Hmm, of these books, I've read B, D, E, and F, but I can't say that I have a traditional "back to school book." Of course, that may be partly because I'm homeschooled. :) And I don't think Jane Eyre or A Little Princess would get me excited for school so much as making me dread it. :)

Great points, Brenna. Thanks for commenting! :-)
DeleteFun idea, Laura! I don't think I have any specific books that got me psyched for the school year, but these are some excellent options. I did always enjoy the start of a new school year in the Harry Potter books, and Fangirl brought back some great (and some awkward) college memories :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie! Fangirl is a big one for me too. Such a fun school book. :)
