This is an actual journal entry. Recently, most of my journal entries have mainly been the thirty day challenge. (I am actually a few days ahead now. For some reason I can find time to write them, but not to post them. Go figure.) Before I write the challenge, I typically write a page or less of anything somewhat interesting that happened that day or what I am feeling at the moment. It is extremely random and somewhat confusing for anyone who cannot crawl into my mind and see what is going on. But hey, it's me

2~13~2011Return to Cranford was amazing! Not quite as good as the first, but I still give it four stars. You know, I should probably actually read some of the works by Elizabeth Gaskell. I have absolutely loved every single movie adaptation of her novels. Cranford for one, Wives and Daughters, and North & South, (my favorite!) I looked her up at the library but I could only find a few of her most popular novels. That is over two districts! I guess I wasn't expecting there to be too many because Elizabeth Gaskell doesn't seem to be as well known as other Victorian authors, but when I looked up Dickens, I was surprised there was so little of him. I guess I just thought there would be more people checking out the classics.
Chirp, chirp, chirp. The crickets are so LOUD. I just wish Lotus would eat them already

I loved the two Cranford productions as well! They were created using Gaskell's novel and her novella's: Mr. Harrison's Confessions, My Lady Ludlow, and The Moorland Cottage as well as her essay The Last Generation in England.
If you have a device that can read ebooks, GirleBooks has a collection of Gaskell's five major novels and her biography of Charlotte Bronte for free download.
