Comet's reading log, 2006
Here are most of the books my son read or had read to him (indicated by RA) in the last year, ages 7 and 8. This does not count multiple re-reads of Redwall books and other books, comic books, or books with more pictures as words. I think we're also missing several books from Sonlight 1+2. And there are many books he's read over Christmas break that aren't included yet.
Following each entry is a number indicating the rating he gave them. We started with a 5-star scale, but when he read Harry Potter he had to exceed that and somehow it morphed into something else -- not a 10-star scale, really, but one in which many books are better than great. I think the lower scores early on would be higher on the current scale.
Overarching themes: author binges, mysteries and stories about mice.
