I counted through the books on this list and I've only read like a measly 25 books. Then I told Carson to count how many books that he'd read. He'd read 40 of them. He's 9 so I'm feeling a bit loserish right now.
You've missed a couple of really good ones! Go get the Penderwicks, first. It's so delightful and charming. The sequel is great, too. Then, find the audio version of "The Watson's Go to Birmingham". Levar Burton is the narrator, and he's the perfect voice for this story! It's one that I put on my top 10 list. I think you'll love it. You can read it, too, but I especially love listening to him.
cathy the thief by megan whalen turner is your new top pirority where have you been. also you can start reading the wizard of oz out loud to anna at bed time she will love it. oh and you have to read the graveyard book it was awesome!
