I've read The Hobbit, Alice in Wonderland and the first Harry Potter but I didn't like any of them. Although admittedly Harry Potter was better than the first two I listed as I read all the way through to and including the third book. But I haven't read any of the others on this list yet!Olivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-83413320980232950712018-08-27T22:23:40.989-06:002018-08-27T22:23:40.989-06:00I never read classics, but I do like Disney's ...I never read classics, but I do like Disney's live-action version of 'Alice.'
