I just discovered your site today, and I can tell I'll spend hours exploring it. I'm 60 years old, have always been a voracious reader, worked in libraries throughout high school and college, and am a retired elementary school teacher.
Thank you so much! I'm glad that you've been enjoying my blog. I have eclectic tastes, so the books on my blog vary widely in subject. Because my first degree was in history, I often like to tie in books with historical events and have past posts grouped by decade, with some historical information for context.

Thanks for putting so much time and love in your Forgotten Books site. I found your site last fall when searching for a half-remembered story from elementary school. Apparently we read some of the same books growing up - let me know if you ever want some Canadian recommendations!
Thank you so much! I do take recommendations, although when I do them depends on when I can find a copy of the book and fit it into my schedule. I like to go with the seasons, so I'm going to have some spooky/Halloween books soon. I have no limitations on the nationality of the books I review. When I was a kid, I used to get a lot of my books at huge charity book sale they held every year. I didn't figure out until later that some of the books I read as a kid came from other countries and that some had even been translated into English from another language. I live in a college town near the state capital. They still hold that book sale every year, and it's humongous. They always get an amazing assortment. These days, I also request books through interlibrary loans when I have trouble finding them locally.
I can't think of any spooky/Halloween books off hand; but I do associate back-to-school season with the Maggie & Cyril stories by Ted Staunton. Maggie is a self-styled genius who solves problems for her neighbour (the main character), usually getting them both in more trouble in the process. Good luck at the sale!
