Lulu: What a cool assignment!

Aunt Rae, I am SO thrilled about this month's assignment. I love a good re-read, but especially a nostalgic re-read.

First, I'm going to read A Room Made of Windows, by Eleanor Cameron. I don't remember a whole lot of the subject matter--I loved the main character, Julia, and her room with tons of windows (hence the title), and I remember loving the way I felt as I read it. So I'm excited to read it again.

I might also re-read the Wrinkle in Time series, Jane Eyre, or Dragonwyck.

Unsure of book choice...

Okay, I don't really want to read Witnesses anymore and am wondering just what to read. The writing so far (and I'm not very far) is just really "trite-ish" (is that a word?). It doesn't help that I just finished reading Dragonwyck and really enjoyed it.

I'm also realizing that I love historical fiction -- but I love it best when the main character is fictional. Make sense? I just don't like wondering all the way through the novel, how much of this is true? Whereas with a fictional character, none of the character's life is true but the events can be true. I think I could do a real-life character in a fiction book if I already knew a lot about that person. Maybe I'll have to revisit Witnesses after reading more about Anne Hutchinson.

For now, if I have time before/after/in-between Mom/Mim reading The Winthrop Woman, I might read that (although that's about Elizabeth Winthrop...a real-life woman).

Based on what I've mentioned -- does anyone have any other book ideas that would fit the time period?
