Booklist, 2009, revisited

I just completed A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens and three children's books I bought for the grandkids (and enjoyed). I don't have time to write a review, but there are plenty of good ones online. Suffice it to say I loved Dickens. I am in the middle of reading The Actress (and several other books--like about 8). The Actress was written by the wife of the mother of the woman next door. It's VERY GOOD--well--I think so. So far. Here is my new book list (though I am fairly certain it is incomplete):

1. A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens
2. Marley: A Dog Like No Other, John Grogan
3. Goodnight, Gorilla, Peggy Rathmann
4. Bad Dog, Marley, John Grogan
5. The Highest Tide, Jim Lynch
6. Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens
7. Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens
8. Dream When You're Feeling Blue, Elizabeth Berg
9. We didn't mean to go to Sea, by Arthur Ransome
10. Tara Road, Maeve Binchy
11. Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte
12. The Worst Witch at School, Jill Murphy
13. Saving Fish from Drowning, Amy Tan
14. The Nick Adams Stories, Ernest Hemingway
15. The River King, Alice Hoffman
16. The Probable Future, Alice Hoffman
17. The Book Thief, Markus Zusak
18. Lucifer, A Hagiography, Phillip Memmer
19. It's a Magical World, Bill Watterson
20. Pigeon Post, Arthur Ransome
21. I Claudius, Robert Graves
