another quote

So I’ve been reading, as I’ve said before. I’m really enjoying the Zion Covenant Series by Brody & Brock Thoene. However, I have to “order” the books from the library, as they are not all at the same library.
[sidenote: I remember when I was little we moved to Maine. I was not a happy camper. I didn’t want to leave my woods and friends in Vermont. When we got to Maine, we lived in town (something we hadn’t done for a few years in Vermont). That was another blow. However, the library was within walking distance (it wasn’t a huge town anyway). The first time I went there, I was mesmerized. There, on the shelves, just at my eye level, were TWO rows each of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books!!! I could start at the beginning and read them all!! That seemed so perfect to me. I’ve always liked to start at the beginning of a series and read it through.]
So, while I am waiting for the next book in the series (which, I found out contains 9 books [I thought there were only six], and two other series that play off the characters in this series), I am reading Mansfield Park by J. Austen. Jeff and I watched the movie a couple weeks ago. It didn’t seem to be all that I remembered. But, I haven’t read Mansfield Park since I was 16 (?). So I am reading it again. 🙂
Whew. all that to post a quote!! (Kamali is probably laughing at me)
Here’s the quote ~

“… I consider that it is (marriage), of all transactions, the one in which people expect most from others, and are least honest themselves.” ~ Mary Crawford, Mansfield Park
