I Dearest BOOKS!

I tin can all the same remember getting in trouble when my parents were up watching Telly, for sneaking

down the hall to read by the calorie-free from the living room, long after I was sent to bed.

Then in middle schoolhouse, I was pretty much Belle from the beginning of Disney'southward Beauty & the Beast.

At least 95% of my day was spent with a book in hand: on the bus in the forenoon, walking the halls at school,
at the lunch table, in the car running errands, wandering around the "deadening stores" with my parents.

Equally I got older things similar boys, schoolhouse work, a task, and most recently kids,

inevitably started to consume into my reading fourth dimension. But I withal enjoy a good volume whenever I can.

(Concluding week I finally broke down and read all 3 Hunger Game books in but iii days!)

Unfortunately all the books from my youth mysteriously vanished equally I got older, and now I'1000 starting from scratch to build upwardly a library for my ain children. (Why are there half a dozen trash numberless full of my gross stuffed animals in the basement but not a single story volume?!) Then I'1000 sure I don't have to explain my giddiness when I beginning constitute out there is a giant used book store just down the street. Then it got fifty-fifty better when I was told they give out credits when yous trade in your erstwhile unwanted books, CD's, and VHS tapes. Double Score!

This is but a very modest corner of the Children's department!

The start matter I started collecting was the Serendipity Series by Stephen Cosgrove.

Does anyone remember these little moral stories?

I LOVED the Leo the Lop ones when I was footling!

For me this is merely equally proficient (if not better) than going to a thrift store.

But this week I found this entire set of Beatrix Potter stories

Spines never fifty-fifty cracked

For 75 cents a piece!

At present I call back we're almost set up to move on to the Gold Books,

only there are more than a few of those to sort through…

Then there are ever the Berenstain Bears, Winnie the Pooh, Dr. Seuss…

Thank goodness Reli has already taken such an involvement in reading,

but I sure hope that the fiddling man catches the book bug too!

Do you have any favorite books that you can't wait to share with your children?

Or have even packed abroad in hopes of passing them onto your grandchildren?
