Books

You guys know that I love to read. In fact, in preparation for my vacation (that is now cancelled), I had been building a pile of books for weeks. I kept adding books, taking books away. I had decided on 6 books to take and read next week.

Anyway, I saw that another blogger had done a post on favorite childhood books, so I thought I'd tell you about mine.

One of my first loves was this...


I also loved all of the "Ramona" series. Christmas of 2008, I got my cousins the entire series. They love them too. We have plans to go see the movie that comes out this summer.


Another book series I always loved was Amelia Bedelia. I also turned the cousins onto these.


Finally, in late Elementary school, I came to love the author Betty Ren Wright and her mysteries such as "Christina's Ghost" and "The Dollhouse Murders".


What were your favorites?

Emery and I just finished reading Beezus and Ramona. Now we are reading Ramona the Pest. So excited about that. We also love Amelia. Once she reads on her own I'm going to introduce her to Fudge. I think she might love that since her brother so resembles him!! I also loved the Doll house murders.

Didn't you love the Boxcar children? I can't tell you how many years I pretended to live in a box car. Then there was the whole babysitter's club era.

I also loved Little House on the Prarie. I liked that series so much that I wrote my senior History thesis on it!!

I love Amelia Bedilia! When I was doing speech therapy with elementary kids I used that book all the time! It was perfect for multiple meaning words and what not! Love it!

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
