These are the books I'm reading this weekend. ☀️ The weather is fantastic, so I haven't read all that much yet. . What are you doing and reading this Easter weekend? . . . . . #bookstagram #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readmorebooks #booknerdigans #booknerd #booklover #mustread #charlesdickens #bookgeek #charlottemason #motherculture

Grief and death have been a recurring theme in my reading this month. I read When Breath Becomes Air, by Kalanithi, as well as C.S. Lewis' A Grief Observed. Other books I'm reading have mentioned death, or characters died. Last night I dreamed I died. Probably because of all these books. 🙈 Goodness! I really ought to read something light and fluffy. . Any recurring themes in your reading this month? . . . . . . . . #bibliophile #books #book #bookish #bookaddict #bookstagram #booksofig #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #currentread #aprilbooks #cslewis #agriefobserved #motherculture #booknerd #bookobsessed #readingclassics #readabook #readingtime📖 #readmore #shereadstruth

Oh guys! I started this yesterday, and I have a feeling it's going to knock Mary Barton of the No.1 spot of favourite Gaskell book. Ruth is just loveable from the start. I feel for her, poor thing. . Thank you to all the ladies that are reading this with me. The discussion and random book chat are the best. You make the experience of reading all of Gaskell's books even better. . Have you read any Gaskell? Which is your favourite? . . . . . . #elizabethgaskell2019 #bookish #elizabethgaskell #literature #bookstagram #booknerd #litlover #booksofinstagram #bookcover #readbooks #booksaddict #bookaddict #bookworm #oxfordworldsclassics #bookcover #readingclassics #charlottemason #bookphoto

This story doesn't seem to go anywhere, and I love it for that. 😂 Goodness, Dickens is being brilliant. . “There are very few moments in a man's existence when he experiences so much ludicrous distress, or meets with so little charitable commiseration, as when he is in pursuit of his own hat.” . . . . . . . . #bibliophile #charlesdickens #thepickwickpapers #dickens #bookish #dickensian #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #classics #readingtheclassics #readbooks #literature #readdickens #bozbookclub #booklove #booknerd #booknerdigans #bookcover #books #book #wordsworthclassics #vintagebooks

"Mum, it looks like he's attacking your flowers". 😂 I started this last year. I'm not absolutely loving it, but it's okay. My son on the other hand did not enjoy this at all. Described as the Scottish Robin Hood, I thought this might be for him, but he said there was too much political bla bla in it. His words, not mine. 🤷 He does love Ivanhoe, also by Scott, but that one contains more action. . Scott it one of those writers I wish to read a whole lot more of. Part of me would love to read through all of his Waverley novels, but the other part tells me it would be insane. . Do you have an author you'd like to read all the works of? . Mine would be Edith Wharton, Elizabeth Gaskell, The Brontës, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, and maybe Sir Walter Scott. I also love George MacDonald, so maybe him as well. Let me know yours! . I'm currently working my way through all Gaskell's works with a wonderful group of readers. Our April read is Ruth, and if you'd like to join, let me know. . . . . . . #sirwalterscott #robroy #scottish #literature #elizabethgaskell #books #bookstagram #booksof2019 #booksofinstagram #amblesideonline #biblio #classics #readinapril #readingtheclassics #readingtime #books📚 #bookclubofinstagram #bookclub #readalong #charlottemason #bibliophile #charlottemasonliving #motherculture #scholeeveryday #schole #classicaleducation

I've started to read this book to help me to get through Middlemarch. It's no secret I'm not in love with Middlemarch, so reading someone's perspective on it, hopefully makes it a bit more of a pleasurable experience. . Have you read this book? Do you love Middlemarch? And tell me what it is you love about Middlemarch...enlighten me. 👍💕 I need it. . . . . . . #middlemarch2019 #middlemarch #booksof2019 #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #charlottemason #charlottemasonliving #motherculture #memoir #georgeeliot #livingbooks #amblesideonline #literature #readingallthebooks #reading #readingtheclassics #bibliophile #booknerd #bookworm
