I haven’t made a ton of progress on my 2015 book list since I posted it… but I’ve read so many books on my 2016 list that I figured I’d better hurry up and post it before they were all gone. It’s just that so many of the 2016 books are shorter than the remaining books on the 2015 list!

But I’m getting to the long books on the 2016 list now, so that should slow me down.

Barbara Cooney - Basket Moon (Mary Lyn Ray)

Abbie Farwell Brown - The Curious Book of Birds (I read this on Gutenberg on my phone, only near the end Gutenberg suddenly changed how it displayed on the phone so it was really irritating to read. I hope this isn’t permanent, or it’s going to seriously mess with my ability to read more Angela Brazil.)

Hampton Sides - either On Desperate Ground: The Marines at The Reservoir, the Korean War's Greatest Battle or The Wide Wide Sea: Imperial Ambition, First Contact and the Fateful Final Voyage of Captain James Cook. Has anyone read either?

Margaret Oliphant - still haven’t finished Kirsteen for my 2015 list! But for 2016, Phoebe Jr. or perhaps Salem Chapel?

Gene Stratton Porter - The Harvester

Elizabeth Wein - American Wings: Chicago’s Pioneering Black Aviators and the Race for Equality in the Sky (co-authored with Sherri L. Smith, author of Flygirls, super excited for this one)

Dorothy P Lathrop - The Colt from Moon Mountain

Enid Bagnold - National Velvet (might need to have an accompanying movie night?)

Robert McCloskey - Lentil

Ngaio Marsh - Tied Up in Tinsel (saving for the Christmas season)

Frances Hodgson Burnett - The Good Wolf

Elizabeth Enright - Then There Were Five

Katherine Milhous - A Book for Jennifer (Alice Dalgleish)

Emile Zola - I’ve read Germinal and Nana. Suggestions for my next foray?

D. E. Stevenson - Young Mrs. Savage

Sorche Nic Leodhas - Sea-Spell and Moor-Magic: Tales of the Western Isles (also super excited for this one!)

Maud Hart Lovelace - The Trees Kneel at Christmas (saving this for Christmas too obviously)
