Decades 2010 Rules:
Read a minimum of 10 books in 10 consecutive decades in 2010.
Books published in the 2000’s do not count.
Titles may be cross-posted with any other challenge.
You may change your list at any time.
Peruse the eligible book lists and reviews from previous years (found on the sidebar). Any book from that decade is eligible; it doesn’t have to be on the list to qualify. A good source to find out when books were published is wikipedia. For example if you follow this link, you will see how easy it is to search books by a particular decade. Another resource is fantasticfiction.co.uk.

02) 1910's - The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse by Thornton W. Burgess

I joined this one. Looks like a fun way to stretch my reading & diversify a little!
Great list! The "Little House" books, The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter are among my all-time favorite series.
