The Paper Bag Princess is really cute. And I always loved the Emily books more than Anne. I've got Oryx and Crake on my shelf, too.
Awesome! Ready, set, read!
Loved the Cellist!
Among the Shadows can double for the RIP as well, not that they are scary, per se, but there are mysterious things, and maybe a ghost or two.
I want to read The Tenderness of the Wolves and the Diviners. I liked Laurences Stone Angel a lot.
Gone to an Aunt's sounds good, what a great title.
And The Paperback Princess! It's a favorite book at our house, since I am Elizabeth, and my husband is Ron, the bum.
What a great list!!!!
Have to decided to join Canadian Challenge with you! :)
...Does this mean that you've NEVER READ The Paperbag Princess? *cries for your lost childhood*
Seriously, if Robert Munsch is previously unknown to you, also look into Mud Puddle and Mortimer and I Have to Go! If you can find some five-year-olds to read them to, I promise that you will not regret it.
Jeane,
I just finished The Paper Bag Princess. I like Fifty Below Zero better, but TPBP is cute.
raidergirl3,
I was LOL at Ron's only bit of dialog. He sounds like a Korean guy...they're always critiquing their girlfriends' appearance.
Ambearo,
Yeah, I'm looking forward to settling in on cold winter evenings and reading Canadian.
Eva,
Yay!!!
Raych,
I have filled an all-important gap by finishing The Paper Bag Princess. Bravo Munsch!
I love your list! Although I haven't read half of them, and you know I like The Diviners. I have to find some of my childrens' copies of Robert Munsch, I know we have some, but they have two separate bookshelves and we've been reading library books instead lately.
