Reading was my go to when I was little. Bored? Read. Going for a car ride? Read. Wanna have fun? Read. It's sunny out? Read. It is rainy? Read.
You get it. And it is a voracious habit that has followed me in to my adulthood. I can't help but read anything I get my hands on-I crave learning via books. My eldest niece is at the age I was when I first started getting in to reading so I have decided to gift her with my favorite books every birthday. Her birthday was recently so I gave her the first book of The Babysitters Club books and Harriet the Spy-Just looking at the covers of the books brought back so many good memories. It encouraged me to write a list of my favorite books as a kid-I would LOVE to hear what your favorites were.

1. Matilda
2. All of Shel Silverstein's poetry books
3. Little House on the Prairie
4. Catherine Called Birdy
5. Babysitters Club
6. Harriet the Spy
7. The Egypt Game
8. The BFG
9. Boy

I just know there are more but these are all I can think of at the moment....please share your faves to spark my memory.
