I like the deal you made with you mom! So cool. Last week I had a conversation with an elderly man in the grocery store and he told me he had heart surgery and walks, etc. He told me about Angel's flight. They fly people for emergency medical care. Since you mentioned the organ donors, I had to share that. Rush was a fascinating man and the book was well done. It's so unfortunate about his oldest son. This was a lot of fun. Thank you for tagging us. We plan on recording this week. Have you read An Artist in Treaston about James Wilkinson? It's really good. And then if you decide to read that, I'd recommend Valiant Ambition by Philbrick. I liked your list of what and who you will not read. I don't like his language either.
I'm getting close to finishing my reread of Anne of Green Gables so that I'll be ready for Anne of Avonlea next month! I think that Mom must be a little excited about our little arrangement, because she's brought up the fact that she will be reading Northanger Abbey next month without me broaching the topic. People who work on Angels Flight are true heroes! Emergency care is not for everyone, especially not emergency care that requires flighting someone to a facility. They are truly doing God's Work. I hope to record and post my review on "Rush" soon. It was just the palate cleanser I needed after some of my heavier reads. I'll have to look for your video on this tag; I'm so behind on watching peoples' videos. I'm catching them here and there as I can. I'll have to check out those books. I know that Libby at least has Valiant Ambition. I look forward to seeing your book list! God Bless, Tahlia
@@tahlia__nerds_out No worries on the tag video. I still need to edit it. I'm out of hard drive space so it's getting tricky. (and I have everything on an external drive, but I don't trust it. I've lost so many records/pictures/etc in the past due to tech). Anyway, I look forward to your review on Rush whenever you get to it. My son and I watched The Professor and the Madman and we were surprised that Dr. Rush was mentioned. We had to pause the movie and talk about it quickly. An hour movie takes us about 3 to watch because of that. LOL Hooray that you got your mom excited about Jane Austen. I hope she laughs as much as I did when I read Northanger Abbey. 🤗
Also, Austen’s Emma is fabulous, but it isn’t one of my top picks, because Emma irritates me a bit too 😂 My top two Austen are Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility.
Emma isn't my favorite, but it has grown on me. I can appreciate how the character of Emma is drawn, even though she can be very frustrating! I wanted a long Austen book for my desert island, and Emma narrowly won over Mansfield Park for me... mostly because I prefer Mr. Knightley to Edmund Bertram. The Crawford siblings made that choice a very hard one, though, because they are interesting to read. Persuasion and Sense & Sensibility are great favorites of mine too (Anne and Elinor are my favorites among Austen's heroines), though Marianne frustrates me even more than Emma. I have to admit that whichever Austen I happen to be reading tends to rise up in the ranking at least by 1 book as I enjoy the stories more thoroughly each time I read them.
Thanks so much for the tag! You are reading some of my favorites. Anne series, Les Miserable, and Sense and Sensibility.
You have good taste! 😊
