the host: joy at thoughts of joy...
best book: there were a lot of good books, and I don't think I can pick one. When I look at the list, I can't pick my favorite. I refuse to be tied down to a favorite book!
best part: I think my favorite part was that my 10 year read two of the books with me, Maniac Magee and So Long, Jackie Robinson
If you are interested in this challenge, there is still lots of time to join.
Congrats on completing the challenge!!! I should be reading The Chocolate War soon.
