Pre 1980 Reading Record Comments | |
---|---|
These are some of the books I remember reading as a kid. I also had a little blue spiral bound notebook that I keep track of books. I know I transcribed it into this database, but I'm sure there are hundreds of books I read during elementary school, Junior High and even High School, which are not listed. I wrote few comments, so if you want more information about the book, click the title or the book image for links to Amazon. In some cases Amazon does have additional photos of the books, particularly old out of print books, such as these- they have been shared by Amazon's customers.
