Summer Reading List

 The other day I was thinking about all the books that I want to read for myself or to the kids.  I came up with an idea to do a sort of summer bucket list, except instead of activities it would be for books I want to read.  Hopefully I can make it through all of them this summer. I have separated the list up in to categories and then I choose 10 books for each.

BOOKS I HOPE TO READ TO MYSELF

1.   Heart of Gold by Lacy Williams

  2. Yeah! I have never read it before, but I had heard that it was good. Now that I think about it I think it was you that told me it was a good kids book.
