| My new hat... the perfect accessory for a night listening to Gershwin. |
Reading has been a little slower this week. I'm not finding The Old Curiosity Shop as engaging as other Dickens' novels have been for me so it's been slower going. I'm still working on catching up with reviews as well. Slowly but surely! :)

- The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens
- Henry Tilney's Diary by Amanda Grange
- Son by Lois Lowry (audiobook)

Some good Lois Lowry titles there!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm really coming to love her books! :)
DeleteI watched the movie The old curiosity shop this week. Have you seen it, Lois? It's a good one, liked it ��
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling to find enough time to read nowadays. So I haven't finished The BFG yet which I have been reading for a week now... Happy about completing the hound of the Baskervilles for reading challenge�� Thanks again for hosting it.
And you are reading All the Lights We can not see! Wow! That's a good choice, Lois. I do wish to read it... Hopefully I can pick it up this year ��
I'm so much looking forward to read your Review on what does The Bible really teach about homosexuality. The topic always confuses me. I believe it is a sin and always keep mum whenever I come across that topic. Hopefully your review can throw some light to my Opinion about them. Ah, it's an awfully baffling subject ��
I haven't seen that one but I'll have to watch it once I'm done with the book as I do love Dickens adaptations! I think you'd like the DeYoung book then. I'll leave my full dissertation for my review but the book is great about stating that yes homosexuality is a sin, here's the specific verses that indicate that, here are arguments that those who disagree use against the verses and here's why the verses still hold up. He goes into so much more but that's the gist of it.
DeleteI have not yet read Lois Lowry, but I'm curious. Love your hat...I can't wear them, I look ridiculous, but I collect them on a couple of hat trees.
ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Haha! Well I imagine I probably look ridiculous too but I just keep wearing them. ;)
DeleteJust put a library hold on 'What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality?' and can't wait to read it :) Our church split from our old denomination in part over this issue, so it's definitely an issue that has big implications, not only for people personally, but also for families, churches and church denominations, schools and communities as a whole.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! And this is a great starter book for learning more!
DeleteWhat fun!! And you and that hat (your entire ensemble really) look absolutely fantabulous. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your review on the book by DeJong.
Thanks! I wish if gotten a picture of my whole outfit but it was late and j was tired.
DeleteMatilda is one of my favourite Roald Dahl books. The BFG is up there as a favourite as well.
ReplyDeleteI've read a few Dickens novels but not The Old Curiosity Shop. I hope you enjoy all your current reads.
