Book Log (Age 9)
Welcome to Scout’s current book log.
This is a list of Scout’s general reading. In addition to the books on this list, Scout often grabs stacks of quick reads from the library…books on magic tricks or dog training or UFOs or other weirdness. These books are silly and fun, but I don’t bother recording the titles. Scout also loves her Calvin & Hobbes and Far Side collections, which she reads over and over again. I don’t list all those either.
As for what I’ll call real reading, sometimes I forget to jot down a title or two, but this is most of it.
