KIM: And you guys actually sound a lot like Betsy, Tacy and Tib from the books we’re going to be discussing today! Collectively, they’re known as the “Betsy-Tacy” books, and they were written by Maud Hart Lovelace. KIM: Right, I think I met them at your wedding!ĪMY: Mm-hmm… they were my maids of honors. I’m still friends with them, so shout out to Michelle and Tricia, or “Woman” and “Tric,” as I still call them. ![]() But luckily I had my two “ride or dies” - these were best friends whom I’d known since third grade.
