I would like to tell you about something kind of fun that I did this summer. A gal I work with has a daughter going into fourth grade. L is just about the cutest kid, you see - big brown eyes, little curls and she has spunk. She tells you stories that crack you up but she is sensative - I like this kid. Well, she shared her fourth grade summer reading list with me and I ended up reading about 10 books on the list over the course of the summer. Some I found at garage sales and some I requested from the library. They were all easy reads usually only took a night or two to read. But all great books.
They were in case you want to check them out too!
