I love how you said you are redeeming your literary education!! 📚🥰

@humblyhaley 11 дней назад

@@Tania.atlasinajar Thank you! I’m so sad I grew up without a lot of these great classic books but that doesn’t mean we can’t read them and enjoy them now in adulthood 🙌🏼😄

@@humblyhaley precisely! I totally agree!

Great video! Can't wait for your video on Milton's Paradise lost, since I just started this book. Also the book "you are a tree" sounds really good. Thanks for recommending!

@@monikaschneeberger4642 Thank you! Paradise Lost was so worth the time! I highly recommend C.S. Lewis’s book “A Preface to Paradise Lost” if you want to know more about it before diving in. I loved his defense of the book and his commentary of the characters. 😄

I loved Northanger Abby hope you love it too. I also need to read more Victorian novels. I feel like I'll love all of them.

@@judithcakelover I’m really excited for that one in particular! So far, I haven’t been disappointed by a single Victorian novel I’ve read 😄

I can't wait to hear what you think of Northanger Abbey, Frankenstein, and Wuthering Heights. All great books! Especially for Victober. I plan to read The Great Divorce soon for the first time also, I'm looking forward to it! I'm currently reading The Ravenwood Saga by Morgan L Busse, Mind Games by Paul Daugherty, The Delusion by Laura Gallier, and ATTEMPTING to finish War & Peace By Leo Tolstoy before the end of the year.

@@kelleymcfadin I’m excited for the reading month ahead! Very impressed that you’re reading War and Peace! I’ll attempt it someday hopefully lol I haven’t heard of the others but will have to look them up! If you read The Great Divorce too, I’d love to hear your thoughts when I post that video 😄

I haven’t read You are a Tree or Bad girls of the Bible, but I enjoyed the rest of these books. Sounds like it will be a good reading month!

This is my first Victober as well! I got too excited to wait and started reading Jane Eyre which I finished before October started. I’m reading The Woman in White by Wilkie Collin’s and so far it’s mysterious but not spooky. If I finish that before the end of the month I will try to read Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South. Also, I’m slowly working through a nonfiction book called Knights in Training by Heather Haupt. It’s a Christian book on why and how to raise boys in today’s society by teaching chivalry, leadership, and compassion. Love the videos!

@humblyhaley 11 дней назад

@@migdalahb Jane Eyre is my favorite book! I would love to read both of those books so you will have to tell me how you enjoy them. A Wilke Collins sounds perfect for October. I haven’t read any motherhood books specific to parenting boys yet since we had two girls first. I’ll have to look into it, thank you for sharing 😄

Even though Frankenstein is not Victorian it is a favorite of mine and a good one to read in October. I think the Victorian period was 1837-1901.

@humblyhaley 7 дней назад

@@theresas709 I have no idea why I assumed it was Victorian literature but you are right! I didn’t even realize but I agree with you, it will be a great one to pick up in October still. Will have to find a swap for that prompt 😂

@theresas709 7 дней назад

@@humblyhaley I don't always follow prompts. Sometimes I just pick what i want to read and if it fits a prompt at end of month, great. 😄I think I read Frankenstein in January and it was great then too. This month I am reading some Sherlock Holmes and East Lynne by Ellen Wood.

@humblyhaley 7 дней назад

@@theresas709 I completely get that, I’m very much a mood reader. I would love to squeeze in some Sherlock Holmes but I may have already overloaded myself this month so I might push that into November 😄 I hope you have a great Victober!
