They'll all be ABC books if I can figure out how! No sense double reading ... ;)

I have 16 books left over from my 2012 list and most of them have been slotted into my alphabet challenge. Unfortunately, there are a few that start with C. I'll select just one of them for the alphabet.

Fantastic list ThingTwo!
I see some wonderful titles on it and may have to steal a few from your list to add to mine.

Thanks, Kimberly!

I haven't. I chose it because of the Anne Frank connection.

:) She received these books on her last birthday before she went into hiding.

I'm working on a "project" loosely based around Anne Frank, and feel it would be helpful to read the books she so enjoyed.

When it's published, I'll be sure to mention it on Goodreads ...

Ah ... you may have to wait a while. :)
