We've also read Stig of the Dump, which I thought was rather profoudnly British. I enjoyed it for it's more imaginative parts. Lachlan didn't ever really take to it from what I remember. I see you've got a few Australian books there this time as well, glad to see that you could find some. I've read Drac and the Gremlin, and some other Tohby Riddle books, but not that one.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-90295102755723781502010-07-26T07:15:39.431-05:002010-07-26T07:15:39.431-05:00What a fantastic effort Debbie.

I'm definitely still counting forwards (I've read 130+, I haven't checked for a little while). It's so great to see your wonderful level of enthusiasm for the quest. I KNOW we'll finish it.

And I...+JMJ+<br /><br />Congratulations on getting that far!<br /><br />And I had to laugh at the novels considered appropriate for children. For young adults, maybe, but teens are supposed to be in a separate category nowadays, right?<br /><br />This reminds me of the book <i>The Way to Write for Children</i> by Joan Aiken. From the examples she uses, she seems to consider Charles Dickens' entire body of work to be "children's books"--but then again, during the Victorian era, children and adults were pretty much reading the same material, aye?<br /><br />Good luck with the rest of your list! =)Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-12293398213466713942010-07-25T20:00:15.216-05:002010-07-25T20:00:15.216-05:00Awesome goal and great work so far.
