The Box Car Children

When I was younger I read the Box Car Children books. To be perfectly honest I cannot remember what they were about but I remember owning a ton of them and reading them-not all the time but on a fairly consistent basis. I also read from the Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High books.

Now my reading consist of books titled, Real Sex, The Ministry of Nurture, Blue Like Jazz, Velvet Elvis and so on. While these books are amazing and have taught me a lot, there is a part of me that misses the innocence of the Box Car Children. I want to read them again and know what they are about. I want to read them to my kids someday.

The books I missed out on when I was little were the Chronicles of Narnia Books. I have seen the new movie, twice now. I want to read the books. I ask for them for Christmas but they are kind of expensive to get the whole series. For New Years lunch we went over to a friends house and the little boy and his mom were reading through The Lion Witch and the Wardrobe. I wanted so badly to begin reading it but I am a big fan of doing things in order and The LWW is the second book in the series. I was able to make it for about 20 min before temptation overtook me and I began to read. I loved it. I read about 30 pages before they made me put it down and eat lunch.

I want to read them all. I have not enjoyed reading for a long time but since last summer I feel like I am always reading a book; by choice.

Reading is good for you. If you want me to recommend you a book let me know. I've got a few you can check out..."but you don't have to take my word for it." :o)

Be Blessed!!!
