Something to Chew On

Hello! It’s Reading Wednesday. Today, I’m going to try something a little different. Today I’ll be sharing two recently acquired cookbooks. Now, I know that this isn’t what I’ve been posting on Reading Wednesday so far, but even the most avid novel readers would be benefited by learning how to cook. πŸ˜‰ These cookbooks were just recently bought at Ollies….

From Bath to Milton

Hello! I have some more books to share with you today. πŸ™‚ 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…

On the Wide Frontier

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…

Rose in Bloom

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…

Of Classics and Captains

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…

Ishmael Worth

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…

Anne with an E

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. πŸ˜‰ 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…

221B Baker Street

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…

Manners and Miracles

Hello! I have a few more books to share with you today. πŸ™‚ 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…

Alcott and Elliot

Hello! It’s a rainy, wet morning, perfect for the first installment of Reading Wednesday! I’ve always loved curling up on a rainy day to read a book, don’t you? Sometimes, however, it’s hard to find new books to read. As a result, I started reading the same ones over and over. I was helped by a friend who lent me…
