Shelf Discovery Challenge

Booking Mama has announced a reading challenge centered around the book Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading by Lizzie Skurnick. The challenge is to pick six books to read and write a "book report" on and runs from November 1, 2009 – April 30, 2010. Looking through the book's table of contents I see a lot of books that I loved and several that I remember hearing about but never getting around to reading. I think it will be fun to remember and discuss these books from days gone by. Here are the six I think I will read for the challenge:

1. The Cat Ate My Gymsuit – my all-time favorite book from my pre-teen years

2. Fifteen – another favorite

3. A Wrinkle In Time – I never read it but I feel like I should

4. My Darling, My Hamburger – never heard of it but sounds intriguing

5. Jacob Have I Loved – read

6. Summer of My German Soldier – never read
