This year we kept track of all the books we read, which makes it much easier to look back and choose our favorite reads for the year. In no particular order, these are Rhys's favorites along with his comments about them:
- Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling -- I like the Harry Potter books because the author writes really well, and I love to listen to them on CD because Jim Dale reads them really well. They're funny.
- The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, Book 1: The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood -- Very, very funny.
- Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor -- Really good story. Some parts were sad and some parts were happy, but the book was very, very good.
- Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White -- I really liked the father swan, because it was really funny how he couldn't stop talking. Really good book.
- Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Junior Edition by David Borgenicht and Robin Epstein -- This is a really funny book with good advice for lazy kids.
- Darth Paper Strikes Back by Tom Angleberger -- This book is a lot like the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, which are also some of my favorite books.
- Super Sluggers: Wall Ball by Kevin Markey -- Really good if you like baseball.
- Encyclopedia Brown by Daniel J. Sobol -- I love the mysteries in this series.
- Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle -- My dad read this to me. It has always been one of his favorites, and I really liked it too.
- Frindle by Andrew Clements -- Super funny.

Love the list of faves! Trumpter Swan was a favorite from my childhood and I've been excited to read it again with Izzy! I got her Frindle for her birthday :-)
I don't want to give anything away, but it might just appear on my list of favorites for the year! ;-)
I love the shot of Piper perched atop Rhys!
