pbjwaffle's "100 Books I Want to Read with My Children (when I have them)"

Add to my lists | Print this list

I don’t yet have children, but these are books that define me and helped me to shape my view of the world, or else are just too beautiful not to share with the next generation.

All magical, they are in no particular order after the first 10 or so.
