If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers. But you have to know, the point of this hop is to follow other blogs also. I follow you, you follow me. 

The general rules are:

-Follow, Follow, Follow as many as you can. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Don't just follow, comment and say hi in the post! Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say 'hi'
-If someone comments and says they are following you, please follow back! 

This weeks question: What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are some of your favorites to read to them? 

Well, I'm going to change the question a little and just list some of my favorite books as a kid, not necessarily picture books. (: 






I loved everything Lurlene McDaniel wrote, and I'm pretty sure I read it all, if not most of it! 


These books got me hooked on reading. I had horses growing up, so I loved stories that had anything to do with horses. Plus I always wanted a Thoroughbred and to race like they do in these books. I also felt like I grew up with the MC Ashleigh, too :)

  9. I loved The Very Hungry Caterpillar growing up. I don't know the others. The only horse book I ever read was International Velvet which was about one girl's dream to win the Olympics in Equestrian. Following you back via Bloglovin'
