It took me forever, and like you I felt accomplished when I finished too. I think I did enjoy it, but unfortunately I can remember very little of it. I'd like to re-read it some day.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28411057.post-52382671548437063622008-05-14T09:45:00.000-07:002008-05-14T09:45:00.000-07:00My favorite childhood books:Nothing Ever Happens o...My favorite childhood books:<BR/><BR/>Nothing Ever Happens on My Block (a picture book)<BR/><BR/>From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E.

I loved to read as a child, but didn't really have anyone to encourage me in my selections; therefore, I feel that I missed out on some great reads.
