Mum spread them throughout my childhood, so that when I read each one I was the same age as Laura in that book. And now my own daughter is reading them.<br />John Jakes' Kent family novels were another favourite and so was Victoria Holt. I really enjoyed her daughters of England series as Philippa Carr. <br />Jean Plaidy and Anya Seton are on my TBR pile at the moment. I'm sure to enjoy them too!J.T.

Little House in the Big Woods is the first book I really remember reading and loving as well. I read the series obsessively as a child.<br /><br />I loved John Jakes' Kent Family Chronicles when I was in high school, although my Mom was not amused when I brought home The Bastard.<br /><br />I discovered Anya Seton in high school and loved her novels. I also enjoyed Victoria Holt, but have not read all of her Phillipa Carr or Jean Plaidy novels yet.<br /><br />I need to check out the books on this list that I haven't read!Laura's Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904763940307902364noreply@blogger.com
