I hope everyone had a nice Fourth of July. Here's West and I with our patriotic bikes.
My mom thinks I'm a book worm because I can't get enough reading. Today I read three long books and the day is not over. I just really love to read, so I thought I'd share a few of my favorite reads from this summer. Please tell me one of your favorite books that you have read this summer. Leave your answer in the comment section.

Wow! This is a great list of books. I have read some of them myself as a child and also to my own kids and we have all loved them. Next trip to the library I'm going to get a "Sailor Pick". Thanks!
Sailor,
Thanks for all the book ideas. I can't wait to check some of those out from the libraries. A lot of those are our favorite books, too! But, some of them I have never read, so thankyou very much for sharing. Right now we are reading, "Mrs Piggle Wiggle's Farm" and we just finished "James and the Giant Peach" and we just checked out "Boy". Annabelle's favorite book for Summer is "Betsy's Summerhouse".
Looks like I'll have to get cracking Sailor--and I don't mean the kids, I mean me! I'm way behind on these books.
Which is your absolute favorite favorite?
Your mother used to love Peppermins in the Parlour. Have you read it? spoooooky.
Thanks for the list. Maybe the library ought to hire you. :) Madam Sailor Librarian. I like the sound of that.
Can't wait to see you and your little brother, too.

Sailor,
I am so impressed with your reading.
It is the best activity I know.
Annie Laurie wanted me to tell you she loved 26 Fairmont Avenue.
She thought it was the cutest story.
Keep up the reading lists, Sailor.
We love them.
Mary Kate:
Thank you for saying this is a great list of books. I love to read the books you have at your house.
Catte: I love all thos books you said too, especially Betsey and Billy. Those were my favorite first chapter books.
HEIDI- si (yes). I did read Peppermints in the Parlor. It's quite scary. They should hire me at the library, although I don't think I would get any work done:)
Aunt Leslie:
Did you know there's a sequel to Fairmont Ave? We can't wait to get our hands on it. I bet Annie would love it too. Thanks for being a great reaing Aunt. Maybe we should open a bookshop together.:)
