I was just writ...Late comment to say three things:<br /><br />I was just writing up an LJ post about the "Tell Me a Mitzi" issue when I stumbled across this post -- you are not the only one who's curious about it!<br /><br />I am not TOO bothered about the series always being set "now" and picking up technology and cultural references along the way. The Ramona books did, as does Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series. One example of a series that does <i>not</i> is Sue Grafton's alphabet mysteries. They remain firmly and defiantly set in the 1980s and the storylines are still quite good, so I guess it just depends how the author chooses to do it.<br /><br />One example of "books that mention other books" comes in Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's The Grooming of Alice, in which Alice reads "a novel called Ice" -- also written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

I left a message for Judy one her website last year and she was kind enough to email me back. She's on Twitter too.Nikki - Notes of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116292112164268244noreply@blogger.com
