31
Beats working.
Apparently Scholar's Blog (who informs us that Philip Pullman just won the Freedom of Oxford) had a fantasy meme a little while ago of 50 children's books of her own. Many are fantasy, so I did okay.
The regular rules (as described by Big A little a):
Since anyone can make a blog, it's good to fill out memes of this sort, if only to show your kidlit credentials. Mark the selections you have read in bold. If you liked it, add a star [*] in front of the title, if you didn't, give it a minus [-]. Then, put the total number of books you've read in the subject line.
31 for me.

Thanks to Big A little a for the link.

And Megan Whalen Turner. And Peter Dickinson.
Can you tell I'm becoming addicted to your blog? (So much less lonely than writing that second book all by one's self. . .)
My score was shameful on this one.
I should be doing writing as well. If you feel unproductive, imagine how I'm doing. Post-Newbery there's gonna have to be some shaking up going on around here.
