I'm glad you found me :) <br /><br />I probably should take a closer look at the adult book sometime, but I'm enjoying the choices in the children's version so much better! I will definitely have to check out The Fire Eaters at some point.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-4972995485409981412013-03-25T22:07:13.662-04:002013-03-25T22:07:13.662-04:00Hi Christine, I just found your blog from the Book...Hi Christine, I just found your blog from the Books about Books challenge. I gasped when I saw that you had read the 1001 Children's Books book. I love this book so much. I found out about it when it came out in 2009, and got it for Christmas that year. A few days after Christmas I'd decided that I was going to read through the books (I've got the adult 1001 book too, but haven't started anything so audacious- maybe when I've finished the kids 1001?). I even started a yahoo group to see if there were any other like minded individuals- and there were! I've read 200+ books now, and it's an amazing ride. I love your idea of creating a 1001 page on your blog, I must do that too. Soon. I hope you get to reading some more of the books- I'm reading a rather stunning one right now called The Fire-Eaters by David Almond.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-58386903207330085872013-02-09T18:21:35.241-05:002013-02-09T18:21:35.241-05:00You definitely should!

Looking forward to seeing which ones you've read if you decided to do a list too :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-88354837631041717082013-02-04T17:45:51.760-05:002013-02-04T17:45:51.760-05:00I have yet to get my hands on a copy of the 1000 b...I have yet to get my hands on a copy of the 1000 books you must read before you die, although I hope to at some point. I too have never heard of this children's version. I went over to your page that has the list and it is very interesting with some great books on there, some I have and some I haven't read. What a great idea to keep track! I may have to do this. I will see if my library has it.<br /><br />P.S. I love lists too...nothing wrong with that! :)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.com
