Baby goes to sleep, still gonna stop. Baby wakes up an hour or so later -- neither one of us has moved, only the book pages!! Have LOVED Little Women, Jane Eyre, Scarlet Letter, Green Mansions, King of the Wind . . . Have robbed my kids's bookcases for gems such as The Shack and The Book Thief. Loved sharing Harry Potter and Ann Shirley with Sarah. Good times. I am a book junkie and don't know when to stop!!!Ann Boucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626384969291985817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224619080022531405.post-36360422905269646152016-03-14T21:08:04.138-07:002016-03-14T21:08:04.138-07:00Books with mama!

Also A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which was one of the last books I was able to re-read with my mother.

These, alongside "Little Women", are my 'go to' comfort books. Maeve Binchy, Cathy Kelly and Sophie Kinsella are close seconds.

And yes, those chocolate chips never make it into any cookies. ;) I don't have any books that I keep going back to because my reading list is just tooooooooo long. But I am quick to discard books that don't take me away from the world and immerse me so thoroughly in the story that I forget everything that's going on around me. Though I too have Harry Potter, Little Women and all of the Anne Of Green Gables on my shelf too. I should give them some love. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180048355518579006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224619080022531405.post-46344014785137933552016-03-14T12:25:42.744-07:002016-03-14T12:25:42.744-07:00Anything Catherine Cookson...(I never tire of read...Anything Catherine Cookson...(I never tire of reading, and re-reading her books.
