I just finished rereading the secret garden. I relate to Mary as a child. I was spoiled too only forr different reasons. I’m blind and nobody says no to the disabled child. So I remember relating so hard to Mary when she asks Martha whose gonna dress her because I had that conversation so many times. And now it just makes me laugh. But I usedd to love that we had that in common. For the record, I can dress myself now.
That you love the Edwardian lady books surprises me 0%, you have all the good vibes I love, Amy! You are so well read and I aspire to reach your level one day. ☺
That copy of Secret Garden is gorgeous! I really liked Little Men! It was very similar in tone and feel to Little Women, and Jo was delightfully Jo still.
❤📚🌺Great Spring recommendations! I'm reading Middlemarch by George Eliot for March/April, and for your challenge, I'll be reading Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth. My cover is beautiful and screams Spring. 😊
Jane Austen definitely feels Spring and Summery to me! I really enjoyed this Spring book recommendation video. Your seasonal videos are always the best! 🌼🌷🩵
"Smells like an old book" 😂😂. If it's musty old-not good, but just "old paper smell"...ahhh heaven! Thanks for taking time out of your busy days for a great video. I love to read seasonally.😊
Wondering is Mortal Queens a single read or will there be a sequel? I'm just thinking that I don't want to jump into it if I'm going to have to wait for the next one to come out. Thank you for all your recommendations, I truly love all your videos!
I loved “Jane Austen at home” as an audiobook. Somehow I read it first as a book and completely forgot! And then listened to it and felt so much connection with her fate and her desire to create.
I haven't even thought about Spring books, even though the spring flowers have already started blooming. I am currently reading Mrs. Pollifax and the Hong Kong Buddha, which takes place at the end of May.
@@ChantelReadsAllDay I was shocked when I saw I had let 2 months pass between Mrs. Pollifax books! They really are so fun. I have a couple of other friends reading them, too.
I'm not really a seasonal reader until the Fall.... then I usually want to read dark academia or Mysteries. 😅 but if someone has a prompt (like Kate's year long challenge she's doing this year) for a winter book or summer book, I'll pick one up that fits usually.
I have The Nature of Small Things but haven't read it yet. I think it'll go onto my April TBR. 100% agree with all the books so far, though! I need to try All Along You Are Blooming. Haven't read that either. I've been talking about A Bird in the Tree (and the Elliot Trilogy) a lot. I will say that I think you'll get MAD at the characters (you should) but I will also say it is taken care of and handled. Which I think is pretty cool. Understood Betsy is THE BEST. I love it. And if you like it, you might like Love, Elisabeth by Christy Martenson. I think for spring, I'm DEFINITELY pulling out a few more of my D. E. Stevenson books. They are usually either springy feeling or autumnal so I'll have to dig around and see.
Oh, I think you'll love The Nature of Small Birds! And thanks for the heads up on the characters in the Elliot trilogy, that will help me when I'm reading, I'm sure. I have yet to read an D. E. Stevenson, is Miss Buncle the place to start or where?
I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think you’ll enjoy Belladonna. If I remember correctly, there’s a bit of language and one open-door scene. Have you read The Grace of Wild Things?
Can ask that maybe one day you do a section on Christian fiction/sci-fi that a woman could buy for a brother, husband, or father that is really difficult to find. sorry if you have done that already.
If Chantel reads all the day she reads all the 24 hours , then she reads all the 24*60 minutes and if she reads all the 24*60 minutes then she reads all 24*60*60 seconds.
It's from the RU-vid Audio library it's free to use that's why so many ppl use it. I don't know the name of that track specifically but It shouldn't be too hard to find.
I've just ordered the country diary in through the library. I also discovered there, and have ordered, the BBC dramatization, done in twelve parts, one for each months. I hope it's done well. Have you seen it? Or you @AmyofHearthRidge? Or anyone else?
