Favorite adoption related book - Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born

Favorite NAR Book - Harry Potter series will always be, hands down, my favorite all time book(s).
Current fav NAR book - I'm digging the series by Michael Scott - The Alchemyst, The Magician

Favorite kids book - I'm partial to the Bernstein Bears collection. They were my favorite when I was a kiddo!

Favorite adoption related book: Instant Mom by Nia Vardalos (I haven't read many AR books yet, but this one was really a great read.)

Favorite NAR book: I could not possibly choose a favorite book... There are too many!
The Harry Potter series is simply amazing. It's the books I think about when I think about what I will read to my kids, so they definitely get "favorite" status.
Jane Eyre has been a favorite of mine since high school.

Favorite kids book: The Sleep Book, by Dr. Seuss. My mom and dad read it to my brothers and me every single night until I was eight. The original book my mom bought actually fell apart it was read so much! It's covered in tape to hold it together and looks like it has been through a war zone lol.I love it so so so much.

I love the HP series as well! I am so excited that my boys are finally old enough that we can start reading the first book!

I cannot WAIT to read to our LO.

When we were trying out chairs/gliders, I actually brought two different size books with me to practice reading in the chair with the books. People stared but it helped determine which one we chose! hahaha.

I'm in the middle of The Connected Child, which I think is great! This is the first adoption related book I've read so far.

I also couldn't possibly choose a favorite novel. I am most currently in love with the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and am currently on book 6 (out of 8). I also love the All Souls Trilogy - A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night were fantastic. I have the third book on my Kindle, waiting to be read.

My favorite kids books are the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. That darn pigeon cracks me up!

Priorities. Yours are awesome.

seriously though, who buys a chair they can't read in properly? Some kids books are big!

1. You can adopt without debt (Julie Gumm).
