Quick book update.

#42 Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher. The latest intallment in the Harry Dresden universe. More magical mayhem in Chicago with a war in Faerie thrown in for good measure. Not quite as good as previous books, but still entertaining reading.

#43 is a favorite from my formative years. The Wishing Star by Norma Johnston. A young girl's coming of age story set in a small New England town at the turn of the century. I haven't reread this one literally in years and I still love it.

Only 7 more to go to fulfill the pledge.

I think I read a couple of those, but my library as a kid didn't have the complete series. My favorite series was the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace. I ended up collecting all of them in hardbook when I was an adult. The funny thing is that I read Lovelace and Johnston concurrently, but it wasn't until years later that I happened to read the dedication in "The Wishing Star". Johnston dedicated it to Lovelace and called her "my wishing star". I love it when things like that happen. :)
