staying the course

 

Right about now you

might be asking yourself...

Is she really going to go

there?

 

 

Quite simply...

no.

I will say however...

this is a great country we live in...

where each person has a voice

that is heard.

The people have spoken

and now is the time

to rally together

and support the President of

the United States.

 

Do I hear...

amen?!

 

Switching gears

to the true purpose of this post...

 

Our October read

carried over into November...

as we began Frankenstein

we all had mixed reviews.

 

Now I am a firm believer in

putting a book aside

after giving it a good

solid start...

but there were aspects of Shelley's work

that made me want to

stick it out.

 

Foremost...

we have all heard or seen

so many inaccurate

interpretations of this novel

that I had a true desire

to know the original

version.

 

Secondly...

written in the early 1800's

we encountered language not

used regularly in today's world.

(loved the dictionary feature

on Kindle:)

Score one for vocab!

 

Finally...

when a story guides

you naturally through serious

issues of

exploring the unknown

following your dreams

personal responsibility

feelings of rejection

the importance of love

balancing intellect and emotion

heart and mind.

Well...

one must

stay the course.

 

It may not have been the gripping

page-turner I was hoping for

but it was thought provoking

and a wonderful

means for open discussion.

 

Getting your teens to

open-up...

well worth the effort

put forth!

 

Leaving me eager

to devour the classics...

one by one

in an attempt to learn

more about

ourselves

and our

world.

 

Any suggestions to our stack above?

We are planning on

The Gift of The Magi

for our December read

but welcome your

input.

 

Good day to you!

 

Now go read a good book!
