Glad to see that you enjoyed "The Discovery of the Titanic" as much as I did, Tarissa. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know (until now) that you started reading Narnia books, but I'm always happy when my friends read those!
You really need to read Oliver Twist sometime too.
Squeeee!!! So happy that both "Crocodile on the Sandbank" and "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie" made it onto your list!
ReplyDeleteHow far have you made it in the Flavia books?
ReplyDeleteI used to re-read The Birds' Christmas Carol every year at the holidays. Must remember to borrow it from the library next December.
