Overdue Books

by Gail





If you are anything like me your stack of purchased to-be-read books is teetering over. So for this challenge we would be reading 5 books that we have already purchased, have been meaning to get to, have been sitting on the nightstand and haven’t read before. No going out and buying new books. No getting sidetracked by the lure of the holiday bookstore displays.
The bonus would be that we would finally get to some of those titles (you know you picked them for a reason!) and we wouldn’t be spending any extra money over the holidays.

I just read about this over at Bona Vita Rusticanda Est this weekend. Tim’s Mom, in turn, had read about it over at Krakovianki. Thus I have decided to post about the From The Stacks Winter Reading Challenge myself. Here are the books I have chosen:
1. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
2. My Antonia by Willa Cather
3. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
4. The Willty of Modesty: Cultivating Virtue in the Face of a Vulgar Culture by David J. Vaughan
5. Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America by Jeff Pollard
If anyone else decides to join in the fun, let me know. I’d love to see what others are reading!
