Considering how much how I love reading I am a little stunned (little?), that I haven't really made more of one of my favourite topics - books. The pictures below just show a few of what my 9-year old is reading now and has been reading over the last two years.
I don't know if you can tell, but we love the series! Bailey School Kids, Magic Tree House, Boxcar Children, Magic School Bus, How to Train your Dragon, Lightning Thief, Mysterious Benedict Society, Inkheart, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, anything Star Wars - plus assorted stories I've been trying to get him to read. We've mutually agreed that since some of the later Harry Potter books are a bit dark, he doesn't need to get into those just yet.
We are so blessed that Lucas loves to read, we hope we can continue to feed his love of reading, for ideas and for entertainment. At the same time, who knows what he is learning or remembering what he reads!
And while the books we get for Lucas are all new - Liam has to make do with fewer new books, but a ready-made library of 2nd-hand books from his brother.
And Liam doesn't get real shelves - his bookshelves are diaper and wipe boxes. They work!
And my shelves? Well, I think it's enough that my shelves are in the blog, you don't need pictures too!

I love Enid Blyton!
I loved Enid Blyton too, so I got a few for Lucas to try out.
Not quite as much action (read fighting) as he'd like, but he enjoyed reading the adventures of the wishing chair.
I'm still hoping he'll read more :)
