Agree!!

Before this, I had only seen Pippi on TV. Watched it every time I saw it on as a child. It was very cool to get to read it finally.

I am sad to report, this will assuredly be my last update for the year. I am two books short of my goal. But it was a fun time. Going to miss Listopia next year. I know I could use Bookworms....Shelfies for it. However, that challenge looks like too much fun to only fill the Listopia shelf.
