I used to keep track and share the books I read or listened to on Audio and I loved doing that. I fell away from even having time to read when I initially switched from working in Corporate America to being home full-time. But I eventually found a rhythm and I’m excited to bring it back to the blog.
I’ll be honest, my goal was to do this in January, but I didn’t find my reading rhythm until recently so I didn’t actually finish a book until March. So… we’re starting now 😛
I’ll share the links to the books in case you want to grab your own copy, but check your libraries (free!) or local used book stores (typically extremely discounted).

Magic Treehouse Series – Book 1 – Dinosaurs Before Dark
I picked up this series thinking it would be fun to read a chapter or two to the girls before bed or during the day. I had never read this series as a kid myself but I remember my brother eating them up. Sure enough, it didn’t take us long to get through the first book because Rylie enjoyed it so much.
Magic Treehouse Series – Book 2 – The Knight at Dawn
Such a fun story. I also love that I can read multiple chapters to the girls at a time while we’re eating lunch, playing outside or winding down for bed.
Magic Treehouse Series – Book 3 – Mummies in the Morning
So far, this was my least favorite book in the series. Harmless as the idea seems, our family is not a fan of ghosts and when the siblings help a dead ghost queen find the right clues to lead her to the afterlife – it just wasn’t my cup of tea. So I did a lot of tweaking to the words (perk of being the only one who can read :P).
The Indian and the Cupboard
This is the book I deem my childhood favorite. While I never actually read the book, I remember listening to it on audio multiple times throughout my childhood and reenacting the concept with my dollhouse. Reading it now as an adult brings me a lot of joy as a remember the endless hours I played with my toys (which I’ve since passed on to my daughters).
