Do you like reading? I didn’t always, but when I was 10 I learned how awesome it is to pick up a good book and let my imagination put me right in the middle of what was happening. Can you relate? I especially love reading when it is cold outside. Curled up under a blanket with some hot chocolate or tea is great! Here are my top ten favorite books. Hopefully you will enjoy them too. Note: This list is in no particular order. :p
