Day 18 - I love to READ

July 18: Favorite childhood book

This is like asking who my favorite parent is!! No way I can answer!! I love to read SO much, and I always have. So here are a few I remember:

Sneetches and Other Stories - We owned this Dr. Seuss book and we read it and/or had it read to us so many times we could all quote the stories. Truth be told, I still can! :)










Little House on the Prairie - My mom used to read this series to my sister and I all the time. I mean maybe it was only one time through the whole thing, I don't know. Given the state of the books, though (which I now own) I would say they were read and re-read often!












Nancy Drew - these were my first "big books" that I read on my own. I devoured them! My local library had a bookshelf full of them and I read every one!! I still own a few old copies and they are among my most treasured possessions.






Shadow Castle - I think one of my cousins gave this book to my sister and I and that they got it from a yard sale. It was pretty worthless and almost no one has ever heard of it. I LOVE IT!!! It is such a fun book! (and yes, I own a copy of this as well....AND I added it to our library collection though I don't think anyone has ever checked it out).

 That cover is a "new" cover but this illustration inside is exactly like the one I remember. Love :)




A Wrinkle In Time - not only my favorite childhood book, just my favorite book. I love it. I love everything about it. As an adult I think it means even more to me! I own 3 or 4 copies of this book....
