The Book Club Introduction

This is the start of the book club for my sisters and friends who want to take part!

We will be reading the classics that im reading for my Abigail Adams Academy class. I think it will help me to get more out of each book and to allow me to share it with more of my sistas!

We will plan to finish the 1st book, "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, by the 18th of November. We can blog about the book till the deadline and the weekend following the 18th of November we can finish any reviews of the book and move to the next. I will start a new post for each book we do so that we can all see where to post our comments and answers to the questions for that book. I would like to try to have each of us who are participating to introduce ourselves and tell why we are participating in the book club in this Introduction post.

I will go first!
I am doing the Abigail Adams class that these classic books are for because i want to improve my education of the classic and great works of our world. I home school my boys and feel that broadening my knowledge of classic works will only increase my ability to share their treasures with my kids and encourage them to read more. We can never know too much and should never stop trying to increase our knowledge and skills. I hope we can all have fun while we read these books together!

Ok,
Well, I love to read. That and the fact that Chanel invited me to participate in the book club and i feel like she needs my help are the reasons i am participating. I have read Jane Eyre before and own the book. I love the writing from this period.

thats awesome michelle! thanks for your help (wink). I also love the how beautiful the language is from this period. It shows me how far we have fallen in our discipline and mastery of our own language! Well we can only become better for exposing ourselves to such elegance in the written word! I know you will have it done before me! check out the next post for the questions to answer.
