly okay movie about 10 years ago. Some were #publishedinthe70s as they range from 1965-1977. This was such a fantastical #journey when I was a child that when I saw a box set I had to buy it. One day I will pass it to my nephew even though I have had this set so long it's yellowed. All these books #gotogether never to be parted. #junliantjuly

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Love love love love love. 7y
LibrarianRyan @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I know right. I picked up a box set years ago for a reread and haven't gotten to it yet. 7y

#JubilantJuly #PublishedInThe70s

I didn't know what to expect when l first read this book. I wasn‘t even clear what the story was about.
I ended up loving it. It's a journey, sure, but not just a journey on the road. Everything that happens outside the protagonist is mirrored by something happening inside the protagonist, until each journey enhances the other.
It's a beautiful book.

#JubilantJuly #publishedinthe70s I'll never forget reading this when I was a kid, sneaked it from my mums bookcase and felt so grown up. Also thought it, and the other Dollanger books were a based on a true story, until I was 25 😂

Chelsibno I read this and its sequels when I was in junior high! I felt so grown up while I was reading them too! 7y
LeahBergen Oh, I loved this in junior high! 7y
Jas16 My mom wouldn't let me read them so I borrowed them from a friend's mom 7y

LDuffN I loved that series. When Lifetime made the movies made me want to read it again. 7y
monkeygirlsmama I have yet to read these books despite them being ones I wanted to read for over 20 years. 7y
DeborahSmall @Jas16 my mum didn't know I'd read them until years later. Part of the excitement was feeling I was reading a 'grown ups' book although I was reading Agatha Christie at the same age, the forbidden was more attractive. I read them again in my 20's still thinking it was a true story. Think it was when I started Petals in The Wind I called my mum to ask if it was fiction 🤔 She laughed so much 7y

I remember everyone and their mother reading this one in the 70s. I couldn't put it down. And then when the movie came out...ooh la la. ☺️💕

minkyb I remember this being considered so steamy! 🙃 7y
MemoirsForMe @minkyb Me too! But today, it would probably be G-rated. 😁 7y
