Dewey's Read-a-thon: Hours 2 and 3

Since I didn't post between 9 am and 10 am, I just decided to include it all in one post.  By consolidating, I don't have to get stuck with the "oh man, I missed the time frame!" bit.  This last hour was great.  I brewed myself a cup of tea and read.  :)  I hope everyone else is having a good day as well!


Hour 2 Mini Challenge: Back-in-the-day  Children's Book Mini Challenge
This mini challenge is hosted by Miss Wisabus.  I posted my response on her comments, but I wanted to reiterate it here, just to be consistent. 

What were some of your favorite children's books when you were younger?  Do you have any new favorites now that you're an adult?  Have you included any children's or YA titles in your Read-a-thon stack this year?

At first, I thought we were speaking of young children's books - like picture books.  So I thought of the books I've wanted to share with my niece:  The Rainbow Fish and Katy No Pockets.  Such cute stories!

As far as children's literature goes, my favorite book series was The Boxcar Children.  My mom started reading them to my siblings and me at bedtime when we were young.  Then, when I got older, I read every book in the series that I could get my hands on.  I don't even remember much about them now; I just remember loving them.

I did not include any YA fiction in my pile for today.  I've been reading a lot of YA fiction recently, but they weren't at the top of my list today.  

Hour 3 Mini Challenge: Six Word Celebration

Estella's Revenge is hosting the six word celebration challenge.

Eh... probably not the best, but I want to get back to reading.  :)
