given the number of books I’ve read overall, I’m not sure if I should be shamed I can’t remember more, or just write it off to overcrowded brain cells

3 – Witch Week, Diana Wynne Jones
12 – Dealing with Dragons, Patricia C. Wrede
14 – Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery
20 – The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett
22 – A College of Magics, Caroline Stevermer
26 – One of the Dark is Rising books?
32 – Wren to the Rescue, Sherwood Smith
35 – One of the Little House on the Prairie books
36 – Umm…not Poison Study?
41 – So You Want to Be A Wizard, Diane Duane
42 – The next bit is “Must you even *think* in cliches?” and it’s one of Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar books, but I can’t call which one to mind just now.
43 – Sandry’s Book, Tamora Pierce
46 – The Goose Girl, Shannon Hale

Those are about the only ones I recognised right away. I googled a few of them that I thought I might know, and did, but I’m not giving those up.

14. Mrs Lynde lives just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies’ eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place. — This is probably by LM Montgomery, but I couldn’t tell you which book.

18. “Hi. I’m the bus driver. Listen, I’ve got to leave for a little while, so can you watch things for me until I get back?” — Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

20. When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle, everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. — The Secret Garden.

42. It was a dark and stormy night. — This is the first line of A Wrinkle in Time, but that might not be the book you were thinking of.

2. From the Mixed up files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

3. Witch Week.

5. Hmm. Interesting. If it were Sport I’d assume you’d have taken the name out of the sentence but I don’t remember whether Sport appears as a character in HtS, and in that case I’d have figured you’d have taken *her* name out. But I don’t remember either book well enough so I’ll say Sport.

9, Anastasia Krupnik?

14. Anne of Green Gables, I think. I’m pretty sure that’s how that one starts, with her being nosy and seeing Matthew on his way off to the train station.

15. I am convinced that this is the Headless Cupid even though I’m pretty sure it’s *not*.

19. Bedtime for Frances

20. Secret Garden

21. Tam Lin. I guess this is YA, isn’t it?

23. True Believer. No! Make Lemonade, because it’s the babysitting ad she’s about to see.

34. Holes –classic first line

35. Charlotte’s Web –best first line ever

36. The Thief

37. Changeover — some of these i did, too, so i feel like i’m cheating. But I love these books so much!

38. Paper bag princess

39. Children of Green Knowe

40. House with the clock in its walls

41. So you want to be a wizard?

42. Wrinkle in Time

43. The first Circle book. Called.. mmm… Sandry’s Book?

44. Man, that rings a bell. But what?
