Just a few books I'm itching to read this season. Fall reading is more of a "thing" for me than summer reading, not that I don't read in the summer, but certain books just seem particularly fallish. I also get all nostalgic about re-reading favorites. What's on your reading list?
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
I have never read this. Or seen the movie. I can't even tell you the basic plot. Also I have a degree in English. This is a problem.
Two-Part Invention - Madeleine L'Engle
This is part of L'Engle's Crosswicks Journal series, which I adore. I haven't read this one yet, but it has a tree with orange leaves on the cover, so I'm guessing it's appropriate.
A Million Little Ways - Emily Freeman
This is a re-read for me. I read it not too long ago, whenever it first came out, but as I was reading it I kept thinking that I needed to re-read it immediately. It's a must, even (especially) if you don't consider yourself an artist.
The Heretics Daughter - Kathleen Kent
My mom bought this for me one Christmas years and years ago and even though I was so excited to read it, I never got around to it for some reason or another. It's about the Salem Witch Trials - perfect for fall.
Anne of the Island - L.M. Montgomery
This is my favorite of the Anne books; the cover is all but totally torn off. It's just perfect for cozy, homebody nights.
The Robe - Lloyd Douglas
This is one of my favorite books of all time. If you haven't read it, you need to. It's a story about the Roman soldier who rolled dice for Jesus' robe and won and was never the same again. Ugh, I can't even tell you how much I ate this up the first time I read it.
Always love your book recommendations. Two Part Invention is on my list too! Intrigued by The Robe and A Million Little Ways.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading ;)
I am friends with Kathleen Kent's sister - the author of The Heretic's Daughter. I have had that book since it came out and never did read it! Shame on me.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could read To Kill a Mockingbird again for the first time--there's nothing quite like discovering new book loves. Maybe I should try The Robe. Currently reading Under the Tuscan Sun, and eyeing The Agony and the Ecstasy for my next read.
ReplyDeleteI read The Heretic's Daughter in an ARC (I used to work for a book seller). It hurt to give it back. I'm going to try A Million Little Ways and The Robe - thanks for the recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these books. They seem interesting!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE To Kill a Mockingbird! You have to tell me what you think once you've read it.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding these books to my to-read list. I LOVE To Kill a Mockingbird so I hope you do too! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have Anne of the Island on my desk at all times!! Love, love that series :) Also, I can't tell you the basic plot of To Kill A Mockingbird either. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteHow have you never read to kill a mockingbird?! It's a great book to re-read each year.
