Finished Reading: "Emily of New Moon" by Lucy Maud Montgomery!!

Read from August 12 to 26, 2013 

 

I have always been a huge fan of L. M. Montgomery, and this book is making me fall even more in love with her. I so adore her unique writing style, and very large and creative imagination.

Emily's father is dead, and one of her mother's family members must take her in. So she goes with her Aunt Elizabeth Murray to New Moon and live there a happy life, making new friends, learning new things, and writing new letters and stories, as writing happens to be her favorite hobby. The story might not seem so becoming, but once you're in, you'll never want to be out.

I give this novel five out of five stars because there is no "six out of five stars".

Chapter 4: In Which I Write About My Favourite Book Of My Favourite Series

 My favourite series is "Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery, and my favourite book from this series is the first one which name is also "Anne of Green Gables". It was really worth reading, and I enjoyed it a whole much. The book talks about this orphan girl Anne, who has heaps of imagination, and always makes poeple astonished at the ideas she gets almost from nowhere. She's lively, adorable, sweet, but bad tempered which made her go through a lot of hardships. I really don't mind re-reading it again and again and again, for it absolutely is worth the shot!

Chapter 3: In Which I Write About The Book That Surprised Me In A Good Way!

This is my favourite cover for this Great Classic! This book was given to me by my cousin, and the only reason I started reading it was the fact that it was written in English. The beginning was actually boring: two men talking and an other one joining them, the three kept talking, but then things started improving in a different and exciting way. Dorian, like a child, started to discover himself, what's wrong and what's good, and here begun the struggle. All in all, this book did surprise me and I'm really grateful that I discovered it!

Finished Reading: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

 

It was a great read indeed, though I had such a painful time skipping through it because it contains some passages I don't like to read, but the whole thing is far from better. One do get something out of it if one is just being a "filter".

 Personally, I like to do some spiritual reflections from time to time while reading a book, and always thank God because I'm a Muslim girl and because I believe in God. Charlie got through hard times because he thinks that no one is there for him. He has not thought of God once, in the whole book (or he forgot Him .. I think there was something but .. I really can't remember), being there for him and never letting him down, so he did what he did and got what he got. 

But again I say that the book is really really really great, I even gave it 4.5 stars out of 5, and yeah! It desevres it!!

Finished Reading: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.

A most shocking and sad end! I just didn't expected it to be so -well I had my own suspecions, but I just pushed them away. Agatha Christie is a genius, she makes the most uexpected twists, she just makes you believe in things, and then you're forced to let go of it all. But I'll provide my heart no more pain by reading her novels, for I mostly like happy endings.

Book Haul

I've bought one book this month - which I'm going to do every month God willing - and that is Jane Austen's Complete Novels. I've read four of them till now : Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion, but I really want to re-read them. So I'm so happy that I actually own that beautiful book.

 

 

I'm so exicted to read it.. ^^

Finished Reading Winnie-The -Pooh! Fascinating!

If anyone should know anything about anything, then I should know that this novel is a piece of awesomeness. Winnie-the-Pooh is officially one of my Favourites-of-all-Time. It dealt with nothing, yet with everything. Its characters were silly yet wise and clever enough to lead a happy life. It is really inspiring to read its sentences and laugh at some stupid situations and conversations. Pooh Bear, Rabbit, Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Baby Roo, Owl and Christopher Robin are all Good Friends to me now, and I shall cherish them for ever after, God Willing.

Rilla of Ingleside by L. M. Montegomery

Rilla of Ingleside by Lucy Maud Montegomery

"Rilla of Ingleside (1921) is the final book in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but was the sixth of the eight "Anne" novels she wrote. This book draws the focus back onto a single character, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter Bertha Marilla "Rilla" Blythe. It has a more serious tone, as it takes place during World War I and the three Blythe boys—Jem, Walter, and Shirley—along with Rilla's sweetheart Ken Ford, and playmates Jerry Meredith and Carl Meredith—end up fighting in Europe with the Canadian Expeditionary Force."

That was Wikipedia's review on this splendid novel, and here is mine: it is simply MARVELLOUS. I had such a good time reading this novel, along with other ones, because I couldn't be torn off so quickly from this series, so it took me a long period to complete it. I was more than acquainted with the characters, and it nearly broke my heart to be separated from all of the dear ones. I shed some bitter tears over the death of Walter Blythe, and then I laughed at Susan's quotes which were not meant to be jokes at all, and it all came out with a favourite-of-all-time.

A really good read, and you must give it a try. Happy reading!

A.A.Milne: a Tender Writer

I could hardly expect it of a man, I mean writing books for children, and enjoyable ones too. I'm talking about A.A.Milne who wrote "Winnie-the-Pooh". I have nothing in particular against men, but then I think women are much more tenderer, and I really imagined a female author for such a book. But then again there exist some women who can do terrible things, so why can't men do splendid things? I can fathom no reason for it, and that you may tie to.
