I don't know if you have a Kindle, but if you do, A Daughter of To-Day is free on Amazon. Elfrida's eccentric breakfasts are within your grasp!
Many libraries don't have the book after Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown, Heaven to Betsy, because the heroine questions religion (I haven't read it yet, so I'm not sure how much). I may have quit because I couldn't get the next book. Or maybe I just wasn't interested in Betsy once she was getting older and going to high school? I also fell out of the Anne of Green Gables books once Anne got married.
My library does the same thing with mystery series. It's soooo frustrating. No, library, I want to read every book in the series! Why is that so hard to understand? Especially given that recent mystery series often have storylines that build on each other from book to book, in a way that Ngaio Marsh, for instance, really doesn't.
Now that I no longer have the book in hand begging to be thrown across the room, I have realized that "No one ever invites me anywhere" is actually an overstatement, and I could probably do a better job accepting the occasional invitations I do receive...
But the author seemed to be vaguely under the impression that I could fill up a decently busy social calendar if only I started accepting the invitations that are undoubtedly streaming into my life, and no, NO MR. AUTHOR, I COULD NOT.
