I was just talking with my boyfriend last night how they were my favorite books as a kid and I wanted to know if Mandie and Joe ever got together. I too quit reading them as I got into high school. Now we'll never know. I had no idea the author passed away. I am pretty upset that we'll never know.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259365369595756519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7873360072593897177.post-32957550226059944162009-11-11T10:45:07.027-08:002009-11-11T10:45:07.027-08:00Thank you so much for your thoughtful review.

Of course, they embellish every little nuance, but it scared me! LOL. <br /><br />I recorded the PBS special on haunted lighthouses, too.

I happen to have been swept away by the one at the Ponce Inlet. They even have a graveyard for all the lighthouse kitties! It has an amazing campus. Unfortunately, most of the lighthouses I've seen are not open to the public.

I think you should just figure that the author always intended for Mandie and Joe to end up together, but that she just ran out of time to get the story to that point. That's what I would go with anyway. *** At this point would just like to insert a quick PSA to all authors--Please be kind enough to finish your story before you die or leave detailed notes behind so that your fans will know what happens. Thank You! ***<br /><br />Oh, and I never read the Mandie books, which I guess is a little strange since that's my name and all.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168016198882326766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7873360072593897177.post-88016014953009278942009-04-24T12:03:00.000-07:002009-04-24T12:03:00.000-07:00I find it annoying when authors feel the need to f...I find it annoying when authors feel the need to focus so much on sexual exploration. I understand that the sexual content is sometimes necessary and/or beneficial to the development of the story, but I find it frustrating when it's gratuitous. <br /><br />At some point I'll probably check these books out, but I think I'm a bit vampired-out at the moment.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168016198882326766noreply@blogger.com
