With my recent frenzy of reading children's books, I've reached my goal for the "You've Got Mail" Challenge. I love that movie so much, though, I was really tempted to keep the picture on my blog just to bring a smile to my face every time I saw it. I read:
Maurice Sendak: Pierre: A Cautionary Tale Told In Five Chapters And A Prologue
Where The Wild Things Are
Ludwig Bemelman: Madline
Madeline And The Gypsies
Madeline And The Bad Hat
Madeline's Rescue
Madeline In America
E. B. White: Stuart Little
Charlotte's Web
L.M. Montgomery: Anne Of Green Gables
Kay Thompson: Eloise
Lewis Carroll: Alice's Adventures In Wonderland
Roald Dahl: James And The Giant Peach
Shel Silverstein: Where The Sidewalk Ends
Jane Austen: Northanger Abbey
I'd actually only planned on reading 10 books for the challenge but those Madeline books just sucked me in!
Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Bonus that we picked Anne for our classic this year.
ReplyDeleteHave we picked a classic for 2011? Madame Bovary has a new translation (by Lydia Davis) that might be interesting. It's the Double X book pick for January (Slate). I have a copy sitting on my nightstand that I hope to read soon - have to finish A Suitable Boy first.
Excellent job!! I failed several challenges including yours!! But I'm going to pretend that the Gilmore Girls challenge goes until the end of 2011...there's so many great books to choose from!!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I like that movie too even more so now that I don't work so much at a giant bookstore!
