Tuesday 4 Reading Opinions

Your Reading Opinions

Hosted by Annie!
Tuesday 4 welcomes you and hopes that you are enjoying the questions we ask each week In spite of moves and television, reading is still a popular way to spend time for many people all over the world.
All kinds of people read all kinds of books.   I thought maybe we could talk about it a bit this week and get your personal opinions on the subject.

Sorry to be a day late... but I have been decorating for autumn and  baking for a tea tomorrow..  but I love this topic so I  have to  share!!!

1. What are some essential classic books that everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?  Being a Christian there are some great classic  books of that genre  that I figure should be on  the list.
Anything by C.S. Lewis,  especially the Chronicles of Narnia,  The Screw Tape Letters, Mere Christianity, and if you have had these I  imagine  you would  make  more  op your mind to choose many more of his titles Elizabeth Elliot's books on her  mission experience are   great classics!
J I Pack, Knowing God is  amazing! some other classics I have  loved  were written by Jane Austen,  To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee,   Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.  For lighter reading,  The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Shaffer... a very  smilier book  which I love  and am reading now is  84, Charing Cross Road  by Helene Hanff.. Only 112 pages.   and very engaging! Both these  books  are written in letter form...  I  loved reading them.  quite  easy  and very touching  stories.There ae so many more, but these are my faves from the classics!

2.  Monday September 22 is the first day of Autumn.
Would you make up a list for us of books that you think would make great Autumn reading? I love cosy mysteries...  There are so many of them,  so I will name a few  authors...Ellery Adams,Merryn Allingham,,  and her British  stories, and one of my favorites is Laura Childs Tea Shop Mysteries series!

3  What genre will we find most in your library? Sci Fi, Romance, adventure, biography, non fiction, mystery?  What do you like most about the genre?  Historical romance, TimeTravel romance...  especially  Lynn Kurland's books.. love them!!!   and cosy mysteries.

4  What book would you like to see made into a movie? Any idea on who should be cast in the rolls?One of my favorite Lynn Kurland's books is 

Scotland, 1311. James MacLeod was the most respected—and feared—laird in all of Scotland. He loved his men like brothers and his land with a passion. And he allowed no women to cross the threshold of his keep...

New York City, 1996. With an indifferent fiance and a stalled writing career, Elizabeth Smith found passion and adventure only in the unpublished romance novels that she wrote. Until a Scottish hero began calling to her...


Elizabeth longed for the man of her dreams. But she knew she was overworked when she began hearing his voice—when she was awake. To clear her mind, she took a walk in Gramercy Park. She dozed off on a bench—and woke up in a lush forest in forteenth-century Scotland. A forest surrounding the castle of James MacLeod, an arrogant and handsome lord with a very familiar voice. Elizabeth would turn his ordered world upside down and go where no woman had ever gone before: straight into his heart...

I love these  very romantic books  yet  the smut is missing..  which  is s greatI  I also love that  each book    has  some of the same characters  as history  continues and  we do not lose our favorite   characters in the  continuing timeline!
