6 Week Update

I've been enjoying the books immensely. Cranford made me smile at the simpleness of the ladies. I could see this as a Masterpiece Classic film.

I'm not a fantasy type of person. However, reading that George MacDonald's books were the inspiration behind C.S. Lewis' Narnia books was intriguing enough for me. At the Back of the North Wind was a surprise for me. I did find the first few chapters hard to get into. I'm glad I stuck it out. I now see why so many others like it.

The Fighting Ground and My Brother Sam is Dead both presented a different view of the American Revolution. These were short reads but they didn't rank there as worth reading again.

Kristin Lavransdatter was a very long book but worth reading all the way through. There were many sad parts throughout the book but it is something that I would read again.
