My youngest, who is 8, loves the Magic Tree House books. His brother loved them when he was that age too. ;)

I got two books today from blaise for my BallySwappers month (December):

The Awakening by Kate Chopin - I read this many years ago and have thought about rereading it. Guess this is my sign that I should do so.

Thanks, blaise!

Corbin will be 8 in a few weeks. Before Magic Tree House, he would not read for fun. But he asked for Magic Tree House books for Christmas. I'll give up grocery money to get him those books if it will get him to enjoy reading! :D Now, he's actually picking up books to read for fun, like the Narnia series.

I stopped at B&N today to pick up a little something for my V-day partner...and got some good stuff on their bargain section! I got 2 of the MTV teen books (there were actually three on sale but Fantasy just sent me one) and a crapload of RDIs. I got Mafic Chic for 4 bucks. I also picked up The Washingtonienne for 5 bucks.

They also had a bunch of audiobooks available in the bargain section. Unfortunately, the couple I was interested in I couldn't get, 'cause almost all of them were on cassette and I need CD. :(
