books yet
I'm designing something new&exciting for entrancy.org. In addition to the new photoportfolio. I feel slightly guilty about spending so much time these last few days sitting at the computer BUT sometimes it has been too hot to go much out and about and there has not been much out and about to do because - around fourth of July CROWDS and stuff and friends being unavailable (work and things).
Oh! Right now I am going to put down all the books I've read yet this summer. Because I haven't had enough money to go and buy lots of books at the bookstore like I used to (when I delivered newspapers for moneys). And I don't want to forget what books I read when I turn them back into the library like I have a tendency to do.
ahem
The Town in Bloom by Dodie Smith:
I was so, so, SO excited when browsing through the library to stumble upon numerous books by Dodie Smith (who wrote the best book ever, I Capture the Castle). I had never seen other books of hers' in bookstores so I figured that she had only written I Capture. But there were two other books by her, The Town in Bloom and A Tale of Two Families (which I also got from the library but didn't read much of before I had to turn it back in.)
The Town in Bloom is about an eighteen-year-old spunky girl named Mouse in the '30s or '20s or so who is living in the city wanting to be an actress and the book is about her growing up escapades along with her interesting & colorful characters of friends. It is a good book but I was a little disappointed that it didn't quite have that thing which makes I Capture the Castle so enchanting.
Emily's Quest by LM Montgomery:
I love LM Montgomery and all of her books that I have read so far so it is not a surprise that I liked this one. However I should've read the first two books in the series first instead of starting with the third. It was the only one at the library. It was still good though. Just confusing sometimes or it felt like there were things left out. Because I didn't read the prequels.
Chocolat by Joanne Harris:
I adore the movie Chocolat and also adore the book, which I read after having watched the movie 100000 times already over years. The book is a lot different from the movie but has a lot of the same basic spirit. It would definitely be rereadable.
The Years by Virginia Woolf:
I like Virginia Woolf because she captures lives in series of moments. All this book is a series of moments over a span of many many years. It is vaguely depressing but after having finished it not really depressing. The language is very lovely (as always with V.W. books) and... and... it's good.
The Hours by Michael Cunningham:
I got this book from the library because one of the main characters is Virginia Woolf. It's well-written and deep but depressing. Really depressing! Kind of like you miss the meaning because of saying: "aw no!" when something depressing goes on.
Onward!
