Connie's Classics:

1)The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain 11/06/18 (I had a chuckle when I opened this book to read and it was my maiden name written inside - I've been married for 39 years. I bought this book when I was still a teenager - long ago!)

Did you like it? I read it last year. It was different, but I liked it.

[Kate]

I liked it enough to read it very quickly. I feel so bad for Constance, though. Is she happy? And why did Uncle Julian think that Merricat was dead? How is that even possible? There was a lot to read between the lines!

Hi Linda, you've already listed Amos Fortune under Prize Winners, so it can't be used in this category. Thank you!

[Gina]

1) The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
2)Charlotte's Web - E.B White - read with my kids. Just as good as I remembered...and still needed a Kleenex at the end.
I have a feeling numbers 3, 4,and possibly 5 will all be kids books as I've just dug out The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with the plan of moving on to them as soon as the kiddos finish the Harry Potter series

Hey Stephanie, I had read another prize winner so I removed Amos Fortune from Prize Winners and added it to classics. I was also going to remove A Wrinkle in Time from Science Fiction and move it to classics. Is that not okay? Once I assign it to a category, it needs to stay there?

Sorry, I did a lookup on my spreadsheet but didn't go back and check to see if you'd moved anything. You CAN move things if need be. Maybe drop me an email on changes so I can update the spreadsheet? That's how I keep track of who's read what and how many we've read.
