August Book Basket...

Since August is back to school month here in Georgia we are going with a school/ABC themed collection. A smattering of this and that with a few favorites thrown in for good measure. I'm already itching to start compiling books for September, October, November, and December. I really do love the second half of the year because the weeks pass quickly and we go from one season/holiday to the next. Plus, it means the return of college football. :) Anyone else eagerly looking forward to the next few months?
