So, life continues to roll on as always. Still can't seem to keep bothe cars working at once and for a couple days bothe were out of commission. >.> haha
But I am in a good mood anyway, because spring has started finally! :D It was actually warm enough (read: not down at freezing) to go walking around yesterday and then we had a thunderstorm last night and more beautiful weather today. Not needing to bundle up is such a nice thing.
Also, started reading Tamora Peirce's Song of the Lioness quartet to my daughter. (I had read them to her when she was just a little baby, but that only 1/8 counts. ;p Now she's actually enjoying the story and brings the book to me to ask me to read it to her.) She really hearts Alanna, and who can blame her? And is generally just enjoying the whole story. Though, I do think some of it is beyond her ability to accurately imagine, at not-quite-three.
It's quite fun sharing stories like this with her. Id est, the stories that I read when I was a youngling. Others that I really want to pick up are Patricia Wrede's Dealing with Dragons set and Jane Yolen's Pit Dragon Trilogy. I know there were a lot of others, but many of them, while I can remember story elements or a single scene I can't remember enough to even search out the title...
Anyone else have recs of good books for young girls?
