Walking in Dewey's Steps

As most of you know Dewey passed away at the end of November. In honor of her memory, I joined the Dewey's Books Reading Challenge. There are two separate blogs: one for news and one for reviews. The deal is to read and review books that Dewey did in her bloggie lifetime. I'll be reading as many YA books from my local library, and donating ones they do not own. Dewey will live on in these books for others.

Ah,thanks Iliana. Happy New Year to you, too! I bought a couple of John Green books yesterday to start with. Hubby growled at me buying more books, but it is for a good cause! :D

That's a nice way to honor someone, Maggie. I hope someone does the same for me, sometime early in the NEXT century! Happy New Year.

I am glad that you are remembering Dewey while also trying to do your goal of having more readers in Mississississississippi!

(I love adding more ssi's to your state's name. I taught my young relatives this trick. They were the only ones in their Texas classes to spell it right, but they had to remember to stop after 2 ssi's)
