Bookworm’s comments from the Classical Obsessions group.

I need to reread the series-I barely remember Cap, but now that you've said his name I do remember crushing on him!

Those were my first big-girl books I read by myself! I loved the Long Winter and Little House on the Town-oh yes, and the Big Woods. I would reread that one and get creeped out over the cougar that chased her grandpa through the woods.:)

Ah, gotcha! Yes, most definitly.:-)

Looking at it in the light of non-fiction, it is-he raved and ranted, and talked rather strangley at times.. which would make anyone wonder about him. But I think, as a book-girl, she was just naive- and- innocent- in love, and liked a dark and slightly morbid fellow. She had a rather peculiar upbringing herself, so I don't think she really thought as other people who had had a happy childhood.

Willoughby from Sense and Sensability, Josie Pie from Anne of Green Gables, Mr Pumblechook from Great Expectations, (how I detest the man!), and-I know you'll think I'm crazy-but Mr. Rochester. I don't HATE him perse, I just don't really like him a whole lot. He annoys me and angers me by turns, with how harsh he was with Jane

Oh so do I! I've only read two of them as well, A Christmas Carol, (which I reread every Christmas), and Great Expectations-read it to the end Jessica, it ends happy! It was quite thrilling and exciting.:)
Now I want to read the Pickwick Papers instead of David Copperfield next!

I love BBC's 2009 version of Emma. <3 the Gweneth Paltro version is also good. And the older version of Persuasion!

I definitly agree Anne of Green Gables is one of the best books for a cosy read-also Little Women! I always felt like my sisters and I were a lot like them.:)
Love the Secret Garden and A Little Princess.<3 Another book that has Frances Burnett's cozy style is Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglass Wiggins!
Really, it's hard to pick just one or two!!

I only speak Englush-I hesitate to add fluently, because my grammar is sometimes horrible-and know a smattering of Spanish. That, I am currently undertaking to study more, and then I want to learn German, if I can!

Absolutely! The perfect combination, except when it's drinking tea and reading.:) How long have you been writing, and what kinds of tea do you prefer?
I've exchanged letters (not counting family and friends that quit after a letter or two), since I was 13, and for tea I generally drink Lipton, though English Breakfast tea is lovely when we have it.<3 Also enjoy blueberry and apple cinnamon herbal teas!

Thanks Abby for the invitation!:) my name is Naomi, AKA Bookworm, I am 20 years old and from the United States.
Some more about me: I am a homeschool graduate
I love, love old books
If I could go back in the past it would be to the 1940's, early nineteen-hundreds, or Civil War.
I write letters, drink hot tea avidly, keep a journal, play around with watercolor, and discussing books is something I can't get enought of!:)
If I were asked to list the very best of the classic authors, I would say L M Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Frances Burnett, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and Kate Douglas Wiggins! (to name a slight few).
And this is just really the tip of the iceberg about me.:)
