Krysta’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

Thank you, Rosemarie. I did read that. I just was unsure if it was ongoing for those already taking part or open to anyone.

Thank you for the clarification.

Amazing list!

How have I not been part of this before? Is it too late to join?

I am a huge Shakespeare nerd, but have not read everything yet. In fact one of my favourite things I own is a Shakespeare bobble head that proudly sits on my desk at work ("Old Bill" the kids call him and lightly bop him before a test for good luck)

Since I teach high school ELA, I get to play with R&J, Macbeth, and King Lear every year!

I have read all of his histories and most of his sonnets (though I would like to reread those), and almost all of his comedies and tragedies. I would really like to cross the last few off my list in the near future.

I hope it is not too late to take part!

Viola from Twelfth Night. Iago from Othello and Richard from Richard III (great villains!). Elizabeth Bennett from P&P. Piglet from Winnie the Pooh. Rudy from the Book Thief. Jack from The Gunslinger (and other Dark Tower books). the list goes on...

on my couch with my dogs all day long. In the warmer months on our sectional on our deck.

I read the Babysitter Club books and loved the Emily of New Moon books. Other than that, I read whatever I could get my hands on, including classics (Jane Eyre for the first time when I was 9 or 10) and my parents' books... as an adult I started collecting beautiful copies of actual children's books. Winnie the Pooh is probably my favourite.

Read Northanger Abbey today. Nothing like Austen for some romance!

I just realized I have done all of these this week! Cool!

I read The Fault in Our Stars, since I hadn't yet and it was so largely touted as super romantic.
