Hello! I have some more books to share with you today. 🙂 First up, Northanger Abbey. This book is very amusing. I recently watched an online course from Hillsdale College on Jane Austen and more specifically, this book. It was interesting to hear how Austen had written Northanger Abbey as a sort of parody on the romantic novels that were…
Hello again! I hope you’re looking forward to finding new books to read! About the books: Today, I’m sharing this trilogy. In a lot of ways, it reminds me of this series. What with the setting, time period, writing style, and the character’s faith. Naturally, since I enjoyed that series so much, I was happy to read another similar to…
Hello! It’s the day I’ve set aside for sharing books I’ve read and enjoyed. Let’s get started, shall we? I’ll begin with this one. Stepping Heavenward is a book about a young woman named Katherine Mortimer. It’s written in the form of diary entries and in some cases, letters, which makes for an interesting reading experience. The story begins just…
Hello again! I have a few recommendations for Reading Wednesday, plus a little story. Today’s post involves two books. This first one that you see pictured above is the first in a two-part series written by Louisa May Alcott. Fun Fact: I found this book at a local antique store. I hadn’t been able to find it anywhere else, so…
How are you on this blustery Winds-day? I have a few new books to share with you. Let’s start! The Classic: I’ll begin with the classic alluded to in the title. This is probably one of the lesser known (or appreciated) Austen books. It does have a slightly different tone to it than the others, such as Emma or Pride…
Hello again! Are you up for another recommendation? As I was mentally sorting through my books yesterday, deciding on what to share today, I realized that most of the books I’ve recommended have been well-known. Most of you have probably read, or are at least familiar with, the books that I have featured in past posts. Today I’d like to…
Hello! It’s Wednesday today, so that means another recommendation. Today I’m featuring a beloved classic series: Anne of Green Gables. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. 😉 I’ve loved these books ever since I first came across them, though I’ve not read them in a little while. I’m sure I’ll be doing so soon! I reconcile the fact of the…
Hello! On this Reading Wednesday I have a recommendation a little different than the past ones. In case you’re wondering about the wide range of books that have shown up on these posts, I should probably clarify at this point that the books I am recommending in this series are ones that I enjoyed or was inspired by, and are…
Hello again! It’s Reading Wednesday. Let’s begin, shall we? There’s a little story behind my acquiring and reading this series. My mom found the tv series years and years ago, which we watched and really liked. (Though, personally, I enjoy the books much more. 😉 I hadn’t even realized that they were based off of books, until I found the…
Hello! I have a few more books to share with you today. 🙂 First up, this autobiography. I found out about this book through a book club that I attended a year or two ago. I’ve read it several times since then. I find the story fascinating, even after several re-reads, as it ranges from America to the jungles and…
