Thankful!


I've been feeling thankful lately, so instead of waiting for Thanksgiving, why not post now? I’m thankful for...

Charlotte Brontë - for writing Jane Eyre. Loved this novel!

Donna Hosie, whose butt kicking comment (and I write that affectionately), shamed me into reading encouraged me to read Jane Eyre. You were so right, Donna!

Summer!! - I know I already blogged about my favorite season of the year here, but it’s a gorgeous 70 degrees at 7:30am. I’ve leisurely read through blogs in my pajamas with my first cup of coffee, finished writing this post, and plan to write on my deck with my second cup of coffee. Ah, bliss!

Harry Potter reread with friends – I’ll be rereading the HP series again with a longtime group of friends that I met through a HP fansite a few years ago. It’s casual, laid back, and a fun way to read about my favorite boy wizard. What I love about these highly insightful people is that every time we reread together, I always gain a new perspctive about Rowling’s series. It’s the perfect way to prepare for Deathly Hallows II and Pottermore!

  1. Congrats on your award! :-)

    Excited (!) about Deathly Hallows too - but sad that it's all coming to an end. Sigh...

  2. I'm sad too, but Harry Potter lives on. My youngest daughter has only seen the films but is now interested in having the books read to her. It's going to fun (and magical) to watch her experience Harry's story for the first time!

  4. I love "Jane Eyre". I read it the summer my mom died, and I had no friends as we'd just moved to a new place. I sought solace in the library and my list of recommended reading for college bound kids. I was 14. I loved the book so much I immediately went to "Wuthering Heights". Hated it.

    Congrats on the award.
