Book Reviews: Winnie the Pooh and Because of Winn-Dixie

Dear me. It's been many months since I've posted a book review. I have been reading. A bit. Remember my goal to read 11,000 pages in 2011? Well, I still have 4,701 pages to go and only 46 days to get there. Yeah, that means I have to read at least 102 pages a day for the rest of the year. Hmmmm . . . I guess you can expect a lot more book review posts if I can stick to it :)

Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I can't believe I had never read Winnie-the-Pooh. If you haven't, you should. It is so clever and fun! It was rewarding to get to know the real characters and not just the cartoon version. A must-own and a must-read for everyone in my opinion.

Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The more books I read by Kate DiCamillo the more I fall in love with the way she tells stories. It is beautiful the way she takes so many characters and ties them together by revealing what they all have in common. When I finish one of her books, I feel like I know myself a little better than I did when I started. This story shows how we all have sadness and love in our lives, and both of these can bring us together, however different we may be.
