this is a fun post! I just finished Villette by Charlotte Bronte (not sure what i think of it yet, it was interesting though) and I just started Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell! It is my first time reading her works and i am thoroughly enjoying it so far! I am also in the beginning/middle of Les Miserables (the beginning is SO long,…but i am nowhere near the middle yet!) I truly enjoy it but that is Hard reading for me so i dont pick it up as often, but i am ever so slowly working my way through it. it is worth reading. So that is what i am reading in classics….
also Creative Correction by Whelchel….interesting, have not gotten much into it yet. (child training)
and i just started Tending the Heart of Virtue by Guroian… “How classic stories awaken a child’s moral imagination” fascinating and totally goes with a CM education idea (at least what i have read so far!
i am working my way through Ourselvs by Charlotte Mason as well….slowly…
husband and i are reading Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas which i highly recommend, though we have not finished it
…and i have my “easy” reading… Mr. Knightley’s diary by Amanda Grange (yes, i do enjoy some Jane Austen fan fiction on occasion!….it is fun reading about some of my favorite characters a bit more….so long as it is clean! there are some series i really enjoy and a lot of trash too.)
so yes i always keep a good collection of books going at one time too!
