Hiya BetterMost friends.
Found myself discussing old books last night, and one title that came up was VC Andrews, "Flowers In The Attic".
Has anyone else read this?
I remember the huge controversy about it when it was released, although I didn't read it at the time, I was only 10 when it was published. By the time I got around to reading it, there were 5 related books published. "Flowers In The Attic", "Petals In the Wind", "If There Be Thorns", "Seeds Of Yesterday" and a "prequal", "Garden of Shadows".
I never read the rest of the series, "Flowers" was enough, given the stuff that was in that book. LOL
Today's travel destination.
Roatan, Honduras
One of the best places in the world to interact with dolphins is at the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences in Hondura's Bay Islands. Visitors can swim, snorkel, or dive with bottlenose dolphins in the open ocean or inside a protected lagoon.

I read and own all of those books, Chuck. There was also a movie made about "Flowers in the Attic". Not quite sure why you'd be intrigued by them?

Today's Travel Destination
St. Ives, Cornwal, England
The almost Mediterranean quality of light in St. Ives, the most famous of the West Country's fishing villages, has long made it a favorite spot for painters. Today its galleries and artisans' shops combine with its seaside setting to give it an air of both artists' colony and summer resort.

It wasn't that I was "intrigued" by them, Mandy. I read the first one after hearing the controversy surrounding it, and for its time, the storyline contained (IMO) some shocking things.

Hi Chuck.
I remember there being a controversy, but I didn't read the books-so never knew what it was. Maybe I'll get around to it some time. I don't read as much as I used to because of all my eye problems.
In the late 70's, I started reading John Saul books and I read those up until the early 90's. His first one, Suffer the Children was terrifying! All of the ones that I've read have mixed some reality with some paranormal/horror aspect. Good books if you like that kind of thing. :)
