Oooo...I loved to read as a kid. How about you?
Remembering my favorite books I read as a kid conjures up visions of attics and warm quilts, reading during thunderstorms or imagined sword fights with scary creatures we all knew lurked deep within the woods. Even now a rainy day will make me smile and think of my favorites.
How many of these did you read?
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkein
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne
The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis (I know I'm cheating - 7 books)
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
“A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.” Madeleine L'Engle
There are so many more. More than I listed above. More to read. More to write. Most especially, there is more to live. All of us have dreams yet unfulfilled. Ideas not fully formed. Each day a new opportunity is born, a new blank page appears. Dawn arises with promise.
Inspiration
When I see a stack of books I get inspired, especially if it's sitting beside a fresh cup of tea or coffee. How fun! There's more to discover, more to do.
What were some of your favorite books?
