I am still in the middle of reading How Green Was My Valley, a 1939 novel by Richard Llewellyn and I have the last three books lined up to complete my challenge. One of these days I will look for that 1941 movie adaptation in YouTube,.
Well, I’ll be including reading classics this time – children’s classics to boot. The three are all famous stories in the Winnie-The-Pooh series, The House At Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. I read the first book a long, long time ago and these last three complete the four-volume set. They are short, just more than 500 pages in all.
I always find such treasures every year that I join the challenge. A mixture of memoirs, historical fiction, inspirational books, poems and yes I always try to include classics even if they are for children. There are of course a couple of love stories in between. I’ll probably read Perfume by Patrick Suskind next after I finish How Green Was My Valley. The former is a horror fiction and magic realism in eighteenth century France. This has already been discussed in our book club before, but it’s been several years since I attended a book discussion.
