This week's topic is Ordinal Numbers (Ordinal numbers are numbers that define an item’s place in a series. For example: first, second, third, fourth, tenth, fourteenth, thirty-third, one hundredth, etc)
I thought I had read more books with ordinal numbers but it was hard to find ten that start with an ordinal numbers. So, I had to cheat a little. But most of the books I mention fit the description.

Ingalls Wilder, Laura "The First Four Years" (Little House Books) - 1932-71

Ha! I don't think I've heard of any of these books before Marianne! I am curious about the Pearl S. Buck title.
ReplyDeleteThey are short stories, Lisa. And a good view about life in ancient China.
DeleteShort stories sound good!
DeleteWell, I'm not much into them but these were quite nice.
DeleteI recently reread The First Four Years!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to re-read all of her books, Lydia. But, oh, so many books, so little time ...
DeleteThird Culture Kids is an excellent book! Nice list.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Cindy. When we read it with our international book club, we all were raising Third Culture Kids (well, those of us who had kids) and found it very accurate.
DeleteI wish I had come across it sooner than I did. We lived overseas for about 10 years, and I think I heard about it once we were back in the states. I could have used it from the very beginning.
DeleteDefinitely. It was a great help to understand some weirdness of your kids. Mine have become really international.
DeleteGreat selection. It was trickier when I thought when I chose the topic!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Joanne. I noticed that I missed out The Thirteenth Tale when I read other blogger's lists.
DeleteGreat post! I've got First They Killed My Father on my TBR (it's been there for years) and I look forward to eventually reading it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great book, Dini. Something most of us don't know so much about.
DeleteThis was a tricky one! I think I could find enough in my non-fiction.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you would, Sarah. Anyone who reads a lot would probably find something and you probably read more than even the most prolific readers.
