Lynae's booklist

You know, I am a typical bookworm. If I receive a book, I read like heck until I finish it. In between Christmas and my birthday I usually read school books, but in the Summer I can read whatever strikes my fancy. So far this year I have read:

  • Lost Queen of Egypt; an interesting fiction book about King Tutankhamen's wife.
  • Hamlet; Although Shakespeare's works are long and rather boring, I found this book rather interesting.
  • The Lost Prince; I don't remember much about this book, but I know I enjoyed it and found it rather easy to read.
  • Watership Down; At first this book seemed very boring but by the end I wanted to read it again. It's about a bunch of rabbits who experience the differences between living in the wild and being raised for meat.
  • Black Ships Before Troy; This is a book about the basics of the Trojan war. Its information is taken from Homer's writings.
  • Beautiful Girlhood; The title says it all. This book is a guide for godly young women that covers everything from apparel to relationships. I read it every year.
  • The Cricket on the Hearth; I didn't really understand this book until I finished it, but it was very good and held my attention well.
  • Romeo and Juliet; The tragic story of two lovers whose parents hate each other. Another of Shakespeare's writings.
  • Kenilworth; Written by Sir Walter Scott, this one is probably my favorite book from c.1600 A.D.
  • The Hiding Place; An amazing story about the faith that Corrie Ten Boom had in Christ during WW2.
  • Penrod and Sam; A fun story about two young boys trying to have fun during the early 20th century.
  • Love Comes Softly, Love's Enduring Promise, and Love's Long Journey; What can I say about these? If you've read them, you know how wonderful they are, If you haven't, You're missing out. I'm waiting for Love's Abiding Joy.
  • Never Miss a Sunset; The true story of a hardworking 13 year old girl who has 9 brothers and sisters and is left with the responsibility of taking care of them when their mother's sick.
  • Tisha; The true love story of 19 year old Anne Hobbs who becomes a schoolteacher in Alaska in the 1920s. I found this story very interesting.

  1. Hi HI Hiii! I'm back on-line. Whoooopie!

    You are one incredible reader! Wow. Because of my short attention span, *cough sputter lol* all my reading these days of actual BOOKS is done by audio.

    I've missed you and hope that you are having a most excellent summertime. :) I wish we could walk through our gardens with one another and see what each other is growing/harvesting/canning, etc.

    Have a great week, hugs, Robin
