I think Shanghai allowed me to enjoy Dreams even more than I would have. I loved the historical aspect in Dreams.<br /><br />Jennifer, thanks for the comment! I love that you guys work on your own blogs. That brother of mine has some pretty good ideas. :) I'd highly recommend Because of Winn-Dixie, and my 6th grade daughter loved A Monster Calls (you should see if Eric's heard of that one!)<br /><br />Bellezza, aren't those some of the heart-warmingest titles? The last 3 Cather titles I've read have been rereads, but all the rest will be first experiences - exciting! Willa Cather seems rather contemplative to be fully appreciated in high school, at least she would have been for me. Some things are just better with age. :)<br /><br />Bellezza,Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-22023802147691058742012-05-05T12:57:09.662-07:002012-05-05T12:57:09.662-07:00Oh, you have such lovely titles for books read in ...Oh, you have such lovely titles for books read in April! Love Because of Winn-Dixie, love Watership Down, and long to reread My Antonia since I read Cather's book Shadows on The Rock and was crazy about it. Somehow, I missed the beauty of My Antonia when I was required to read it in high school.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-35709138439814601072012-05-01T00:56:28.007-07:002012-05-01T00:56:28.007-07:0013 books in April!

I read several of them and I liked some of them, but now I know what books to read next!

I'm in the same situation as you - there's so many books I want to read that I just can't get to them all.<br /><br />Enjoy Dreams of Joy, I thought it was a fitting sequel to Shanghai Girls.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.com
