I read three books for the challenge this month:
- The Matchlock Gun by Walter D. Edmonds (1941)
- Sticks Across the Chimney by Nora Burglon (1938)
- Skippack School by Marguerite de Angeli (1939)
If you reviewed or otherwise posted about an "Old School" book from 1944 or earlier, please leave a comment below with a link so other participants can see what you read. Thanks!
Well, I dropped the ball on this one. I read several more books than usual because some middle grade fiction I had a hold on came in (The Secret Keepers, The War That Saved My Life, and The Imaginary caught my eye along with a couple of graphic novels). Anne of the Island was the only book I read published before 1945. The Big Wave by Pearl S. Buck was close (1948). @oneaponceatime
ReplyDeleteI did a round up post on my favorite pre-1945 books and why they left an impression on me. You can see it here: https://randomlyreading.blogspot.com/2017/03/old-school-favorite-books-pre-1945.html
