[Megan]

I haven't had as much time to read lately and wondered if I can include books I'm reading with my daughter. At night I haven't had time to read my books and instead have been reading things like lol. We have been raiding all the fall books at the library before they all get checked out.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Megan, you can include anything you want to! I've included cookbooks that reminded me of Autumn foods. If you're reading it, if it reminds you of Autumn, go with it!

[Megan]

That's great! Between our 2 weekly trips to the library, Book Orders, and Book It, we have been busy reading children's books. I REALLY miss MY books, lol. But at least I'm a good mom :)

I agree

Now that my kids are grown I miss that particular bedtime ritual.

[Lisa Kay]

Megan, what wonderful covers. I love children's books. I've been reading Ronyell's reviews lately and they have been bringing back memories... plus made me tempted to go into the children's section the last time I was in the bookstore.

[Megan]

It is kinda a nice change of pace. Sometimes I miss reading my books, but she loves to read so much and I want to keep encouraging that. She loves it that her dad calls us the "Book Worms", lol. She thinks that is so funny. I'm so dorky, I love finding books I use to read as a child and read them to her.

So for my challenge, between her books and mine, my goal will be 30 Autumn books.
