You have your priorities straight. :) Becoming Mrs. Lewis (looks fun!) has just been added to my library list...thank you. I think you will really like Agnes Grey. Impressed that the book you had on your shelf the longest has only been there one year! Well done. That looks like a lovely book, too, so added it to my list as well.
Happy New Year!~ I'm very much excited to see your reviews on Agnes Grey and Becoming Mrs. Lewis. I've not heard of The Storms of War, but I've added it to my tbr. And I love your spiritual goals.
I have just got the life of Charlotte Bronte. Do you want to buddy read it? I also want to read Agnes grey soon 😊 I now love the classics, I so badly want to read so many books that you like x
Ooh, that would be awesome! I'm thinking of waiting to read it until I've finished her other novels so it might be a couple of months before I get to it. When were you thinking you wanted to read it?
Meghan Hanet I honestly don’t mind when we read it although I’m busy till April so either April or May would be perfect. I’m so looking forward to it. I got it with my Christmas money so it will be I’m my haul video at the start of February. You and Kate inspired me to get the book, it’s one I’m desperate for as I love the brontes. I want to have read them all by the end of the year. 😊
@@novellenovels Me too! I'm so glad you got it. May will most likely work for me to read it. I can't wait! I've put it on my calendar to check in with you in a couple months about it.
Meghan, I really enjoy your videos notwithstanding my personal non-belief in God. Having said that I love the Classics and especially in the last decade--Regency, Victorian and 20th Century literature. I'm curious if you have read Anthony Trollope's Barchester series beginning with The Warden? It's very much about the religious life, church politics and romance of the middle Victorian period. It is said that Trollope "wrote women" so much better than Dickens. I think you will find the spirituality of The Warden (the gateway drug to Trollope!)--particularly rewarding.
Thanks, William! I'm so glad you've joined in on the conversation here. I haven't read Trollope, but I've been meaning to. From what Katie from Books and Things has said, he sounds fascinating - particularly his Barchester series. Is Trollope your favourite Victorian writer?
@@meghanthestorygirl4581 Trollope is a wonderful Victorian writer--he is especially sympathetic and dimensional in writing from the perspective of women, but no he is not my favorite. George Eliot is my favorite, and in my opinion the most intelligent and brilliant writer: Middlemarch, Silas Marner, Mill on the Floss, and Adam Bede (which I think you would especially like); and, Thomas Hardy: Tess D'Uberville and Far From the Madding Crowd in particular.
You should be careful reading nonfiction. Primary sources are better. Nonfiction by a secondary source is tainted by the bias and motives and questionable sources of the author. If you'd like a rec on writings by someone truely connected to God, Joel Goldsmith. Comforting. And he inspires me to understand better the Bible.

It has been going so well for me so far!

Thanks so much! I hope we both enjoy The Storms of War :)
It is so hard to pick one word for the year! It was definitely the hardest question for me.
Yeah, super hard!
Love your answers and your desire to focus on God in 2020 :) I think I need to do this tag!
Thanks, Victoria! I'd love to see you do this tag.
Great answers, Meg!
Thanks, Sarah!

Yes, discernment is always important. :)
