Chronicles of Narnia series is my top one. I’m interested in reading Harry Potter with them, though I’ve never read it myself (and that’s partly why I want to read that series with them). And with my daughters, all the books by my favorite author (Robin Hardy).

My girls are 16 and 19. I read everything and anything to them. When they were infants I would read whatever I was reading. My ex-husband use to read Poe’s work to them! My younger daughter LOVED Shakespeare and I would read the plays to her when she 5 years old! She still loves Shakespeare! My older daughter liked poetry (which I hate) but I would read it to her when she was in grade school before bed.

At the Back of the North Wind and The Lost Prince. I think all boys should read these books before they’re 10 years old and then again when they’re adults.

NARNIA! My children will be as obsessed as me or they will be disowned.
Oh… and I want to read Don Quixote. The chapters are short, and it’s a really long book, plus funny. =D
