[Quiet Man Cometh]

On the "book you read in highschool" component of my challenge, I find my mind jumps right back to Island of the Blue Dolphins. I don't think I followed all of it at the time, but I remember it and remember liking it. I'm also considering Bridge to Terabithia, now that I know what's going to happen. Not a fan of sad books but maybe I can handle the school age sad ones now that I'm a grown up ;).

I'm also considering picking up Where the Red Fern Grows, as I've heard a lot about it. There are a few books I remember hearing lots about but never actually getting around to reading. Pretty sure my aunt got me an old copy of Red Fern for Christmas one year, but it's been lost over the years. She also gave us copies of Stewart Little and Trumpet of the Swan. I know I read Stewart Little. I remember starting White Fang and Call of the Wild but I'm not sure I finished either one of them. It might be time for me to go digging around in my mom's book shelves again, to see what I can pull out.

My library course has mentioned an article on story time for kids and I think back to when my dad would read to my sister and I before bed, specifically Ramona and Beezus books.
