So far this Christmas break I have finished three novels:
Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind
Phillipa Gregory's The White Queen
and Charles Martin's Chasing Fireflies
I get very, very attached to books-- like, really, I weep every time I read the Harry Potter series-- and so I always hate to turn that final page, but the sorrow is quickly eclipsed by my excitement to jump into a new literary world. Right now, I'm working on C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, and let me tell you: it's awesome. Awesome. It is such a fresh take on the life and trials of a believer, and satiric prose is the perfect fit for me.
Also on tap for this Christmas break:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise
Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence
Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey
Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief
and hopefully many more...
And now, I have a date with my man C.S.
