Good lists Jme! Very exciting. You list of books to read is especially ambitious. Your list of things to learn is fun,too. I can teach you about the Salem Witch Trials... I happen to know a lot about them. I'll be very impressed if you accomplish all the things on these lists. You are very ambitious. :)
You're going to LOVE Gone with the Wind. It's the longest book I've ever read, and also one of my all time favorites. It is amazing.
