ReplyDeleteWe love you too!!
DeleteFun list! I think I've read eight of these, but that depends, is Sara Crewe the same as The Little Princess? Ah, Anne of Green Gables is my favorite book!! <3 I've heard of so many of these, and I'll have to try them.
ReplyDeleteSara Crewe is essentially the same as The Little Princess, but shorter and more serious maybe? Personally I like it better than The Little Princess.
DeleteYes, Anne is so wonderful!! What other ones have you read?
I have read some of these. Anne of Green Gables is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteAnne of Green Gables is just wonderful!! Such a comfort book!
