I like how you have been doing the wrap ups with little collected videos of each week or whenever you finish a book. It has been fun to see you in different clothes and different times and hear your thoughts on the books you read in the "real" time you finished them in one video. However, the little shorts idea sounds fun, too. I will gladly watch either way of talking about books.
I hope that all is going good as you guys are starting up a church, unpacking, and discovering a new place. I will continue to pray for you guys as you adjust and grow in your new home 🎉❤
Fun wrap up. Loved hearing the little snippet about Charlotte Mason. I homeschooled my girls and used the Charlotte Mason method. ❤
I work for World Vision! My favorite reads from May were Rascal by Sterling North (read aloud to my sons) and Ballet Shoes, which was my first Noel Streatfeild. I am praying for your family’s adjustment to your new town ❤
My favorite book in May and so far this year is definitely Anne of Avonlea, from the minute Davy was introduced I fell in love with his character! 💗💗
Yesssss for Anne of Avonlea!
Thanks for adding the chapters with the book titles!
Orbiting Jupiter had me sobbing like a baby. One of my middle school students suggested it to me, and it certainly earned those 5 stars.
Have you read The Wednesday Wars and Okay for Now by him? Those are my favorites.
❤📚📚❤️ You really had a great reading month with all you had going on, awesome!
I just grabbed The Nature of Fragile Things on Libby! Thank you for the recommendation and review!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
@@ChantelReadsAllDay Thank you! I'm starting it today! I just finished Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons yesterday on Libby, disappointing.
@@starlasell5698 sucks, it's always too bad when there's disappointing books.
I have read Villette and thought it was very good.
Also you got me started on Dorothy Gilman. Thank you!
I've read 2 standalones, The Tightrope Walker and Caravan. So so good!!! Then I started Mrs. Pollifax. Love it!
Yay, glad to hear that about Villette AND Dorothy Gilman! I own both The Tightrope Walker and Caravan but haven't read those ones yet.
@@ChantelReadsAllDay they are so good. I would even describe Caravan as an epic story.
@@carlabrown6849 ooh, interesting!
I purchased Bella Donna a while back. I haven’t read it yet and I won’t be reading it! I was waiting to hear what you thought and I don’t think I would like it either! Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your input on books!
I'm glad I can save you some time!
Ive been reading my longtimers (as I call them books ive had for litrally decades) and absolutely adore my first book i finished this month the earl and the fairy. Now i need the rest of the series and started vol 4 - 6 bind up edition of inuyasha which I know will be a prolonged read as its huge. I had the earl and the fairy for about thirteen years and i love it now so maybe life stages means a lot when reading
Hhhmmmm, I had several in May that I really enjoyed-When Stars are Scattered(YA graphic), A Lady's Guide to Marvel & Misadventure, When the Day Comes and Twice Sold Tales.
That sounds like a great month! I need to get to A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventures soon!
Yay, I'm glad you liked the Kiss of Deception! I'm impressed that you got so much reading done during your move! Lol at your book in the kitchen box. Sounds like something I would do 😆
The kitchen box was a fail. 🤦♀️ Haha, oh well.
Wow, great books!
I have been wanting to read Lucy Worsley's biographies. I haven't read any yet, but I did buy her Jane Austen book for my sister in law last Christmas.
I wouldn't say Villette was overly boring.
It was in a box marked kitchen. 😂😂😂 I recently found a book just in a random box. I don't know why. It should have been with my TBR.
"I wouldn't say Villette was overly boring." Haha, I can't say this is inspiring too much confidence!
What's with books in boxes they shouldn't be in?!
@@ChantelReadsAllDay I mean, to me, most classics I haven't seen an adaptation of are somewhat boring. 😂😂
I'm hoping to read Lucy's Worseley's non-fiction book on Jane Austen next month!! I really want to read the Queen Victoria one too. I haven't read The Professor yet (it was the first novel she wrote I believe but didn't have success trying to publish it initially). Villette is so good! I really enjoyed The Nature of Fragile Things!
I read Skyward in June, and I really enjoyed it 😃!
Such a good one!
“Oh heyyy, just me making multiple trips to IKEA…” 😂 Living that Edmonton life to the fullest!
I read 2 Ruta Sepetys books this month once we got the move taken care of, and really enjoyed both. (I Must Betray You and Salt To The Sea)
The Ikea less than fifteen minutes away thing sure is handy. I'm glad you enjoyed your two Ruta Sepetys!
I agree that Shadows of Swanford Abbey was just okay. For me, I feel like it's more because of the ending, which wrapped up too nice and neat, and too easily as well.
I'm glad you enjoyed The Kiss of Deception, and I hope you like the second book too! It's personally my favorite in the series, but I feel like I'm in the minority on that.
I think my favorite book I read in May was Rosemary for Remembrance by Audrey Stallsmith. I can't wait to get my hands on the other two books in the series.
I'll have to see if I can get my hands on that book!
@@ChantelReadsAllDay Chautona recommended it!
I loved reading The Nature of Fragile Things! The ending!!!
Yesss!
I have Lucy Worsley’s Jane Austen biography in my immediate TBR. Currently reading For the Children’s Sake now and am really enjoying her modern breakdown of CM after reading Home Education. Would love to read more of the Bronte’s since I’ve only read Jane Eyre and it’s my favorite book. Loved this video and hope y’all are settling in well in your new home 😄
Thanks Haley, we're starting to feel settled, only a few more boxes to unpack which should happen this week. I hope we both enjoy Lucy Worsley's Jane Austen!
I really enjoyed Swanford Abbey.
For May, I had reread Inkheart by Cornelia Funke which still stands up well. My pastor has us read Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer in preparation for a series next year and I enjoyed it but his writing is strange: there are so few paragraphs. It would probably be better as an audio book. I also finally read Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson and Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Now, I need to watch the movies for those.
I listened to audio mainly on our move across country the year I started my channel - this is feeling very familiar!
I tried to read the Professor in May and I was SO BORED! I DNFd it at about 35%.
I have been reading CJ Archer's Glass Library Mysteries and loving them. I had started to read Watchmaker's Daughter and couldn't get into it, but maybe I'll try again.
I so adore Pastor Keller's speaking, but have yet to really LOVE any of his books. Including Prodigal God. I'll listen to him all day long though.
The fact that you DNFed The Professor makes me feel justified in feeling like it was so boring. I do think it got better but still not great.
I didn't even realize CJ Archer had another series, I love libraries and mysteries so it seems like I should check that one out!
My favorite book I read in May was The Divine Proverb of Streusel by Sara Brunsvold.
I can't wait to read that one!
My top 3 for may were
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Dragon Rider by Taran Matharu
Thr Crypt by Scott Sigler
Oh yay, glad you enjoyed Project Hail Mary! I'll have to check those other two out!
❤
I can’t believe I have not read The Nature of Fragile things yet!! It sounds so good!
I hope you love it!
Yes, you need to read that one!! So good.
I LOVED the Lost Library.
Is Ryan Graudin the Wolf by Wolf guy?
I did the same thing with "read in June" instead of May. I made fun of myself.
Yes, Ryan Graudin in the author of Wolf by Wolf, but she's a girl. 😊
I loved the Lost Library 📚 ❤ The Big Four wasn’t my favorite Agatha either
Lady of Milkweed Manor was my first Klassen and then I did The Apothecary's Daughter... And I remember loving the first ones because she did well with bringing up some Christian themes that SHOULD be addressed and not. BUt this is probably like 10 years ago? I remember a lot of her newer ones feeling meh with.
OH! And the Gatekeeper something? I remember liking that one too.
I don't think I've really ready any of her earlier ones, I should check one of those out!
The Professor is definitely not my favorite Bronte and I personally think Villete is much better Even though there are a lot of similarities.
I'm glad to hear Villette is better!
