Yes, I'm sur...Joy - thanks for your comment! :)<br />Yes, I'm sure you would enjoy 'Between Shades of Gray.' I've also just read 'I am David' which is another great book set during the World War era. It's really children's literature too! I'm glad to hear others (like yourself!) enjoy books meant for younger readers though. Personally, I probably enjoy them most! I started reading 'The Secret Garden' once, a very long time ago, but I never finished it. Upon looking it up again now, I think I would enjoy it!<br />My violin playing is going alright - a little slowly at the moment, because I'm in that in-between-exams stage. Piano is taking precedence. Yes, I remember playing 'Theme' from Schindler's List several years ago! I enjoyed it, and it's still one of my favourites. The emotional content allows for it to be played with a lot of expression... Have you watched (or read) Schindler's List?<br /><br />Thanks again for commenting & God bless you too!<br /><br />Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543574650970283141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-82742661046245382632015-09-09T23:01:25.868+10:002015-09-09T23:01:25.868+10:00Hi Jessica,
I really love this post! You write wi...Hi Jessica,<br /><br />I really love this post! You write with such a simple, lyrical way which I really love :). Winter is my favourite season in Australia, weather wise, but I do love Spring! Here in Queensland likewise the weather has been getting warmer, and spring is in the air, though at nights it is still a bit chilly :D. I love your photography of the blossoms; so beautiful!<br /><br />I'd love to read "Between Shades of Grey" by and by, as your review really encouraged me that it would be a book I'd enjoy - historical fiction set in the World War era is one of my favourite time settings to read about! Oh, I really love "Treasures of the Snow" and "Seven Little Australians" as well - I don't think you're the only one who reads children's classic literature! Last month I finished reading "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett which was a really lovely read and quite suited to the Spring weather.<br /><br />That's exciting that you've started piano lessons. I sometimes wish I could play the piano and didn't give it up when I was little. . . it's such a beautiful instrument! How's your violin playing going? I'm currently learning some new pieces for my new grade, and my current favourite is "Theme" from Schindler's List by John Williams. . . <br />God bless!<br />Joy Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-41923564939955041052015-09-07T09:31:40.098+10:002015-09-07T09:31:40.098+10:00Thanks so much for your kind comment, Noor, and fo...Thanks so much for your kind comment, Noor, and for following as well. :) <br />Let me go and check out your blog now!

It was very encouraging. Secondly, enjoy your spring! I really enjoyed looking at these pictures. Fall/winter is my favorite season (hooray for September in the US!) but there is something special about the new life spring brings to us. Enjoy the bright, sunny days as they slowly slither into your life!<br /><br />http://aroseisinbloom.blogspot.com/Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369442856651404844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-73325080819366169192015-09-02T20:58:08.791+10:002015-09-02T20:58:08.791+10:00Yes, well I guess I like old-fashioned stories.

I never could get into it. <br />Well, it feels like summer here already. I know the days will get heaps hotter still, but it's already hot. We completely skipped spring which is kind of sad. Yes, the music camp was a huge part of my winter, too. It was great. <br />Congrats on finishing your Creative Writing course! The photos are great, too. <br />I know I haven't written to you for ages, but I'm planning to soon. I have finished school for ever (except the designing course) and my parents are away for the week. I'll tell you more in an email... <br />(Sorry for such a long comment.)anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653526961144888015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-25855039716441692972015-09-02T16:13:17.484+10:002015-09-02T16:13:17.484+10:00Thanks for your kind words, Arushee.
