Gentle, thoughtful reading

This is about the time of year that I get completely fed up with winter. Last night when we came home to our cold, dark-at-6:00 PM apartment, I started day dreaming of Martha's Vineyard and Saratoga and picnics and all sorts of other delightful summer activities. Not to torture you or anything. You are probably having a lovely day off right now! Just wanted to say that for me, January requires gentle, thoughtful reading. The following have provided a lot of pleasure while I sit in front of my fake fire DVD:


PS: You can get Anne for free on your Kindle!

And also: I would love to bring back "What's on your nightstand," if you all are game. I just love hearing about the fun books you guys enjoyed! If you'd like to play, write to me at fresh.basil.blog AT gmail.com with a book or two you'd like to recommend. No need to have a blog yourself, of course!

    Never, ever will I tire of Anne of Green Gables!

    Ashley, you are the wonderful one who first introduced me to Anne! I think in fourth grade probably?! She never goes out of style.

    I love love love Anne of Green Gables! I used to be jealous of her, ha! I remember there was a summer I tried to read all of L.M. Montgomery's books.

    Hi Eva! Thanks so much for stopping by and saying hello!

    I think my goal NOW is to re-read all of L.M. Montgomery's work. It's been far too long!

    That's a pretty awesome goal, Julie. I think I might need to do the same!
