I love this time of year. It's a time where I catch up on my reading list. During Thanksgiving break, I read "The Help" by Kathryn Sockett (loved it), "Hector and the Search for Happiness" by Francios Lelord and now I am half way through "Keeper" by Kathi Appelt.
My most recent reading got me thinking about my very favorite books. Even though I enjoyed all of my Thanksgiving reads, I don't think of any of them will become a forever favorite. Here are some of the books that I will never forget.
FAVORITE BOOK WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID "A Light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein (When I was 9 years old, I memorized a poem from this collection called "Clarence")
