Reading this list has brought back so many fond memories! Most of these I haven't even thought to go and get for my kids.
You've touched on some of our favorites!
And I see some I haven't read yet, so thanks!
My hope is to have my kids read them all before they are through homeschooling, not to mention the teen's classic list that I will be posting shortly. :)
