I picked up book one...and never stopped reading again. Often wondered if she regretted that gift. Especially ironic because she never has been much of a reader.

*The series was called "The Happy Hollisters". We let a neighbor's grandchildren borrow them, and we never got them back. I always wanted a change to revisit them as an adult. Ah well.
I remember those! I probably read most of them through the library.

Editing to add that I just discovered there's a website https://thehappyhollisters.com
