EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

I do plan to read this. Going to the library tomorrow. I have never read it but I do remember seeing the animated TV movie many times back in the early '80's I believe. I look forward to it as I am an animal lover and it is listed on a books-for-animal-lovers list here on GoodReads. And also because it is considered a classic.

I’m planning on reading! It’ll be a first read for me. I rarely read any fiction in my elementary career and by the time I learned the joys of it, the younger books weren’t even on my radar. I’m excited to see what I’ve missed out on!

This is a childhood favorite. I am looking forward to a reread

I've read it several times. Most recently I did so for the Newbery Club. Bit of trivia: it's an honor book, was bested for the medal by Secret of the Andes which I'd be surprised to learn if any of you have ever heard of!

I think I may be one of the few who have heard of Secret of the Andes. I had a childhood friend who was born in Peru. Her grandma gave her this book. I always meant to borrow it but never did

Renee, it's an interesting book and if you get a chance to read it you might like it.

I'm very excited to read this childhood classic! I watched the animated film quite a bit when I was young but I don't believe I ever actually read the book.

Time to correct that!

I’m about 1/3 of the way through this little classic kids title. I’ve never read it or had it read to me as a child, but I do remember seeing the film in school and the book has refreshed my memory of that time in my life.

I know I read this in elementary school, but I plan to re-read it to my children this month. They love the film version--I hope they like the book as well! I'm looking forward to hearing it again myself.

I'm in! I've never read the book or seen the movie. Don't know how I missed it growing up. It was written one year after I was born! Just started it yesterday.

Just came home from library, got my copy so I'll be joining. Need something fresh and sweet after finishing "Perfume";)

Growing up in Sweden I read other children literature - and saw other children cartoons - so I know more or less nothing about the book. I've had Charlotte's Web on my to-read list for around a year now and this will be the perfect reason to tick it off the list. Really looking forward to reading it.

This was one of my absolute favorite childhood books! Looking forward to discussing it.

Exciting to read all the positive comments. It's a book that I wouldn't normally pick up by myself, so glad to have the motivation from the group to give it a go.

My cousin (who is about 10 years younger than me) loved the animated movie when he was a toddler, so I've seen it more times than I can count. I really did enjoy it too. I think it is such a nice story. When he was 3 our local high school did the play and we took him to see it. It was a lot of fun!

I'm excited to finally read the book. I put a hold on a copy at my library and should be able to go pick it up in a day or two.

I read this in English last year for a different club. I'm a firm believer in reusing books for EVERY bookish project/list/club I am involved in. As a linguist, I am beyond excited to reuse this, this time in Spanish translation! I've never read it in Spanish before. Heading to the library for it tomorrow.

Also, sorry I'm "late', but I also believe book clubs are more adventurous when you ''lay low'' and don't follow the order everyone else is.

Oooft would love a re-read of Charlotte's Web, think I will put off until winter!
