I think I read one during my childhood, A Wrinkle in Time, and can not figure out how I was a voracious reader as a child and hadn't read others. The other ones on my finished list were titles I read when my son read them. Thanks for your thoughts on these. I'll try to fit these to some of my reading moods.

Good for you for wading through the bad with the good. <br /><br />That sheep book--geez. I liked Midwife's Apprentice, which I read as an adult, but still don't remember much about. I always confuse it with Catherine, Called Birdy. And I think I read It's Like This, Cat back when it was only 10-15 years out of date.

I remember liking it but absolutely 0% of anything else that happened. 😂Although I tend to avoid MG these days because I do predict it too easily but I loved it at 12 so maybe I got old and gnarly.😂CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-66482512347023357022018-05-19T08:31:23.848-06:002018-05-19T08:31:23.848-06:00My favorite “fact” was the midwife yelling into th...My favorite “fact” was the midwife yelling into the mother’s vagina to get the baby’s attention.

You talked about Cat showing its age. I am curious if the year is ever referenced in the story, because I read somewhere that if a book is set 25 or more years in the past, it is considered historical fiction. I know, my life is historical XDSamantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-10947717467970764552018-05-17T09:38:38.666-06:002018-05-17T09:38:38.666-06:00The Miguel cover is beautiful!The Miguel cover is beautiful!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.com
