    Thanks for stopping by and leaving your link and comment. I am following you too.

    I think your son would enjoy Diary of a Wimpy kid and another suggestion is Geronimo Stilton. My son loves them and is pretty much through the whole Geronimo series.

    You got some great books. Wishing you a great week.

    I've heard good things about Let's Pretend this Never Happened. The author must have an interesting life if she can write her memoirs so young.

    A top quality selection of books there. Reminds me I really must read another Alexander McCall Smith title - really enjoyed all those I have read previously.

      My problem is that I haven't read any of the 1st 11 in the series. I've been told that you really need to read them in order. I'm going to have to get working! :)

    Ohhh Secretariat! Awesome! I really have to read that book. I've always loved horses, I had a Secretariat toy horse as a kid, and I've seen and LOVE the movie! The story of that horse is just amazing. Why haven't I read the book???

    Enjoy your books :)
