Ann Saves the Trees

[sparklymouse]

Since there's about 20 pages of crap tacked on to the end of each book, what would you most like to have seen eliminated? Or do you think certain things should have been added to certain books rather than every single book?

Lol. I meant to vote for the notebook pages, not scrapbook pictures and I also picked order forms for other book series. I actually liked the descriptions for the previous books because I would go through and see how many books I owned from each sitter. I guess Ann's 2-page bio was also worthless, I liked the early books when there was just a little picture and like a three line bio.

^I thought I picked the thing where you could change your vote. No?

If Ann's letters had said anything useful or interesting then they would have been a nice addition, but what was given was boring.

I thought her 1 page bio with the small picture was fine because all books have author bios of some sort. Not sure why we suddenly needed a huge picture of her that took up a page on its own.

I liked the scrapbook pages but not in every book since they didn't change. Maybe as something special in the portraits or super specials.

I actually did like the ads for other series because they gave me ideas for new things to read.

I voted for Ann's letters since they really were pointless. I would have loved had the scrapbook pages at least been updated once! I think the Super Specials could have shown better pictures from the actual trip or afterwards rather than the ghastly photos taken "at the time" by an unkown entity.

I voted for the fan club and/or contest forms because after a certain point, you can't enter the contest.

I like seeing all of the order and contest forms because oh! 1992!!!!

Maybe the scrapbook pages, since they repeat? I like Ann's letters.

[lilafowler]

I like the order forms and fan club stuff for nostalgic value now, but as a kid they seemed like a waste because my parents would never let me order from them!

[maddieruns]

I also like the letters. Some of them give interesting background information about the book.

[booboobrewer]

I like the letters too. Even if they were unrelated to the story I still liked hearing something random from Ann.

[anzuhana]

^ I agree. I liked reading the letters because I liked reading what Ann wrote, even if it had nothing to do with the book.

[oldhickory]

reading ann's random, irrelevant letters made me want to punch her. (not really, but you know what i mean.) instead of making the book seem more personal, it made it seem like she hadn't even read what the book was about, much less actually write the book.

[sparklymouse]

The letters were a good idea but poorly executed. Ann had a really hard time staying on the topic of the book.

I picked the scrapbook pages but I would have liked them if they changed or had something to do with the actual book they were posted in.

[anzuhana]

^ It would've interesting if the scrapbook pages had something to do with the actual book they were posted in.

^Oooh that would have been cool. Like a photo history of the story. I would have loved to have seen some of the pictures from "A Day in the Life of Stoneybrook" from Claudia and the Clue in the Photograph.
