Heidi
Foundation Trilogy Little Women Nova Starfish Trilogy Discworld Series My Husband's Book (Below) And my all-time sentimental favorite, Black Beauty. It is the first "real" book I ever read. It had a beautiful black horse running through autumn leaves on the cover. I kept it on the table beside my bed until I learned to read. I still cherish the memory of that book. |
