I'm looking forward to re-reading quite a bit of Shakespeare this year as I teach my son about the Middle Ages and Renaissance!
Harry Potter is definitely a classic. ;)
Great list! Several of those are on my list too...Narnia, Shakespeare, Harry Potter series...
Enjoy!
Great list Kerrie! I read Life of Pi by Yann Martel earlier this year and loved it. And also, The Egyptologist by Arthur Phillips.
Hope to write to you later on when I have a minute...still catching up with all my chores for the week right now :P
