Today was the first day of Bout of Books 17! I started the day with a morning walk before my kids woke up, during which I listened to about 40 minutes of The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith. This is not really part of my Bout of Books goals, but I may finish it this week, depending on how many mornings I actually get up early.
After that I read 7 books:
- Three Boys and a Lighthouse by Nan Hayden Agle
- B is for Betsy by Carolyn Haywood
- The Davenports and Cherry Pie by Alice Dalgliesh
- The Family Under the Bridge by Natalie Savage Carlson
- Betsy and Billy by Carolyn Haywood
- Just Like David by Marguerite de Angeli
- High-Rise Secret by Lois Lenski
Today's challenge, hosted by Writing My Own Fairytale, asked participants to share their favorite and least favorite book-to-movie adaptation.
My favorite, off the top of my head, is Because of Winn Dixie.
My least favorite, hands down, is The Secret of Moonacre, which is an absolutely atrocious adaptation of Elizabeth Goudge's wonderful novel, The Little White Horse.
Bout of Books continues all week! Check back tomorrow for day two's progress.
