1. I will read at least 50 books.
I've surpassed 50 books already this year, mostly thanks to my daughter and some great children's literature. Nineteen of the titles on my list are books she read also. Some of the books we shared as read-alouds, and others she read first and then told me she thought I'd like them. What fun, to have my nine-year-old recommending books to me! I love watching her develop a love of reading, quite different from my own as a child, but just as strong. (She searches for the silly and the fantastic, while I think I tended to look for books that realistically portrayed the experiences of girls my age.) Books are such a great foundation to have, like a second home, and I'm happy for her.

Isn't it wonderful when your kids share your love of reading! Nothing pleases me more to have to tell Ben for the "umpteenth" time "Turn out your light now and go to sleep!" He's one of those stay-up-all-night- to-finish-the-book kind of kids.
Aw, that's great, Michelle! Ben's a kid after my own heart.
