13 books this month. Tapply, Norton and both Pullmans were rereads; Jansson may also have been, though I don't think so. (It's been 35-40 years since I read any of the Moomintroll books, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't one of the ones I read.)No, that's not a mistake in the list - I really did read Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of Nature twice in a row. Good book. One of the best I've read all year. Heartily recommended.
And the two Newbery Medal winners bring my total thus far up to 31 of 86.
