pickZipped through this fun how-have-I-not-read-this-before? book this weekend! So much clever wordplay!
In other unrelated news, I have accepted that I will not be making my Goodreads challenge this year. Unless I drop everything and read novellas between now and New Year's. Oh well.
MrsMalaprop A great book, read many years ago for book club. 3y
vivastory I read this a couple of years ago & really enjoyed it. I had to lower my GR challenge a couple of years ago to meet it. Not going to lie, I was bummed about it. 🤣 Life happens though 3y
MatchlessMarie I still haven‘t read this, but I remember seeing a production of it when I was in middle school 3y

Bookwomble One of my childhood favourites, and made more special by sharing it with my kids when they were little 🙂 3y
Reggie You and me both. Last year at this time I was over 100 books. Now I‘m lucky if I‘m even gonna make that 100. You have company. 3y
batsy I love this book and only read it as an adult! My kid self felt cheated 🙂 I ditched the GR challenge last year and never looked back 😁 3y
merelybookish @MrsMalaprop Yes, fun for adults too! 3y
merelybookish @vivastory Thanks Scott! I'm trying to remind myself I have done a lot this year. Inevitable that my reading would suffer. Still I kept thinking I might be able to catch up. 3y
merelybookish @MatchlessMarie I expect it makes a fun play! But definitely worth a read some time! 3y
merelybookish @Bookwomble My son had read it as a kid and he loved it. Somehow I missed out reading it with him. 3y
merelybookish @Reggie Thanks Reggie! My goal is 100 which I usually surpass by a bit. But I'll do well if I make 80 this year. Oh well. 🤷 3y
merelybookish @batsy Wow, no GR challenge at all! 🤯 3y

Bookwomble @merelybookish I use the GR challenge to simply keep track of what I've read that year - can't deny a nice feeling of achievement when I hit my target, but that's a secondary thing for me. Not that you need feel how I do, but I'd be inclined to revise down my target if life threw out some challenges more significant than a GR one 💗 3y
robinb My kids also read this in school. I‘m sure I‘ve got a copy (or two) around somewhere. I need to read it. 😊 3y
