I thought I'd post the list of what all the Hippie read this year on her own time. These are just the chapter books. She reads one-sitting picture and non-fiction books all the time, but I don't keep track of those. There is a gentle mix of her own choosing (a bit more twaddle than I'd prefer) and some I suggested. I'm proud of the way she is starting to recognized well-written literature verses not-so-well-written literature! Without further ado ...

Good job! I recently mentioned to my Annie (9) that we should keep track of the books she is reading on her own also. It is rewarding to look back over what you've done. :)

Yes, I do believe there is satisfaction in looking at the list. And, the "Oh, I LOVED that book!" comments as you look. :)
