When I was a child, my favorite book was…
Wow. This one is hard. I have always loved reading and have read voraciously for as long as I can remember. There are many titles that stand out and could be considered favorites of my childhood, but narrowing them down to one is proving difficult.
So, as I think, I will share my excitement over my shiny new work in progress. SO excited. I won’t say much, but here is what I can share:
*Boarding School* ** *Ninja*
Excitement.
It is a good thing Bubba and I are moving to New York soon, because, in honor of my new book, I must eat at this amazing, amazing restaurant!!
Okay, back to the topic at hand.
I have decided. And the winner is:
I talked of my love for this book in yesterday’s post. What sets this one above the rest and makes it the favorite book of my childhood is not the creative story, the writing, or the illustrations. It is the memories. The memory of reading Oddkins with my mom and sister is a powerful one for me, and that memory gives this book the edge.
What is your favorite book from your childhood?
