Juliet's Answer

I snagged this one recently through Book Outlet, but have not read it yet...

When a Canadian teacher who teaches Shakespeare finds himself spurned by love, he decides to make a visit to Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet. There, he meets up with those who answer the thousands of letters sent to Juliet from lovelorn people around the world.

This book sounds wonderful! #LoveFool #LilithJuly

so-so

I loved the travelogue and liked the parts about Glenn‘s teaching, but wasn‘t feeling the romance. I think it would make a great movie.

Our house guests are back home in Ireland and today is the last day of a super long work week. I am so looking forward to a day off and some time to read.

This non-fiction title is part love story, part travelogue. It reads like fiction and I could not put it down. I especially loved learning about Romeo and Juliet as I did not study it in high school. Honestly, I wish I had had a teacher like Glenn back then as I might have actually enjoyed English class and Shakespeare!

For #bestofmarch in #marchintoreading @RealLifeReading
I didn't read as much as I wanted to this month, but since I did start writing my own novel, I decided to forgive my lower reading numbers.
Regardless, the books I did read were awesome. Highly recommend them all. They might actually be my 3 favourite books I have read in quite a while.

booksandsympathy I loved The Night Circus. I wanted to run away and join it. 7y

Oh wow. I loved this. Of course, as a Canadian High School English Teacher / Shakespeare nerd, how could I not?
Lovely and poignant and sincere... one of my new favorite books.
