What really strikes me is the sheer amount of youth reading we have now. Back in the day there was not a lot of fiction for kids. Now there are whole departments in bookstores of youth fiction.

I read Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and a few others. I read Tom Sawyer, Hans Brinker, Heidi, The Secret Garden, Little Princess and others from times past. Now I can go to Half Price Books and rack up a bunch of things for her. I usually try to grab the first couple of books of a series.

Very proud of the fact that I gave her the first three Lemony Snicket books and she loves them!
