So nice that you made this discovery and have a challenge to go with it.

It's kind of relaxing to have a challenge that need not be completed within a prescribed time.

I loved "My Side of the Mountain!" Enjoy your challenge. I'm interested in your "65 years of Books." :)

Thanks! I'm actually 63 but it will probably take me a few years to finish, LOL!

I know that because I was born in 1958 and am only 64! :)
Haha! I guess we have "65" to look forward to!
I'm interested in your 65 years of Books because a lot of them might be the same as mine :)

I just compared books, we should be friends ;)

Let's do it! :)

And here is my first book review in this category.....1959.....

This is a fun one!!

Thank you Lynn! I'm trying to decide which book for 1960. It's so hard to choose from so many classics for that year!

Thanks to Katy for the reminder on my thread here.

Next up is a re-read of To Kill a Mockingbird which was published in 1960, then Travels with Charley: In Search of America , published in 1961
which I have never read but always wanted to.

You are welcome.

I skipped To Kill a Mockingbird and read Travels with Charley: In Search of America last year. So Mockingbird is on for this year. My review of Travels:

Lovely to see you pick this one back up, Cindy!
