20 books that have stayed with me

If you follow me on Bluesky, you've already seen this, but not all in one post.  I've decided to share more of my content from over there, but not everything of course,  because that would be, well, rather odd. So I'll be sharing a modified form, and will only include content that feels "journal-ish" to me.  Any Bluesky installments that I think are pertinent to the time when I originally posted will be back dated to their original posting date.

20 Books That Have Stayed With Me/Influenced Me

  1. The Little Brute Family, Russell and Lillian Hoban
  2. Tam Lin, Pamela Dean
  3. A Candle In Her Room, Ruth M. Arthur
  4. Rose Madder, Stephen King
  5. Frog and Toad are Friends, Arnold Lobel
  6. Grass, Sheri Tepper
  7. The Lorax, Dr. Seuss
  8. The Dispossessed, Ursula LeGuin
  9. Taran Wanderer, Lloyd Alexander
  10. The Outsiders, SE Hinton

As you can see, I lost count, I broke the rules, and I repeated a book.

I've never been good at following directions.
