ooks you are a little bit ashamed to admit you have never read. It is probably more or less than a dozen (probably more), but it is a good term.
This year I will read one classic children's book I've never read before a month.
I'm also defining what is a classic. It may be a newer book that is an award winner. It may be 70 years old.
Some adult books may sneak in there, particularly adult books with teen/advanced child appeal. Today I helped a teen find To Kill A Mockingbird which she had expected to find in the teen section. She was a little bemused to be going to the adult section. I read that as a teen and adored it. In fact I was so excited about her starting that journey, getting to experience it for the first time that I almost hugged her. But I didn't because that is creepy. I just tweeted about it instead.
This morning I started Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White. So far it is okay, sweet, a bit didactic, but good. I'll try to blog about the books as I read them, but no promise.<end_of_turn>
