Runny Babbit is one of my favourite books. You'll get such a kick out of it. Shel Silverstein is how I learned to read. My grandmother bought me several of his books when I was five and would read them to me - until I was able to read them back to her. "Listen to the Must'nts, child. Listen to the don'ts..." She is my real Giving Tree. I still have all those books to this day, too.
Very impressive! I'm only up to 12 this year. I keep the list in a Note on FB.
More impressive is the time it took you to write this post. So many links!
You should start a weRead account on Facebook. I keep up with mine online that way and in a notebook too.
Sorry to say, but I would put your amount to shame! LOL.
You do read a wider variety than I do. You're going to love anything by James Patterson, FYI. I know I do. :)
If you get a chance to add any to your list, try Adriana Trigiani's Big Stone Gap Trilogy. It's a really great series! :)
