But it's fun to be playing catch up and read yours. I read Boys in a Boat a few weeks ago and enjoyed it very much. It's not quite as good as Unbroken, but you know that even putting it in the same class as Unbroken means a great deal! :)<br /><br />I look forward to reading your thoughts on the others. I've been disappointed in about half of the books I've been reading this summer. :(Shonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310547848215492736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-68424447575804851182015-07-29T06:43:36.869-07:002015-07-29T06:43:36.869-07:00Ah, The Secret Garden.

I'm trying not to pile on too many new titles to my to-read list, but it's hard.

I had tried with the girls were really little and they weren't ready for it, but it was such fun this go round. And can you believe that I've not read the new S.D. Smith yet?! I've been sucked into Anne (your fault) and can't quit it. : )<br /><br />Also, speaking of Anne, after reading the series a bazillion times growing up on this read through I just now got the line about why Moody Spurgeon could only be a minister with a name like his.

Problem is, I'm also looking at the Lord of the Rings trilogy and thinking I should read that again - and I'm very, very slo-o-o-wly working my way through John Flanagan's "Ranger's Apprentice" series. I just don't seem to have time to immerse myself in fiction - and immersion is the way I only ever want to do fiction. So, nonfiction gets read while fiction languishes on the "Oh, I want to read that" pile.bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-33883261148757216702015-07-28T06:22:43.147-07:002015-07-28T06:22:43.147-07:00Confession: I have never read The Secret Garden, t...Confession: I have never read <i>The Secret Garden</i>, though I've wanted to for a long time.<br /><br />Based on your reviews, I <i>need</i> to read <i>The Accidental Feminist</i>.<br /><br />I've got <i>The Boys in the Boat</i> at home, waiting for the proper time.
