Other Books

    In my last post, I shared a picture of all the books I collected for my birthday and mentioned the bag of books I got to take from the library I volunteered at before summer began. Here’s a picture of those books. I was going to take more, but was worried about having room for them all in the car on the way back to Utah at the end of the summer. 

    Here’s the list-

• Fifty Famous Fairy Tales
• Mary Poppins
• Number the Stars
• The Tales of Uncle Remus (being the huge Disney fan that I am, I have a copy of Song of the South, and of course snatched up this book)
• Island of the Blue Dolphins
• Anne of Green Gables
• Anthem (you can find this on my list of favorites on the sidebar)
• Where the Red Fern Grows
• The Giver
• Gathering Blue
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (you may remember this book from my mishap with my elementary school librarian when I was in third grade)
• Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator
• Summer of the Monkeys

    My mother also gave me a copy of The Little Prince which I love because I love France and the French language. I’m really excited to finally have copies of these books that I loved as a child but haven’t read since. 
    In case you didn’t know, I’ve done a lot of reading recently. I’ve been reading bits and pieces out of the fairy tale books I got for my birthday. It’s been really fun because I actually haven’t read the original versions of the fairy tales. I know the general bits of the story, but now I have copies to reference. I’m so happy. My biggest problem is I have no room to put any of these books when I get back to Utah…

    Keep reading and stay awesome!
