Tuesday 4. Autumn Reading

 

Autumn Reading

Hosted by Annie!

Happy September! 

The Autumnal Equinox is September 21 and it is the actual beginning of Autumn. Many, however, consider Labor Day as the unofficial opening of the Autumn season of the "Ber" Month

1. What's on your reading list for September?  I have learned that I really enjoy cosy mysteries, so I am currently reading Laura Child’s books   The one  at this time is Broken Bone China.  I, also, have a Christmas book  for the season, The Twisted Tea Christmas  novel!  I am doing a heavy duty Bible Study on Matthew with Community Bible Study, so My reading for fun is limited. I am also reading Eugene  Peterson’s book, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction that was recommended to a great Bible Scholar and friend.

2. Does your favorite reading nook look anything like the one in the picture or do you wish it did?Actually my cosy reading nook looks very like your very cosy photo. My favorite chair is  right beside our fireplace which makes for quite a comfy spot in the fall and winter!

3. Can you name some books you've read many times?  Do you recommend them?I have read some classics time and again.  I love Pride and Prejudice and am finishing my 4 th or fifth time around. Also, one of my favorite authors is Lynn Kurland. I love her time travel romances, mainly as they are set in medieval England and Scotland mainly!  Wonderful storylines!

4.   Which of the classics have you read?  Good Reads offer a list of classics they  recommend here.  

Jane Austen’s book, To kill a Mockingbird, Little Women,  The Secret Garden, most of Shakespeare’s plays,   Anne  of Green Gables,  Don Quixote in Spanish during my 4th of Spanish, Watership  Down,  The Good Earth, The Divine Comedy, The Narnia Books,  The Holy Bible several times. Wuthering Heights, The Scarlet Pimpernel, many of Poe’s stories, Several Dicken’s classics in HS.  Journey to the Center of the Earth, A Wrinkle in Time,  Phantom of the Opera., A Separate Oeace,  Ivanhoe,  Far from the Madding Crowd, The Screwtape Letters,   Where the Red Fern Grows,  Island of the Blue Dolphins,  Just So Stories, just to name a few.  Several of these books to read to  our daughter and my classes.
