It's #threelistthursday on Saturday! 😛

These are my three favorites from the list. I don't remember most of what I read as a child, so my number very well could be much higher. I also don't consider LOTR as children's books, but i liked it, so I won't complain.
One thing about lists like this is that good books are overlooked for multiples in a series or theme. I'd just bundle Harry Potter & the Moomins together to highlight others.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm a little surprised Madeline and Strega Nona aren't listed. I also lived The Monster at the End of the Book with Sesame Street's Grover, but that feels more American. Some of these are on my TBR, so perhaps the number will grow. @dabbe 1w
dabbe Agree 💯! A series should count as one and done, leaving room for so many other wonderful works. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 1w
Singout Me too re bundles! When I was in England, many years ago, I took a picture of Paddington Station just for my mom. She got all choked up. 7d
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @Singout I only just read three book a couple of years ago and I loved it. It was such a delight. I found a box set of the full series and hope to make my way through it this year or next. 6d

Pub date 1958. Never read it before now. Adorable. Truth be told, I read it bc Hobonichi has a Paddington collection and I was curious about the book. And a fun finding was the author has my birthday!! He passed in 2017 at a ripe old age of 91. So happy I finally read it!

I think I was possessed by the spirit of Paddington yesterday when I did my post work grocery run in a pain haze…

Anyway. I‘m no closer to deciding what to have for dinner - but I have to be at work in an hour - so that‘s fun! (And then I have two days off!)

The Paddington Bear 🐻 Picture Book is from #Foyles and is my present for my first niece/nephew next spring. I got the cat pin today at #waterstones, the Glossier lipstick 💄 is called „Portrait“ and the rest is from The National Gallery & state Britain. Yeah! Not included are my Christmas presents from Harrods & Selfridges from my parents.

#12BooksOf2022 @Andrew65

I'm far behind so here's a mega-post for the second half of the year.
July was the toughest month to choose because a couple other books were good. The Traveling Cat Chronicles made be ugly cry.
A Bear Called Paddington might be the best book I read this year.
Madam wins December only because I felt underwhelmed by all of the ones I read.

Andrew65 Thanks for playing along. Paddington is one of my favourite books, also brings back memories of my childhood. 2y
Susanita The Travelling Cat Chronicles also made me 😭 2y
Ruthiella The Pisces was so weird and also pretty sad, but I also loved it. 2y

Paddington is an absolute lovable, funny bear. I enjoyed reading about this marmalade-loving bear and his mishaps. Stories that put a smile on my face.. from his pleasant manners to his ‘hard stares‘. And great to read about such kindness and goodness from the Brown family and the villagers. These are the kind of stories I know I would love if I‘ve read them when I was a child.

#ChildrensClassicRead2022 for November.

Andrew65 Love this book, a favourite as a child which I read over and over again. 2y
TheBookHippie I so fell in love with this bear!!!! 🧸 2y
