Another summer at Hollins. Hooray for me. I am taking my first creative writing course this semester and a Tomboy’s in Children’s Lit. course.  It is so nice taking only two courses a semester, and both classes are in the afternoon. I am going to be one lazy dude this summer. Here is my list of books for the semester:

• Little House on the Prairie
• Little Women
• The Secret of Shadow Ranch (the old and new versions)
• What Have You Lost?
• What Katy Did
• Deliver Us from Evie
• Caddie Woodlawn
• The Hidden Hand or, Capitola the Madcap (American Women Writer’s Series)
• Lost in the Tunnel of Time (Ziggy and the Black Dinosaur)
• Uncle Elephant
• Canto Familiar
• On the Fringe
• Who Put That Hair in My Toothbrush
• I am the Messenger
• Bud, Not Buddy
• Places I Never Meant to Be: Original Stories by Censored Writers
• Rattletrap Car
• Water Steps
• When I Was Young in the Mountains
• And whatever scholarly articles, last minute books, blogs or whatever my teachers decide fits the mood of the moment.

I only have 4 weeks to complete the list, and then I’m off.
