Tentative Library Books for the Library Reading Challenge

I would like to start by saying, wow, what a great idea. What an excellent way to bump library statistics than to challenge people to read books thay have to check out with a library card. Way to go, J. Kaye!

TOTAL: This entire list comes out to over 200 books, plus whatever unplanned books I read for our weekly storytimes. Wish me luck!

I know I have read some of the American Girl Short Stories, and Encyclopedia Brown, Amelia Bedelia, and Marissa Moss books before, so as I come across them and realize I've already read them, I'll take them off the list. I don't like re-reading what with all the potentionally amazing books out there.

So many books, so little time!
