Oh, how I needed this Journal over the holidays. I had so many thoughts to put into words, but didn't want to use loose paper. {oh, I'm sorry Dona. You should have told me - I would have certainly returned it!} So all I really did was read and babysit. I read a wonderful novel that I have read already. It is called Brief Flower. It impressed me so in seventh grade and now again in tenth. The author is Dorothy Smith.
I am now reading The New Moon and the Old by Dodie Smith. She wrote a different book called I Capture the Castle that reminds me of Brief Flower very much. I was wondering if Dorothy Smith and Dodie Smith may be the same person because of the alikeness in writing style. {You should continue your good reading habits} I have read about ten books about England since Christmas. I want to visit it as soon as I can. {good} I plan on marrying an Englishman - rich of course. {$ Why not?! (smile)} I think I will marry for money.
Note:
I had forgotten all about Brief Flower, but I sort of remember reading it. I remember nothing about the book though. It is out of print now, but I just ordered it from Alibris. I was confused again about the authors, looking up Brief Flower by Dodie Smith got no results.
I did become enchanted with the idea of England, something that would drive me to do out of character things the next year when I had a chance to go to England and did. I almost did marry an Englishman.
