Nineteen, you say? By my count I've only read nine, and yes I've seen several others in movie form but those don't count. I've really gotta catch up on my writing.
I've only read thirteen :(
guess I better get reading!
Not bad at all, I'd say--I am closer to 10. The only ones I've read that you haven't is Inca Gold (which while it's a decent book, I'm not sure why it makes the list) and Hatchet which my son read in school last year and really loved so he recommended--it's a good one.
