Nothing like curling up with a good book in cooler weather, is there? Speaking of cooler weather, our leaves have been falling for weeks as well, but they are more vivid this year.

Reading your post made me realize that I need to reread them, because I have forgotten so many of them. I wonder if loving Poe makes me sick and strange too.lol Just before Halloween would be perfect Poe reading time.<br />Hugs,<br />JuneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283259375743586344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994865625453081685.post-7684599118408039812009-09-23T09:52:27.205-04:002009-09-23T09:52:27.205-04:00h-m-m-m I bet he would have an interesting biograp...h-m-m-m I bet he would have an interesting biography.

Thanks for coming to visit... :-) ...Hi Anne.....<br /><br />Thanks for coming to visit... :-) And, glad to see you've returned to blogerville!....Reading really is good fun, isn't it? I never used to read. I couldn't concentrate...I knew there were things that needed to be done and I always felt to guilty to spend time "doing nothing"....yeah, well, the reading bug hit and.....you know the story! My Mum could recite the entire poem; The Raven! Even just before she passed away. We'd all run and say "nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooo" when she'd start. We'd all heard it a million times. I haven't read many classics either....I think I'll get on that. I read The Girl of the Limberlost when I was a kid...my Mum had to pay me to read it...oh how I hated to read....if you can find it, it's a wonderful book. Jean Stratton Porter also wrote Freckles. I have both old editions.<br /><br />The roses were hung when they were really fresh. You can't wait too long. I don't know if it was the type of rose or what, but they did dry beautifully. Just wrap a bit of twine around them and hang them upside down. Hopefully your next ones will turn out nicely. These dried darker than most. I love them....and of course, they "belonged" to my Mum...<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Spencer{Bellamere Cottage}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17808685184476519297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994865625453081685.post-25882980061318889292009-09-23T00:22:41.537-04:002009-09-23T00:22:41.537-04:00Yep!

Sounds like you've been havin...Hey there girl! <br />Sounds like you've been having a fun time reading..... and how wonderful that you've created a cozy spot of your own too! I wish I had a parlor (reading room) for "me". I am not a real big reader, but as I have gotten older, I do enjoy reading alot more now, than when I was in school. When I was in school and as a child, I had a hard time comprehending what I was reading. It seemed as if it was just words to me. I wonder what was wrong with me?! No attention span back then I guess. I really enjoy reading now, guess it helps when I can comprehend it right?! Anyway, I definately remember studying about Edgar Allen Poe in English in school, and I do remember his work being strange to me, and him being strange, and I remember feeling sorry for him....maybe these memories are not accurate...but anyway, I don't remember his stories at all...The Raven is ringing a bell a little bit. You've got my curiosity peeked now...I will have to try to find some of his stories and read them. I found a book in my 12 yr old sons room, (don't even know where he got it from) but it's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving....I have never read that...I've only seen the movie, so I've got it in the living room, sitting on the coffee table...I'm gonna dive in soon, when I get the chance! It'll be perfect fun reading with October right around the corner!It's got a fun and scary front cover on the book too! LOL! <br />Happy Reading to you! <br />Big Hugs,<br />QueenieQueenie's Vintage Findshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00721900066940447320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994865625453081685.post-31385071171465113192009-09-22T07:46:13.166-04:002009-09-22T07:46:13.166-04:00Poe is a great author for this time of year.

Losing yourself in a book is a wonderful way to get lost!<br />Edgar Allen Poe was required reading for me in my Freshman year of high school, I know every one of those short stories you talked about, and I loved them! And I was glad I was reading them in a classroom with forty-two other girls and not alone somewhere!<br />All great books you have on your list and now I'm getting the bug too! I'll have to go book shopping!<br /><br />By the way, I loved your "if my husband wants to root for the loser Lions.."! It made me laugh out loud!<br /><br />Enjoy your reading!<br />All the best,<br />EileenEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3994865625453081685.post-9860481174427281132009-09-21T20:41:56.470-04:002009-09-21T20:41:56.470-04:00Glad it was only reading that kept you from your b...Glad it was only reading that kept you from your blog.
