I loved the Muppet Babies show so much my Mom bought be a monthly subscribtion to their book collection. -

I think everyone has read this book at some point. I have read it to my girls many times. I always thought it was kinda sad and I always got mad at the greedy little boy. -
Where the Sidewalk Ends
My second grade teacher read use poems from Where the Sidewalk Ends. It was my first exposure to poems. -
A Light in the Attic
This book naturally followed Where the Sidewalk Ends. -
The Indian in the Cupboard
My favorite teacher, my 4th grade teacher Mrs. de Lemos, read this book to the whole class. I thought I wouldn't like it and that it was a boys book but I ended up loving it and wishing I had a figurines that I could bring to school that would come to life. -
The Babysitters Club
I loved reading this series. My friend's and I even created our own club. -
The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
I loved this book. I bought it for my daughters. I think I use having kids as an excuse to by all the books I loved as a kid. This book is hilarious. -
Romeo and Juliet
I love this story. I first read it in 5th grade. I've reread it at least half a dozen times. It is one of my favorite books. I've also watched both movie versions on the story, and have bought the newer version twice. -
Sweet Valley High
I read everyone of these books, and loved the show. -
Bridge to Terabithia
I guess in 7th grade they wanted us to read depressing stories. My oldest daughter watched the movie several times, I felt very old. -
Annabel Lee
In my 7th grade Reading class we had to read Edgar Allan Poe's Annabel Lee. I have been obsessed with it and him ever since. I use the name as my screen names and have the beginning of the poem tattooed on my back. -
Where the Red Fern Grows
We read this book in 7th grade, it was so sad. But I loved how the little boy haved up for the dogs and bought them from the back of a magaizine. It reminded me of all the times I ordered things from the back of magaizines. -
The True Story of the Big Bad Wolf
I was a little old to be reading this book but I couldn't help myself. I love fractured fairy tales. I watch all the shows (Grimm, Once Upon a Time, etc.) and read most of the books. -
Alice in Wonderland
I read the actualy Alice in Wonderland. I am still confused by the Jabberwocky. The book is much different than the children's version or the movie. -
The Complete Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales
I started reading the real Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales. I have not read them all but I read them here and there. I enjoy these version much better than the children's versions. -
Dante's Inferno
I had to read this book when I was taking High School/College classes through Texas Tech. Even with the cliff note I was lost. I think this is a book that you have to have a class discussion to clarify. -
The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy
I was pregnant with my oldest daughter and had already read What to Expect When You're Expecting and someone recommended this to me. It is the best pregnancy book in my opinion. -
