Jun. 18th, 2013 11:37 amToday, I bring you: BOOKLOGGING FROM THE PAAAAST!
Okay, so when I was home most recently, I discovered a stack of index cards from elementary school with plot summaries of a bunch of books. I think this was from a project we did in fourth grade where we had a competition to see who could read the most books over a certain period of time, ending in some kind of prize; the dates of the books included seems to bear this out, since I think the most recent publication date of any book in the stack is 1995, when I was ten.
So: here's a list of books read in 1995 by ten-year-old Becca! Comment with a title, if you like, and I will provide a guaranteed accurate plot summary as generated by a fourth-grader. Except possibly for the ones written in crayon, because they're kind of illegible.
( The List )
Notes:
a.) the cards are not, sadly, in original archival order
b.) wait, I did read Rilla of Ingleside? Because I have NO MEMORY of that book
c.) WHO LET ME READ MERVYN PEAKE WHEN I WAS TEN NO WONDER THE NAME 'GORMENGHAST' SUMMONS UP PSYCHOLOGICAL HORRORS FOR ME
