but honestly, where would we be without books, and words, and the scriptures, and poetry and verse, and shakespeare and dave barry? i know my life would be a whole heck of a lot more boring.

We were partly through Charlotte's Web, and we were driving to Reno and Shanan didn't want Charlotte's Web, he wanted Summer of the Monkeys, so now we're partly through both books! Hooray for no DVD player in the car and reading and reading and reading and listening to books on tape. We started "Bridge to Terabithia" (sp?) but they mis-use the word "Lord" way too much, so we turned it off. We also started "Tuck Everlasting" but didn't finish it. i think i might bring it into my kitchen so i can finish it.
we love the "Knights of Right" series by M'Lin Rowley, but your girls probably wouldn't.. it's a little more geared for boys.
Favorite book? That's like trying to name my favorite food but I loved Anne of Green Gables as a child, Pride and Prejudice as a teenager and Harry Potter as a college student and my current fav is Jane Eyre.
Love this. And every book on this list.
I would add to it Little Women, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, and The Indian in the Cupboard. Classics from my childhood. And I still love them.
I am reading The Little Princess to my eight-year-old daughter and we both LOVE it!
