MARCH / APRIL RECAP

Each time I am inspired to try writing on this blog again, I am reminded that I do not have the time. I just don't. However, it only takes a few days to recap what I have finished reading and what I am currently reading and still reading. I completed my Renaissance/Reformation self-education study; and possibly by June, I will begin my Revolution I study. I am still rereading through TWEM novels. So here are two months' worth of reading progress:

MARCH READS: 4

Laura Ingalls Wilder: By the Shores of Silver Lake;  The Long Winter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (rereads)

Dante: The Purgatorio ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (unread) This was challenging for me because it is medieval allegorical poetry -- a concoction of Catholicism and mythology. At times, difficult to decipher, and others, intolerable to swallow. But I get it: it's a notable work of its kind, and it has MEDIEVAL VIBES!!!

John Bunyan: The Pilgrim's Progress ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (reread) 

APRIL READS: 3

Christine Miller: The Story of the Renaissance and Reformation ⭐⭐⭐ (reread)

Genevieve Forster: The World of Columbus and Sons ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (unread)

Laura Ingalls Wilder: Little Town on the Prairie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (reread)
