1. Ramona The Pest

I can’t remember whether I finished reading Ramona The Pest before or after 2013, so I decided this would make a better first book of the year than Rule of the Bone.

This is the second book in the Ramona series by Beverly Cleary.  And yes indeed, Ramona Quimby is hilarious and adorable. I love reading about her antics, but not sure if I would be able to handle having a daughter like her once mine reaches kindergarten age.

 I know Conan would prefer a Ramona Q. but I think I’d be much happier (and saner) with a Beezus!
