Have you ever read a book with characters, a world, and a plot so captivating you can’t stop thinking about it? For me, Wuthering Heights was one of those books.

Ever since I heard this story as a little girl, I was captivated. George MacDonald has a way of telling fairytales/ fantasy stories in a way that connects with a very human experience.

Nesbit’s The Phoenix and the Carpet”
Jane Austen (Action Figure) Adventures, Episode 4
“Tut, tut, I do wish there was something more interesting for me to stare blithely out the window at.” “Oh my!” “That looks unsafe!” “Flee! The giant squirrels are attacking!” Little did Jane know, the squirrel was only looking for a good book to read…
Crime and Punishment
Crime and Punishment toys with unique political, psychological, and philosophical ideas, exploring questions about morality, society, and human motivations.
Undine By Friedrich de la Motte Fouque
