In So Many Words 
All these statistics make reading sound like a chore. I just grab a book that sounds good and read when I feel the urge. Heck it might even be a childrens book. I love the Little House series and the Ann (with an e) ones of Green Gables!!

I understand that! I am a total nerd, so I enjoy tracking things. I love both Little House and Anne of Green Gables. Have you ever read any of the Little House spinoff series? There are books in the same style as Little House about her daughter, her mother, her grandmother, and her great-grandmother. I have all of them and have read them several times.

They eventually evolved into a series that I really didn’t care much for. They seemed a bit forced and like the author was trying too hard to be interesting, I have those too and just now looked one up. …”Good Neighbors” by T.L.Tedrow.

I am not familiar with those, but I just looked them up and they do have some very bad reviews on Amazon.

I’m glad to know that it wasn’t just me who felt that way. I looked up other titles and found that there are several I haven’t read. The Rocky Ridge series were the last ones I read. I will definitely download the rest!
