snugglekittyAlong with being tucked in, being read aloud to is one of my favorite childlike things as an adult. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
7j and I spent most of the year reading Sorcery and Cecilia, or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot to each other. This book is a letter game, so we each read all of the parts for one viewpoint character, which made it fun. However, I can't really recommend this book for reading aloud, because it went very slowly, we had to make snarky comments a lot, and it was hard to remember what was going on from one chapter to the next chapter with the same characters. We went through Sharon Shinn's Dream-Maker's Magic together much more quickly, and any book in that series would make a good read-aloud.
Next up is one of my favorite books ever, and favorites for reading aloud - The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley.
What's your favorite book to read aloud?
Unrelated note: I went out on the Intarweb and found myself some new reading icons today. Nice! Feel free to check them out on my userpics page. I also found a lovely wintery one, which is making me happy since I was only partly successful in finding a new journal background that looked wintery but didn't remind me of that evil holiday. (Just in case you're wondering why I picked Urban Noir - now you know.)
