Yes, I am young. But I have begun to plan a trip to a small island in the channels by the name of Guernsey. Why? BECAUSE!!! I am entranced with this book <<< everything about it really. The author herself went to Guernsey and the beauty and history triggered an idea. Thus, some excellent literature was born. I have fallen in love with the description of the island, the characters, the way she writes, the humor, the heart-wrenching stories!!! How could I resist to see the place which had sprung forth such a masterpiece!?! But over all, I have fallen in love with Elizabeth Mckenna. Such a person we all need to be more like. Anyway, just thought I would let you all know. I won't be going to school this fall....I'm going to Guernsey.
Dear Lauren,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post! I couldn't agree with you more... Elizabeth Mckenna is someone we all need to strive to be like. One of my ALL-TIME favorite books too. Wish there were more books out there like it.
Hugs and kisses!
With love,
MOM

Dear Lauren,
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you book your tickets on the aeroplane, or shall I meet you on the mailboat? It's Dawsey and Julia I can't wait to meet. Hope you are well.
Yours sincerely,
