This summer I realized that I really enjoy reading. Then I realized that buying books can be pretty expensive. So I went to the public library for the first time in 20ish years. It was completely overwhelming. I have been really into reading christian romance books this summer. Most people tend to laugh at me a bit when I tell them that, but they are really good. Adam makes fun of me calling them my trashy ::wink:: novels. Here are the books that I've read the last couple months.
- A Bride in the Bargain / Deeanne Gist
- A Bride most Begrudging / Deeanne Gist
- Deep in the Heart of Trouble / Deeanne Gist
- Maid to Match / Deeanne Gist
- The Measure of a Lady / Deeanne Gist
- A Passion Denied / Julie Lessman
- A Passion Most Pure / Julie Lessman
- A Passion Redeemed / Julie Lessman
- Eden Close / Anita Shreve
They were all wonderful books. Unfortunately I don't know what to read next. As you can see I will find an author and read everything I can find of theirs. There is one more Gist book called Beguiled, but it hasn't been available yet. I think I have decided to read a few classic literature books next. I am thinking:
- Jane Eyre (1847) Charlotte Bronte
- Wuthering Heights (1847) Emily Bronte
- Pride and Predudice (1813) Jane Austen
I was trying to find a list of 'must read' books like the AFI has for movies, but I couldn't find one. If anyone has any suggestions they are welcomed.
All the Jane Austen books are very entertaining! And I just recently read Jane Eyre. It's a pretty uncomplicated story considering how long it is, but very satisfying. I love happy endings :)
