I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

so-soI was torn between pick and so-so. This is my 2nd read and my kids love it, but reading it out loud sucks. I love Roald Dahl and usually love his made up words but the giant only speaks in them. So my kids stop me from reading to discuss what does he mean? Eventually I just read the words he was intending to say so we could get into the story and just said some like phizzwizard. Listen to episode anywhere you get podcasts. Spotify link below.
pickFun book about Roald Dahl's further adventures as a young man. In Africa and as a RAF pilot in N. Africa and Greece during WW2.
so-soRead with my kids...a preface to reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, next.
pickThis was a sweet story about Danny and his dad and their poaching adventure. I enjoyed that they have midnight feasts when they can‘t sleep. Dahl‘s writing is so personal. Like the narrator is talking directly to you.
pickThis was one of my favorite Roald Dahl books growing up, but I haven‘t revisited it as an adult. Still a great story! The love and friendship between Danny and his father is so special, and the way they work together (to give Victor Hazell his comeuppance) is perfect!
Quite an adventure!
And Roald Dahl writes the most nasty, villainous adults! I have to skim read their parts 🤣
(I found this fabulous vintage copy for my shelves!)
