Holes.
Wonder. Mary Poppins. How to train your dragon but that’s a whole series of books so maybe too much for a bookclub. |

Little Princess I had not seen Harry Potter at all or read any of the books. Coincidentally, found the #1 and DVD from Goodwill yesterday, and ofcourse I started to watch DVD before reading the book. I read a few pages and I liked the way she writes. Easy to read for foreigner like myself. Once the kids are bigger, add some Russian books. If the books are too long, I'd read the myself, retell the book and then watch a movie. For reading, Chekhov's short stories are great. |
