The Weekly Reader's Society

"Order! Order! We will now begin our reading!" Says Patty as she pulls out 'The Wind in the Willows'. "Is everyone present?"

She now goes over the list for roll call.

Patty (Hannah), retired president and reader.

Linus(Ben), retired chairman and part time reader.

Violet (Mary Katherine), somewhat retired passed down president, chairman and reader.

Peppermint Patty (Sarah), passed down president and reader.

Sally (Joanna), chairman and part time reader.

Marcy (Diana), chairman and part time reader.

Lucy (Ruthie), chairman.

Snoopy (Joseph), chairman.

The Weekly Reader's Society was good with keeping it mostly weekly for a long time when it was started probably more that six years ago. My older sister, Hannah, started it, and she did well with keeping it up with us until she got busy with a lot of school and getting married. We haven't done too grand in keeping up with the reading, but I am going to try to change that!

The book list of books read by the Weekly Reader's Society:

A Christmas Carol -Charles Dickens
Homer Price -Robert McCloskey
Centerburg Tales -Robert McCloskey
The Hardy Boys: The tower of treasure
Stuart Little -E.B. White and Franklin Dixon
The Wind in the Willows -Kenneth Grahame
Old Yeller -Fred Gipson
Down The Long Hills -Louis L'Amour
The Magician's Nephew -C.S. Lewis
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe -C.S. Lewis
Prince Caspian -C.S. Lewis

  1. Somehow I missed this post. You got me laughing out loud for a while (especially with yours, Ben's, and Mary Katherine's descriptions)! Yes, yes, pick it back up!
