From the 46 banned books on the Classics list, I've read two more from last year, so I'm now at 11...
4. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee I've just added one book from the Top 100 from 2000 to 2009, bringing my total to 14 books read...
4. And Tango Makes Three, by Justin Richardson/Peter Parnell When I started looking at the Top Ten Lists of each year, I discovered that I had read at least one book from each list! Except for two years: 2005 and 2003. Ack! So my goal is to read a book from each of those Top 10 lists! I'm on a banned book reading streak! So far I've read: ∞ The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which has been on the yearly top 10 lists since 2010, and has won a ton of awards! ∞ The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks which has faced a very recent challenge in september. This book has also won several awards. And it's totally fascinating. I finished it in less than a week and had a hard time putting it down! And in a bit of weird synchronicity, today (Oct 4) is the day Henrietta Lacks died in 1951. ∞ And I just started Bridge to Terabithia which is on the Top 100 list and on the 2003 Top 10 list (for my goal). |

And, because I never learn, I'll be adding another project for the month of november... Art Every Day Month I had signed up for a drawing class a while ago, which begins november first. So I'll be making an effort to work on that every day. I probably won't have time to post here very often, but hopefully I'll have some drawings to show here and there. |
