Over on my social media pages, I’m sharing with you some of the books that I absolutely love and this week is all about those books that I think about often.
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be doing, well, I suppose you could call it a kind of series. I’ll be sharing videos where I talk about books I love, with a different focus or theme, each time. I will also share short blog posts on those same books. If I’ve already written a review on the book, I’ll link it! This is meant to be a quick way to get to know me a little bit more – and these blog posts will be short reads! You’re welcome!
Now, this category is all about those books that, no matter what I’m writing, reading or crocheting, parts of these stories will sneak into my thoughts.
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy – Set in the tumultuous times of the French Revolution, one Englishman and his loyal followers dare to brave La Guilloutine and rescue a number of aristocrats.
