How wonderful that you had a love for books so early on; I think a lot of us share that same passion. And needing an outlet to talk about books? That's why I'm here, too.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-40087511053192727862009-04-02T15:28:00.000-07:002009-04-02T15:28:00.000-07:00Wow.

I only have images of David Copperfield, so do need to read it again at some point. I wonder what it was I found VERY good about the book!<BR/><BR/>Literary Feline: "...it felt like I had all the freedom in the world ...." You are so right! I hadn't quite thought of it that way. I do hope some other bloggers read Sheila's book. I think that a great majority of the book bloggers I follow would enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>cj: I guess I understand the thinking behind shelving the books by grade level, but there are always kids who do not fit in that mold. Since I don't work with children I haven't given it much thought as to a better way to shelve books in school libraries.<BR/><BR/>SmallWorld at Home: Thanks for visiting!<BR/><BR/>tanabata: Maybe we could even have certificates after we finish reading for the challenge! I'm really enjoying Dreams Underfoot. It is just what I was looking for. Hope you read it so we can compare notes.<BR/><BR/>Nymeth: You are so right about needing to be in the mood for Cherryh's intensity!Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-58799208885508535522009-03-30T13:58:00.000-07:002009-03-30T13:58:00.000-07:00Welcome to the Sunday Salon, Terri!

I'm glad to know you're enjoying your first, De Lint, btw!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-76700263116287440782009-03-30T09:10:00.000-07:002009-03-30T09:10:00.000-07:00Welcome to the Sunday Salon, Terri.

I hadn't thought of it but I think you're right that the reading challenges are like little reading programs for us to participate in. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping to read Dreams Underfoot for the Once Upon a Time Challenge too. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.tanabatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592550784537825632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-39375631523881035832009-03-30T05:21:00.000-07:002009-03-30T05:21:00.000-07:00Welcome to the Salon!

When I started my reading blog, I mentioned a comment that my mom had made about all of the books I would check out as a kid - she wondered if I'd actually read them all. The answer, of course, was not all but most. <BR/><BR/>What a silly librarian. Grade level doesn't seem to be the best way to separate books, does it? One of my nieces was reading at a 10th grade level when she was in the 4th grade, for pete's sake.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your memories. I enjoyed reading about them.<BR/><BR/>cjhCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798965643027904154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-48261586945315612202009-03-29T17:58:00.000-07:002009-03-29T17:58:00.000-07:00Welcome to the Sunday Salon, Terri!

I loved it when my mom would set me loose on the library and I could wander and pick out my books at leisure. I'm sure she was never far behind, but it felt like I had all the freedom in the world in those moments. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I love your story about reading David Copperfield at such a young age. You were indeed an avid reader at an early age. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sheila Ortego's book sounds so good!<BR/><BR/>I hope you have a great week, Terri!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-76794459978098703032009-03-29T16:58:00.000-07:002009-03-29T16:58:00.000-07:00Terri, isn't it a wonder that the librarians didn'...Terri, isn't it a wonder that the librarians didn't <I>discourage</I> us from reading?! It sounds like we had similar souls, although the attitude you have toward your experience is better than mine. Despite their best intentions, I turned into a reader who loves to touch the books. ;) I've been meaning to pick up David Copperfield, in fact, all of the Dickens are sorely lacking in my knowledge base. Good for you for tackling it so young!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
