Happy humpday! Do you see any favorites in this stack? I haven't read them all just yet, but I did recently finish Coraline. It was so spooky and fun. If you haven't read it, this might be a little spoilery...but I think my favorite scare was seeing the dad impersonator down in the cellar all doughy and squishy like a giant grub. If you've read it, did anything in particular stick in your memory? Or, if you've read one of the others, same question. 😊 #neilgaiman #coraline #mglit #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #middlegradebooks #kidlit #bookish #bookstagram #kidlit
Who are some of your favorite main characters? Anne Shirley is definitely one of mine. I love her idealism and her desire to see beauty wherever she goes. Ever since I was a kid, she made me long for kindred spirits and lovely spots in nature. "Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?" #anneofgreengables #lmmontgomery #classicbooks #readersgonnaread #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #readersofinstagram
How's everybody doing this week? Reading anything good? I'm currently reading James and the Giant Peach to the kids and we're all enjoying its humor and fantastical elements. Do you have a favorite read aloud? I'm always looking for things that will hold everyone's attention. Adventure and humor seem to be big hits with my kids. #bookstagram #bookish #middlegradebooks #kidlit #readaloudrevival #readaloudfamily #homeschool #roalddahl #mglit
I just finished reading The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery. It was a sweet read that had elements that reminded me of Anne of Green Gables. The main character, Valancy Stirling, has a vivid imagination but is oppressed by an overbearing family at home. At twenty-nine, she's considered a hopeless old maid and is often the butt of her large, rigid family's jokes. But midway through the story, everything changes and Valancy decides to step out of her shell and see what life has to offer her. There's romance and lovely descriptions of the wilderness in backcountry Canada. Some of the story is a little over the top and wasn't entirely believable for me, but overall, I still enjoyed it. If you've read The Blue Castle, what did you think of it? #lmmontgomery #classicbooks #igbooks #classicliterature #readersofinstagram #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #modernmrsdarcy
Hello, friends! Sorry I've been quiet on here for a bit. I was working hard to finish the draft of my second book. Now that I've got that turned into my editor, I'm enjoying taking a breath and hanging out with the fam. This morning we went for a walk on the trails by our house. The weather was gorgeous and the field was full of new wildflowers. We spotted painted rocks and even a little snake--just a harmless rough earth snake--so, no worries. 🐍 How's your week going so far? #wildandfree #explore #nature #naturegram #treesofinstagram #charlottemason #homeschoollife #findbeautyineverything #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram
I've been feeling all the pinks lately. Ads for area rugs keep popping up on my social media and every time they feature bright pink flowers, I click. 🤣 Also while doing my online grocery shopping I saw this bouquet of spring flowers with lots of bright pinks and had to add it to the cart. So basically, online retailers can take all my money right now if they just make their products pink. Including books as evidenced by this lovely edition of Persuasion. 😁 #classicbooks #igbooks #bookstagram #classicliterature #motherculture #readersofinstagram #janeausten #janeite #bookish #booksandflowers
