Uh, well. It’s two and a half years later, and I certainly didn’t read 30 books in 2005. But I tried. I read slowly. Also, it was a horrendous year academically and emotionally. I’m not surprised. I’ve read more by not setting a numerical limit on my intented reading. Plus I read more children’s books now, and gosh are they packed full of meaning for so few pages!

Madonnas of Leningrad, The Three Questions, Jordan’s Hair, This is the Dream, The Faithful Friend, Freedom Summer, The Other Side, Keep Climbing, Girls, Amazing Grace, And Tango Makes Three, Dogs Do! Dogs Don’t!, Tibet: Through the Red Box, My Daddy is a Pretzel, There is No Such Thing as a Dragon, Prayer, Cannonball Simp, The Greatest Power, The Hungry Coat, The Book of Qualities, The Librarian of Basra, Owen & Mzee: The Language of Friendship, The Twelve Gifts of Marriage, Expecting Adam, The Tipping Point, Love Made Visible, Papa Do You Love Me?, Voice of the Wood, After Dachau, Someday (Alison McGhee), Tear Soup, The Gigantic Turnip, Mama Do You Love Me?, HUG, Big Momma Creates the World, Someone Came Before You, Out of the Girl’s Room and Into the Night, When Abraham Talked to the Trees, In the Beginning (Steve Turner retelling), Peaceful Piggy Meditation, Samsara Dog, The Apology, Crito, On Liberty, Becoming Me, The Red Wolf, Feathers and Fools, Will You Still Be My Daughter?
