What books did you love as a child? I read & re-read the Lloyd Alexander series of books (The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, and so on). I seem to remember the library's editions of them had woodcut style artwork which I really liked as well. I had a huge format edition of Pinocchio…
Show us your favorite mode of transport. 2003 Civic Hybrid I love love love my little Civic Hybrid. It's got over 97,000 miles on it now, but still runs great . . . all the way past the gas stations 🙂 I just got it back from the body shop yesterday, after having been rear-ended…
