I just got it on sale for my kindle, so it's on my list! I've read 'Caroline' and thought the writing was beautiful, but had a few issues with some sexual scenes I thought were unnecessary and that I wasn't expecting. I would have given it a 5 out of 5 otherwise. <br /><br />Glad you stopped by Teresa! Always nice to meet other bloggers who love books!

Two books I would recommend if you get a chance to check them out are The Austen Escape by Katherine Reay and Caroline: Little House, Revisited by Sarah Miller. The Austen Escape is fun and light, and Caroline has writing that makes you feel like you're really there with the Ingalls family. Nice to see another blogger who loves historical fiction and the classics!<br /><br />Teresa from https://mamamuseme.wordpress.comMama Muse Me (Teresa)https://mamamuseme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642167378367548721.post-63404912102280671232018-01-18T15:10:18.112-08:002018-01-18T15:10:18.112-08:00I've read some of the books on your lists but ...I've read some of the books on your lists but not all by far.

I'm considering The Great Gatsby - I have never read Fitzgerald before. The Secret Garden is on my list for this year as well. I had seen a movie version of it and was disturbed by that element as well. I just read (or listened to) Jeckyll and Hyde last year - it was quite compelling not as a double personality or monster situation, but as someone trying to separate his sin nature from the rest of himself. I loved Jen Wilken's Women of the Word but haven't read anything else by her except a couple of articles. David Copperfield is a favorite.
