I see a lot of my favourites on your list Diane. I will use some of them, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,for sure. I have read it four times.

Rosemarie, start your own thread in this folder, like you did with the around the world challenge.

I was surprised to see how many of the books I have already read. I think I will start over again once I am finished with this round.

Ro..."

Thank you. I am going with Track 3. This is going to be fun. Like you, the newer books are going to be fewer than the older.

Diane  | 13052 comments I was able to find one I have read from every year except this year.


message 9: by Rosemarie (new)

Rosemarie | 3953 comments I haven't found anything from this year either, but it is still early in the year.

Well, 4 of them didn't actually count since they weren't in the top 5, so I took them off.
