Thanks for the suggestions! It is DEF time to buy a printer so I can print out this thread and take it with me to the library! 
You must read Harry Potter! I implore you. Do it! You'll be glad you did!
What do you like to read for yourself? That might helps give me an idea if you would enjoy HP or not....but I think there is something in it for all (twists and turns, magic, fantasy, etc....). Just my thoughts on the matter 
Sending you love (btw, how's your daughter from New Years? All better I hope!)
*hugs*

Tales of the 4th Grade Nothing! I read that one!
I didn't realize it....but looking back I was quite the little reader! It's all coming back now as we discuss books and series....I don't know if I was ever without a book to read.
Still the same...only bigger

I forgot all about Black Beauty. I haven't read it since I was a child - probably because I cried buckets the first time. It is a wonderful book and a definite must-read.

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms
Anne of Green Gables (read it many times but wanted to again)
Judy Blume's--Just As Long As We're Together (one of my faves from childhood)
Laura Ingalls--Little House on the Praries (first time!!)
Rebecca Lisle--Copper (stumbled upon this on my own)
And we can only put 3 on hold at a time! So I have on hold now Clan of the Cavebears, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Little House (which I found so I will need to take it off the holds list when I go to the library again...which I hope to do before the surgery!)
Thanks you to EVERYONE for the suggestion! Keep em' coming as I plan to make 1-2 more trips before the surgery next Thursday!!!
Thanks again...you're all the best!
With love and HAPPINESS!!!!!

I may be the only living person who ever read them, but I really enjoyed the Kay Tracey mysteries. They were written by the same author who originated the Nancy Drew series. After 40 years, I still remember clearly the moment in "The Six-Fingered Glove Mystery" when Kay figured out what was wrong with that glove.

I LOVED Trixie Belden! OMG! I read all her books, then wrote the publishers BEGGING them to please publish MORE! For some strange reason, I never got an answer. And they never published any more either. I wanted to BE Trixie Beldon!
I was in elementary school. Then I "graduated" to Nancy Drew. EXCELLENT books for kids, just TERRIFIC!
Wow, what a trip down memory lane....
Oh, by the way, I never wrote another fan letter since that one -- except recently. I wrote to Ann Rule, the fantastic author who writes about true murder stories, including "The Stranger Beside Me" (Ted Bundy) and "Small Sacrifices." She's even better than Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew! I told her I'd never written a fan letter since I wrote to the publishers of Trixie Belden. Ann Rule responded to me, believe it or not, and said she too remembered Trixie Belden very well.
Ain't that fun stuff?!

You aren't the only one! I read Nancy Drew in elementary along with the Hardy Boys! As a 5th grade teacher I love children's book! One of my favorites is one calle The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Andrews! Yes the actor/singer. It is one of the few she has written and my teacher read it to me in school and i read it to my kids every year! It is the best. Another favorite is Fig Pudding by Ralph fletcher. Great kids book!

I saw him in the early 80's when I was in public school. He's so animated. Plus he lives in Guelph which is only an hour away where I live, and my bro and many friends lived there. Did you know he makes surprise visits to schools? He gets a letter from a class, and literally shows up in the office saying "Hi. I'm Bob Munsch." He's amazing.
My Mom cries EVERY time she reads "Love you forever".
Did you know he has bipolar?

Yes, I am such a loser having not read HP. He's a cult symbol, LOL!
I read a lot of nonfiction- self-help, a lot of educational stuff. i've laid off the novels for the last while because they were so forced down my throat during university and my English degree.
I do like reading in chunks though. I'm big into magazines. Plus, this is my attention span, lol-cut it into little pieces....Welcome to having a three year old and no time to really have to myself...
But you really have me thinking I should get into it agian.
Kayleigh is great again, thank goodness. We celebrated her third birthday on the 11th. Where has the time gone?? My baby is a KID now.
