A magical cottage in the woods

If I only know one thing about myself it is this: I am across the bored on everything. I go from tough girl to dainty lady, from left to right, Modern to classic, hot to cold. If you have seen the picture of the modern house I posted and compared it to this one then you should know what I am talking about. I cannot help it, it is just the way I am. I am not sure if it is an identity crisis or I really do just love all kinds of different things. I love this house though. I feel like any moment fairies will arrive with the tiny blonde child, Aurora, sleeping in their arms. It is magical.

Oh for a book and a shady nook...

To know me is to know that I love books. Not just reading, but books themselves, so I am going to collect them. The first book I have amassed is a collection of poems by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow who is definetly a favorite of mine. It was published in 1947 and belonged to my grandmother. Below is a list of all the books I would like to attain. Come back because I will surely update the list often.

You will see that Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice are the first on the list. They are, without a doubt, two of the most beautiful novels ever written. I would defend the characters, Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet, like I would defend my mother. Not that they would need my help. :)
Jane Eyre (1943 Random House), Pride and Prejudice, The Merchant of Venice, Villette, Romeo and Juliet, Anna Karenina, The Tempest, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hamlet (I am told I act like him ha-ha), Julius Caesar, Wuthering Heights, Moby Dick, A Tale of Two Cities, Macbeth, War and Peace, Antony and Cleopatra, Oliver Twist, The Man in the Iron Mask, Emma, Othello, Sense and Sensibility, The Three Musketeers, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Lady Susan, Don Quixote, Tales, The Iliad, The Odyssey, Vanity Fair
