And perhaps it's time for a reread of Emma and Company which you introduced to me quite some time ago!Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024018.post-29017811483989585492013-08-03T06:11:05.302-04:002013-08-03T06:11:05.302-04:00Rosemary--oh yes!

I didn't add it to this list, though, because the family pretty much gets settled-in at the beginning and then the story goes off in different directions, not really in ones about fixing up the house. But again, I *love* those books!<br /><br />Yellow House Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894174653208070320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024018.post-15714735143457004022013-08-02T23:01:50.284-04:002013-08-02T23:01:50.284-04:00Thank you so much Debra!

I already looked up Gone Away Lake and see she wrote a book I have and have enjoyed reading, Thimble Summer. I think I will check at the local libraries first. But love getting books from Abebooks.com thanks for all the ideas!

You probably already know that Elizabeth Enright wrote another book called The Four-Story Mistake which centers around a quirky house in the country.

I've had Pilgrim's Inn recommended to me before--guess it's about time that I read it! :) Thanks for commenting....

Books that center around place are my favorites, and when I think about writing fiction (one day) a house is at the center of all my ideas! Two other home-themed books i love are Pilgrim's Inn by Elizabeth Goudge and The Enchanted Barn by Grace Livingston Hill. Have you read those?Stephanie Stevenshttp://www.stephanielynnstevens.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024018.post-92216403302756782992013-08-02T13:05:38.857-04:002013-08-02T13:05:38.857-04:00Clarice-- Yes!

And really, seldom has a book inspired me so much after every single page that I just can't sit there anymore, but rather, I must jump up and be creative! Which makes it a very special book, indeed! :) Blessings, DebraDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894174653208070320noreply@blogger.com
