Sometimes I dream of getting locked in the library : ). <br /><br />I'm going to have to look into those Classic Starts books for myself and the kids. I of course love all of your other favorites too, though I've always thought Shakespeare was too far over my head ; ). I enjoyed this post!Jennifer Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620872883706842592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-1553080484089280932010-11-29T00:40:45.716-07:002010-11-29T00:40:45.716-07:00I'm totally a hardbacks kind of girl.

Scott and I used to go to the bookstore all the time when we were dating and newly married (they had comfy chairs, everything you could ever want to read and free air conditioning!) I love our collection of hardbacks that remind me of that time. Now, if only I would read them all...pinksuedeshoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002905706141198125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-31190605771417729342010-11-28T05:34:00.570-07:002010-11-28T05:34:00.570-07:00Great FTF!

I visit the library a lot these days and read their recommended selection and have found some interesting reads that way. Philippa Gregory writes brilliant novels about The Tudors, all the intrigue and plotting of Henry the Eighth and his wives :-)Baa-Me Kniitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532601173550095905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-26778439486344535772010-11-27T04:29:42.107-07:002010-11-27T04:29:42.107-07:00I'm a big HP fan as well.

Expensive, but a great investment.<br />I have read Twilight and seen the films, but they don't do a lot for me. I want to give Bella and Edward a slap most of the time! <br />Compare Bella to Elizabeth Bennett!Shevvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597474715523695213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-42915608163147195532010-11-26T21:41:01.700-07:002010-11-26T21:41:01.700-07:00Great post, Elizabeth!

It seems to take me forever to make it through a book because of a wandering attention span and/or heavy eyelids. Maybe if I read other than at night when I'm sleepy!Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-72065821970447893792010-11-26T21:14:19.807-07:002010-11-26T21:14:19.807-07:00A lovely FTF Elizabeth.

I was on holidays when I read the first 4 HP books , and then waited and waited for the next books to come out. Last year's holidays when I was staying at a friends house, between my daughter and her daughter they had all the Twilight series. I read all 4 books in about 3 days. Staying up until 2 in the morning and reading as soon as I woke up. I loved the Host too.<br />Lately I've been reading Jane Austen and really enjoyed it. One book I am not enjoying, I am really having trouble finishing it, is Eat Pray Love.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659940271976716013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-20192627284681815012010-11-26T19:59:33.852-07:002010-11-26T19:59:33.852-07:00Harry Potter and Jane Austin are all time favorite...Harry Potter and Jane Austin are all time favorites. But I'm with Mrs. P. on the Twilight series, I could not get into the first book, so haven't read any of the others either. My daughter tells me I'm nuts, it's her absolute favorite series (but she's asked to read my copy of "Pride and Prejudice". We'll see how that goes.) <br /><br />Great FTF post!

There have been a few exceptions though. :-) I read every night before I go to sleep.<br /><br />Since Mr. Bug is a paperback reader, if he is interested in swapping books, he might consider checking out: www.paperbackswap.com.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-37372537325464220672010-11-26T18:28:55.436-07:002010-11-26T18:28:55.436-07:00I've read lots of the same books (although I j...I've read lots of the same books (although I just don't get Jane Austen!)

Ive never read or seen Twilight. (I'm probably the only person in the known universe to admit to that too)<br /><br />I love reading. I read every day.<br /><br />Thankyou for sharing some of your favourites. I think it's wonderful that you're trying to instill a love of reading in your kids. So many people dont think it's important. It really is. Books transport us to other worlds in a way the internet and technology never can.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.com
