13/20

Ty for giving children's books some respect. Me too.

Aw, thanks. I learned to give all books a chance no matter what age level they were listed under. My sixth-grade teacher gave me “Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone” as a prize for having the highest grade in the class. I was offended, because the cover looked so childish with a silly boy on a broomstick chasing after a ball (the series was not well known at the time). I eventually read it and it turned out to be one of my favorite books ever. :)

For someone who's "prolly never going to finish", 4/20 is killing it!
