Books Read With Audrey
I’m afraid I have nowhere else to store this list, so for now it’s going to go right here, even though it’s not relevant to this site. Sorry if this disappoints the millions of weekly visitors.
Below is a list of books I’ve read with my daughter Audrey – who was five when we started in early 2009 – and the month we finished each book (if I can remember clearly).
These moments together have been some of the best in my life – just the two of us together before the rest of our house is awake:
