On your mark , get set , Read !

Hi,
So after a careful examination of my bookshelves and local library, here is what I want to read over the summer. My goal is to finish all these and write reviews on at least three before August 31st.

   
Number 1#



And the sequel
Number 2#

These books are by a Christian author and are about the spiritual battles that we can't see going on around us. My older brother and mom both highly recommended them to me so I'm finally going to read them.

By Louisa M. Alcott

Though I have read this one before I've decided to read it again since I can't remember the plot anymore. Louisa May Alcott is one of my favorite authors and unfortunately I've read most of her novels already so time for rereads. :)

By L.M. Montgomery
Some might call it a child's story but I call it rest for the mind



I have something to admit. I am a big LOTR fan  and I have never read the books. Yes, it really is awful. My dad read the Hobbit to my family when I was seven but I found it boring. (Hangs head in shame) Then I got to watch the LOTR movies when I got older and loved them. But I have never read all the books. So this summer shall be the summer I remedy that. 






And last but not least a good Dickens novel to finish it off. 
So what do you plan to read this summer?

Time Changer Review

Yay! Finally a review.
While shopping at a local book buster I came across this movie. I had briefly heard about it before and the price was right so I bought it. It was well worth it. The movie "Time Changer" was a real thought provoker.
Movie Cover
 Here is a brief summary taken from http://www.christianmovies.com/time-changer-dvd/

   The year is 1890 and Bible Professor Russell Carlisle has written a new manuscript. His book is about to receive an unanimous endorsement from the board members at Grace Bible Seminary until his colleague, Dr. Norris Anderson, has a "difficulty with something." Dr. Anderson believes what Carlisle has written could greatly affect future generations. Using a secret time machine, Anderson sends Carlisle over 100 years into the future, offering him a glimpse of where his beliefs will lead.

 The difficulty Dr. Anderson has with Dr. Carlisle's book is that Dr. Carlisle's believes you can separate the morals of Christ. Doesn't sound like a big issue to you? That is what Dr. Carlisle thinks which is why Dr. Anderson sends him to the future. 
Dr. Norris Anderson
                    Dr. Anderson takes a stand against his colleagues and holds his ground for something he believes in.
Dr. Russell Carlisle


 This movie had some beautiful costumes and the ending will leave you thinking. Dr. Carlisle is a great character and watching him enter our world now shows us just how far we have gone from Godly standards. All in all this movie is one I can give 5 stars without any doubt.

 Without the authority of Christ, mankind is merely left to compare ideas. A morality becomes a matter of opinion. One person says it is wrong to steal, the next person says it is not. No standard is set.                Dr. Norris Anderson

Hello Fellow Bloggers

Hello Everyone in the World of Blogging,
As this is my first attempt at any type of blog please bear with me and my mistakes. Welcome. I hope you'll find lots of interesting tidbits on my blog. Now that my introductory speech is through we can get on to the fun stuff. I'm the oldest girl in a family with seven children. The funny things those children do will sneak themselves on here somehow I'm sure. I named this blog Loving Literature because I truly do love literature but I must warn you. I am extremely devoted to some books and I loathe others entirely. Reviews shall come later with reasons for loathing. I love watching and reading period dramas. I love laughing with my sister and tickling my little brothers. I must admit that I dislike tea (yes you may gasp) but a good book and chocolate are my idea of a marvelous time. Louisa May Alcott is my favorite author closely followed by L.M. Montgomery. (Isn't it interesting both their initials start with L.M.) This blog will probably have movie reviews and anything I find interesting here too. Well I must run for I've got a cake in the oven. Till next time
