What I have read in 2014

Please do not judge the list as simplistic or the books are too easy for me (as an adult with a degree in Literature). I read everything my children read and I keep a list of those books as well, because I need to know what they are reading and be able to ask them questions to make sure they understand what they are reading and if they write a paper on it, I need to know that what they wrote is correct.


So far in 2014 I have read 31 books (but that number is going to change soon) and I am only trying to make sure I read the things that I wanted for this years self challenge (i.e. the alphabet challenge, the books for each state and books should have read in high school and most probably have read).
A - At Knit's End
B- Ben and Me with another daughter.
B - Bones are Forever
C - Crocheted Prayer Shawl
D - Don Quixote daughter read for school
E - Easy Knitted Socks
F - Flash and Bones
H - Henry Huggins another book for reading for school.
J - The Journey Through Time
K - Knit Your Socks on Straight
L - Little Boy Lost (The Librarian, #1)
M - Middle School: How I Survived Bullies, Broccoli, and Snake Hill daughter for fun read
N - New Prayer Shawl Companion, The 35 Knitted Patterns to Embrace, Inspire, & Celebrate Life
O - Oddball Knitting
P - The Prayer Shawl
S - Shawls, Wraps, & Ponchos
U -Ugh...You Again!
V - Vogue Knitting, The Ultimate Sock Book
W - War Shots

Numbers:
200 Crochet Blocks
