I am presently re-reading Dickens' David Copperfield, so that will be my first up on next month's list.

I see a strong Jane Austen interest this month. Yep. Comfort reading. Stressed much lately, Peg?

I have whole years where I don't read anything that isn't comfort reading. That's why I don't list my books ever::g::

Hi, Peg. Long time!
What are your girls reading? I'd love to know. They seem about the same age as my students, and if they are literate and voracious readers like you... =)

Fiona: "That's going to be a list, like 25 pages long." Dear America historical series, Eragon and Eldest by Christopehr Paolini, Harry Potter, of course, The Lady Grace mysteries by Patricia Finney, The Royal Diaries (historical first person series), Eva Ibbotson books, fairy tales and fantasy in general. Roald Dahl, Patricia C. Wrede, Redwall books by Brian Jacques. Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Delia: Sid Fleischman (sp?), Shel Silverstein poetry, J. K. Rowling, Patricia C. Wrede, Laurel Winter's Growing Wings, some nonfiction books on vegetarianism, ballet, electricity, American Girl books, Dear America (sort of), fairy tales, Eva Ibbotson, Newbury books . . .

You're right, they're voracious. Actually have to stop; we're about to run out to the library. We generally check 15-20 books out each time for each girl.
