Added to my overflow on the 25+ post. (I read the first three books over every three years or so.) Can't wait to check out some of these picks.S.L.

I tweeted once about my TDIR love and the niece of Susan Cooper herself stopped by to say hello. She said she'd pass on my compliments to her aunt, and I almost died. It was a magical Twitter moment.<br /><br />(PS. More books to come!)S.L.

But you listed pretty much ALL my favorite YA books on your list. I am pretty sure I read "The Dark Is Rising" 15 times when I was in middle school.

Mine would include HP and maybe Ella Enchanted (I need to reread!) but other than that, completely different choices.Laurel Symondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068689723273405111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524847123828720703.post-72911857705085585582011-05-20T12:36:51.347-04:002011-05-20T12:36:51.347-04:00Yay!
