Hello all! How did everyone brave the week? I have been miserable for most of it due to this cold that turned into the flu. I'm getting better, but I'm still not 100%. I'm really hoping it goes away within the next few days as I need to start preparing for National Novel Writing Month, not to mention the release of Black Fox's issue #2! I'll try the "getting my life together thing" again this weekend. But that's only if I can get rid of this bug.It's Friday so it's time for Friday Fives! The blog Paper Hangover asks:

I totally loved the Berenstein Bears and Amelia Bedelia too! Great list :)
October 14, 2011 at 9:00 AMI like the Corduroy books, though I didn't discover them until I was grown up.
October 14, 2011 at 9:39 AMAmelia Bedelia-- man, in retrospect, how did she manage to keep that job? If it wasn't for her excellent cooking, she so would have been canned. I LOVED those books. :0)
October 14, 2011 at 9:40 AMCongrats to the winners! Where the Wile Things are for sure, plus In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, too. Happy thoughts. :)
October 14, 2011 at 10:42 AMThe only one I never read as a kid (as far as I remember) is Corduroy. The rest I loved.
October 14, 2011 at 10:59 AMI never read any Amelia Bedelia until we had kids. Great stuff--really funny, even when you can see the misunderstanding coming a mile away.
October 14, 2011 at 11:03 AMFun choices. I remember Amelia Bedelia too. Those were fun books.
October 14, 2011 at 1:51 PMWow thanks!!
October 15, 2011 at 1:26 AMI was SO excited to meet the so of the Berenstein Bears creators - I learned to read on those books. I even did a guest post for Baffled Books about them lol.
I never read Miss Nelson is Missing but I loved the other ones too. :)
October 15, 2011 at 9:41 PMMy ultimate favorite book was an anthology I had of the Grimm Brothers. It was a collection of all their fairy tales. I also loved Aesop's Fables. Those stories stuck in my head and I still remember them fondly.
October 16, 2011 at 10:18 AMAmelia Bedelia was awesome :D
October 17, 2011 at 1:21 PMCongrats to the winners.
October 17, 2011 at 3:41 PMI loved the Frog and Toad books best, as well as any type of fairy tale.
