wind in the willows

yikes. i’m a little late. [every day seems to slip into the next when i'm on vacation.]

in any case, did you not love wind in the willows? this time through i read the 100th anniversary edition–the pictures are absolutely magical. i love mole. i love rat. i love toad. i don’t think i’ll ever get tired of them.

what was your favorite part?

    I must admit I only read the first few stories because I went on vacation and my mom lent me her copy of Twilight. And then while I was there, I bought New Moon. When I got home from my trip I went out and bought Eclipse…. You get the point…I’ve been distracted (but I kind of like this whole starting the series as the last book comes out thing, it means I don’t have to wait around to find out what happens next). Anyway, I did want to say from the little bit of Wind in the Willows that I did read that I really enjoyed having a children’s book this month. Very fun and refreshing. It was nice to visit a little world like that and contemplate my own childhood imaginations. Thanks!

    I have to admit, I started reading and just didn’t enjoy it. There was too much description for me…most of the time I just prefer for the author to get to the point! Maybe because I never read it as a child I just don’t appreciate what the author was trying to say. Better luck with the next read. (Jessie - I always at least try the books…I’m not always good at finishing them!)
