JKR's top ten books for children

The Royal Society of Literature magazine recently published an article containing the top ten books Jo Rowling believes all children should read:

Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl
Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe
David Copperfield, Charles Dickens
Catch-22, Joseph Heller
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Animal Farm, George Orwell
The Tale of Two Bad Mice, Beatrix Potter
The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger
Hamlet, William Shakespeare

I haven't read Wuthering Heights, Robinson Crusoe, or David Copperfield. I'm pretty sure I've read the Tale of Two Bad Mice before, but I can't remember it specifically. But I'm assuming bacause we had a lot of Beatrix Potter books when we were little.

I can't wait until she tries this on the top shelf. Remember that?

This Katya person sounds a lot like Emily, except that she can spell.

Poem

Bonnie got a new laptop for Christmas-- with wireless internet-- yay! Except, now she emails me during her classes when she is bored. This is part of the email she sent me this morning:

Holly! I am pretty bored in my class. I wish you would write something witty, humorous, and hilariously funny so that it could entertain me in this class. Please, I would greatly appreciate it.

I was pretty bored myself, so I wrote her some limericks. This is by far my favorite, but it is a bit scandalous. And also, not technically a limerick:

There once was a girl stuck in class
And she wanted a friend to harass
Her friend could not bear
To be caught in a swear
So she called her a pain in the butt

Faking?

Sarah was up all night being sick, a phrase which here means "throwing up on her bed and mine." Of course, this morning, she's eating and apparently feeling fine...after I called to say she wouldn't be at preschool. Do I have a mini-faker on my hands? It seemed pretty authentic to me...

That was hilarious, IMHO

Can I shoot lazer beams from my third eye which can potentially cause harm to my boyfriend? Also what about a flower superimposed on an incline plane?

Someone deleted the Noah-ness

I give you...action boy! 

Clean up, clean up!

I deleted all of the posts from last year! I know it really doesn't affect any of you, but it makes things a lot faster to publish, etc. It's a good thing, trust me. I just wanted to share my accomplishment with all of you (it took a while to do it-- it's very tedious). Anyway, happy Melissa (MLK) Day everybody!
