Plans to Read all of Madeline L'Engle's Books

When I went online to help recall the other names in Madeline L’Engle’s Time Quintet, I learned that she passed away in September 2007. I know I was busy in grad school at that time, but I still can’t imagine how I missed it. She is one of my favorite authors and in honor of her I have decided that I want to read everything on her bibliography. That is 63 books. Now many of them I have read. Many of those However, many of them I scarcely remember more than the main idea. I think I shall reread the one’s I cannot remember and also discover the ones I have not read. My goal is to finish them by September 2010.
