  1. What a great list, Avonlea. (I read Twenty Thousand Leagues for the first time this year. What a fascinating story!) I like to pile on the books during Christmas break, too. I often read Little Women this time of year. It's one of my all-time favorite stories. Happy reading!

  2. Love the pictures and list, Avonlea! It's amazing.
    We started A Single Shard on our way home from the nearby (2 hours away city) last night and I am enthralled. I am glad we are going to drive 2 more hours today for a dr. appt. so I can listen to the rest.
    Love to you and happy reading!
