Day 25 I would have loved to have had PLAY LIKE A GIRL as I could relate to Misty in MANY ways. I also would have loved & still know we need more books like tackling alcoholism in a very realistic manner where I could have seen myself.

I seem to have mixed up my the days of A book that made me laugh out loud is The Dark Prophecy from 's Trials of Apollo series. The whole series is humorous - from the chapter titles to the warped haiku to the character's comments.

Day 29 ~ I don't have the time to binge series anymore, as I'm always on the lookout for new books for my students. But when I was a kid, I binged them all the time, especially Narnia.

Day 22 ~ It has such great visuals, I'd love to see Witch Hat Aterlier get a film! I think animation is the way to go for this one, since art is the source of magic. Don't ask me about casting, though!
