It's the chronic(what?)cles of narnia

71) Holiness, Mark Rutland
72) The Magician's Nephew, CS Lewis
73) The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, CS Lewis

Golden Books - 66 - 70

I know, I know, cheating, but hey, I'm only cheating against myself and self-imposed goals. So I read 5 Golden Books.

66) Pinocchio
67) Dumbo
68) Peter Pan
69) Jungle Book
70) 101 Dalmations

Also, I forgot to mention below, but Beatrix Potter books are really all just about how you shouldn't take your clothes off. Interesting...

63,64,65

63) The Tale of Tom Kitten, Beatrix Potter
64) The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter
65) The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini

Hopefully I'll make it to 75...

Another Productive Week

81) The Man Who Planted Trees, Jean Giono
82) Yiddish with George & Laura, Ellis Weiner & Barbar Davilman
83) Being Perfect, Anna Quindlen
This last one actually resonated with some recent thoughts I've been sorting through -- strange how patterned and themed life can become. Am I seeing it that way simply because I've named the categories, or is there some more cosmic cause to seemingly coincidental correlation?

84) The March, E.L. Doctorow
Because not all of the books I read in these last few weeks should be easy.

51 - 62

51) The Gift Of The Magi, The Purple Dress - O Henry
52) Mother - Maya Angelou
53) Being Perfect - Anna Quindlen
54) Would You? - Mcfarlane & Saywell
55) Yiddish With George & Laura - Weiner & Davilman
56) Bad Baby - Rosen, Pritchett & Battles
57) Just Like Heaven - Patrick McDonnell
58) Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code - Eoin Colfer
59) Sew Easy - Linda Lee
60) Favorite Celtic Fairy Tales - Joseph Jacobs
61) Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception, Eoin Colfer
62) Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs

47, 48, 49, 50!

47) Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer
48) Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident - Eoin Colfer
49) The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists - Gideon Defoe
50) The Pirates! In An Adventure With Ahab - Gideon Defoe

HALFWAY! And I've got a whole 25 days left.

Literary Nostalgia

76) The Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams
An excerpt was quoted in church this morning and so I just had to go back and read it -- it's SO good -- which then led to an evening of other childhood favorites:

77) Sarah, Plain and Tall, Patricia MacLachlan
78) Skylark, Patricia MacLachlan
79) Little Bear, Else Holmelund Minarik
80) Frog and Toad Together, Arnold Lobel

Naturally, this selection has nothing, well, um, little to do with the fact that I still have 20 books to read in 28 days.
