Every room in the house has a bookcase or 2. My grandmother used to fuss at me for having so many books but I told her some of them were such friends you can't get rid of them. I have a few favorites that I read at least once a year or more, such as the Anne of Green Gable series. I love all of Catherine Marshall's books. She was so inspiring.

I love that book. I have several books by Katharine Marshall, and have enjoyed them all, but the others are inspirational books. I'm thinking that Christy was her only novel, but I'm not sure about that. Do you know of any others? <br />Blessings,<br />MarciaSimple Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655741174904816921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-61988597557861333802013-01-05T22:39:27.164-08:002013-01-05T22:39:27.164-08:00All those photos of orange trees are what I was pa...All those photos of orange trees are what I was paying attention to in this post. :-) They remind me of my father's orchards....I think you are in the Central Valley where I grew up, but I don't think you grow oranges commercially, or do you?

I used to love detective novels because that's what was around our house when I grew up. I read lots of classic books from the library as we couldn't afford all the books I was reading.<br /><br />Now I love to read books that teaches something about loving ourselves and others, self help, devotional, anything that feeds my spirit and soul and gives me happiness and knowledge. <br /><br />Anne of green Gable was a favourite series of mine. I remember trying to get one of my daughters interested in reading Anne of Green Gable and she was not interested so I read her one passage about when Anne used Horse Liniment by mistake in her baking and she was mortified when she served a piece of her cake to a neighbour. My daughter got so interested from then on that she read the whole series. Books are still a big part of her life and also her family. <br /><br />I love to read about your unusual adventures of when you were young. You have so many interesting little stories to tell. They are all part of the fabric of your life. <br /><br />Take care,<br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-11032020504207630552013-01-05T14:45:17.866-08:002013-01-05T14:45:17.866-08:00I read Christy when I was about the same age and I...I read Christy when I was about the same age and I was completely drawn in.

So last year and this year so far I have been reading lots and it's been good (even though they're all how to's and food books). I never knew you went on a road trip like that.
