October 2019 Book Reading List

Another month over, another book reading list.

It’s crazy I’ve been doing these “book reading lists” for almost two years now - my first was in January 2018 - although I did skip the month of February 2019.

Books I Read to My Son

What’s also crazy is that I’ve been consistently reading to my son almost since the day he was born.

My first “book reading list” that mentions reading to him is April 2018 - and really couldn’t have been any sooner, since he was born at the end of March.

Here’s what I read to him this month:

• A Picnic with Monet
• Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
• Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell
• First Words The Farm
• Giraffes Can’t Dance
• Goodnight Moon
• Good Night, New Baby
• Harry the Dirty Dog
• Hooray For Wonderful Me!
• I Love My Puppy by Caroline Jayne Church
• I Love You This Much
• Newtonian Physics for Babies
• Pat Them Gently
• Peekaboo in the Jungle
• Pooh’s Best Day A Book About Weather
• Spot Loves His Daddy
• Tails Are Not For Pulling
• The Very Best Daddy of All
• When? Slide N’ Peek
• Where is Baby’s Pumpkin?
• You Are My Sunshine by Caroline Jayne Church

You’ll notice one item on the list isn’t linked - First Words The Farm. Despite having an ISBN on the book (9784577558972) I can’t find any evidence the book even exists on the Internet.

I was able to find the publisher’s website - Flying Frog Publishing. And plenty of books pop up when searching Flying Frog Publishing on Amazon.

Publication details - including ISBN “9784577558972”, barcode “082116032472”, publisher name, etc.”

The Books Stories I Read for Me

I’ve trying to finish the “book” I’m reading now - 99 Classic Science-Fiction Short Stories - as quickly as possible.

I’ve been working on it since July and am itching to get to another book.

This month I read stories fifty-three through seventy-four:

53. Youth by Isaac Asimov
54. Advanced Chemistry by Jack G. Huekels
55. A Relic of the Pliocene by Jack London
56. A Thousand Deaths by Jack London
57. Planchette by Jack London
58. The Curious Fragment by Jack London
59. The Man With the Gash by Jack London
60. The Red One by Jack London
61. The Shadow and the Flash by Jack London
62. The Strength of the Strong by Jack London
63. The Unparalleled Invasion by Jack London
64. When the World Was Young by Jack London
65. The Pygmy Planet by Jack Williamson
66. Regeneration by Katherine MacLean & Charles Dye
67. Games by Katherine MacLean
68. The Carnivore by Katherine MacLean
69. The Natives by Katherine MacLean
70. Report on Grand Central Terminal Miles by Leo Szilard
71. The Gostak and the Doshes by John Breuer
72. Uncommon Castaway by Nelson Slade Bond
73. The Last Survivor by Peter B. Kyne
74. Adjustment Team by Philip K. Dick

That leaves, what, 25 stories left? I can do it!
