So I started organizing the upstairs library at home, and have discovered and rediscovered some books that I've either been wanting to read for a while, or just struck my fancy when I read the back.
Another thing I've re-realized is that my family owns a plethora of books. Really it's quite ridiculous and wonderful. And this is just the upstairs library, next will be the downstairs and all the random bookcases around (mostly I'm trying to get authors' books all together).
Basically, before you go to the library, you might want to check with the Longs. Ah the joys of having a Literature teacher for a mother and an English Literature major as a sister.
So here is my list, which I will update (I'll mark those I'm reading right now with IP for In Progress).
Travels with Charley - John Steinbeck (IP)
The House on Mango Street - Sandra Cisneros (IP)
The Jumping Tree - René Saldaña, Jr.
The Boy Who Could Make Himself Disaappear - Kin Platt
The Westing Game - Ellen Raskin
Fantastic Mr. Fox -Roald Dahl
Stargirl - Jerry Spinelli
The Tiger Rising - Kate DiCamillo
The Mysterious Benedict Society - Trenton Lee Stewert
The Girl-Son - Anne E. Neuberger
