I'm really looking forward to these books! I started The Yearling yesterday.
I wish I had time to read (and reread) these, too. Will you review them? That would be great. Two more you might want to consider: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt and The Giver by Lois Lowry.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bruce! I do plan to review them, but I am thus far unreliable about actually writing reviews. =P So we'll see!
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions! Tuck I would call MG and not YA, although it is a classic. I just reread that one five or six years ago. The Giver has been more like fifteen years, and it is indeed on my list to read for the challenge (but since I already owned it, it's not on this list).
Ahh so many books,so lucky :) Happy Reading :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maire! =) It's good to have an excuse to focus on some old classics.
ReplyDeleteWow you got heaps of books. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rebecca! =) I love diving into a new pile of books... probably why my public library visits are so ridiculous. =)
