Autumn Reading
Hosted by Annie!
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.
