Whoa! These are a lot of books. Most of which are in the children’s genre so they should be fast to read. If especially find comfort in reading these kinds of books, they seem to satisfy the child in me. I just feel that these kinds of books, so closely or sometimes even exactly describes things that I have realized, felt, experienced or noticed. These books aptly describes things I could not put my finger on, things that are at the tip of my tongue, things I wouldn’t ordinarily find words correct and concise enough to describe on my own.
Scribbles on Katherine Patterson's Lyddie

Oh, my heart ached for Lyddie and the circumstances that made her life. But I know, Lyddie will achieve all that she had planned/intend to do in the last part of the book. :-;
The story gripped me from the start. Despite the obvious physical tension (i.e. bear), the author managed to incorporate humour in this, and at the same time release another conflict/tension (i.e. mother’s illness).
