Heh. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 29/10/2009 01:20:42 PM
I only know about girls :confused:

So, on the basis that we are better anyway, I will be recommending Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lucy Maud Montgomery and similar, to be followed by Austen and Bronte. Then they can read whatever they like. Oooh, and Roald Dahl. And Philippa Pearce. OK, the list is very very long.


It's going to be fun, really. :D

Such a bizarre mental image to an American. *NM* Ghavrel - 06/11/2009 01:41:14 AM 372 Views
I could not work out why it would be a bizarre image. Rebekah - 06/11/2009 03:27:26 PM 855 Views
