All the Books Amanda Read This Spring

Amanda (age 10 1/2) also joined in the Spring Reading Thing this year. Here's her report.

My original list had 13 titles, but I couldn't know which books to put on my list. I actually read 29 books.

Ms. Callapidder Days asked some questions, so here are some of my answers.

• Did you finish reading all the books on your spring reading list? If not, why not?
• Did you stick to your original goals or did you change your list as you went along?

I changed my list as I went along. Some of the books I wanted to read, I couldn't find at the library. I didn't read all the books on my list, but I read more books than I listed. My mom didn't let me read certain books, because she hadn't read them yet.

• What was your favorite book that you read this spring? Least favorite? Why?

I liked most of the books I read. I starred * the books that I really liked. I started some books, but didn't finish them if I didn't like them, so they aren't on the list.

• Did you discover a new author or genre this spring? Did you love them? Not love them?

I discovered Caroline Cooney. I really like her books.

• What was your favorite thing about the challenge?

I liked seeing how many books I read in the Spring. I know I could've read more.

I didn't make links to the books, but if you want to check them out, you can search amazon.
