I had tons of Berenstein bears and loved the Ramona books as well. I always tried to get my students to read them, but they wouldn't. My sister was obsessed with Babysitters and had probably every single book. It took up her entire bookshelf. I wasn't much of a fan though, I read them but I was more into Boxcar Children. The Giver and Number the Stars are probably my two all time favorite books ever!!! I reread them every couple of years. Have you read the sequels to the Giver? I'm not a fan really. And of course I love Westing Game and all Harry Potters. You have great taste in books!Tom, Beth, and Ainsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01957934396364162763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-56455285827363993242008-11-05T19:06:00.000-05:002008-11-05T19:06:00.000-05:00my list includes all of yours-I love your choices!...my list includes all of yours-I love your choices!

I didn't get into the Babysitter's Club but I was a huge Sweet Valley High fan back in the day :o)<BR/><BR/>Morgan has finished the Ramona Series and Little House- so fun to share this love of reading with my daughter.<BR/><BR/>I like the Lois Lowry books. I haven't read any of her work since college though. I will have to revisit some of those titles.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310435646127999845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-91041316900403350222008-11-05T13:14:00.000-05:002008-11-05T13:14:00.000-05:00Oh I was a bookworm too!

I'd climb up my favorite tree with a backpack full of necessities and sit and read for hours. Yep, total nerd.<BR/><BR/>But I loved Babysitters Club (I know, nothing to brag about) and the Ramona books. I don't think I could pick an all-time favorite either. There were too many good ones!Jenni S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16053221456990941893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-41663730209156768322008-11-05T12:14:00.000-05:002008-11-05T12:14:00.000-05:00yup. another post. lied about the earlier speech. ...yup. another post. lied about the earlier speech.

You know how I feel about the Westing Game. :)<BR/><BR/>4. I too had/ have a strong interest in WWII books- here's two you need to read: 1. The Endless Steppe- memoir- polish family sent not to concentration camps, but to gypsum mines in Siberia. Quite excellent. 2. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas- a fairly new book showing a concentration camp from a different perspective. They are actually currently making a movie of this one. <BR/><BR/>LKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822077136757848388.post-24469749347479171742008-11-05T09:51:00.000-05:002008-11-05T09:51:00.000-05:00What a fun list!
