Books Read In The Past Week

Books read for the first time are marked with a #

"Rhoda Thornton's Girlhood" #

by Mary Elizabeth Pratt 

[children's fiction, some Christian (Protestant) themes] {This is the book

I grabbed and put into the shopping bag when we were getting ready to leave on Sunday afternoon, and as it happens, I hadn't read it before.}

"Portrait of a Lady"#

by Henry James

[fiction]

{Only partially read.  Kathryn lent it to me after I finished Rhoda Thornton's Girlhood.  I hadn't finished this when we were ready to leave, so she gave it to me as a gift. However, when Mom, Winky and I returned home,  I decided that I wanted, needed, to read a book I already knew and loved. 

I do, however, plan to read, this book some time in the future.}

I am currently reading (make that re-reading, and you can add quite a few re's!):

"Papa's Wife"

by Thyra Ferre Bjorn

[fiction, Christian (Protestant) themes.]
