Anyone?
Ever since Braxton has been getting older, I have a lot more time on my hands. I used to sew with that extra time, but since I've made about 7 boy blankets and about 5 girl blankets(I know I'm an overachiever), I decided it was time to move onto a new hobby and expand my skills. Brady gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card so I purchased some classics. The first book I chose to read is "The Scarlet Letter", by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It took me a little while to know where to begin in the book itself because the "notes" and "introduction" were so long. Basically I read a summary of the entire book by accident!!! I now started reading the actual story and I am having a really hard time getting through all the old English. Wow! So if anyone has tips, or anyone has read it, I am all ears. I will read it though! I will!

I have read that book and I loved it. There is also a movie, but rated R. You could probably find it at a clean flicks or something though. The movie is really good. I saw it on TV.
Ok so I read it in high school and let me tell you it is JUICY! Stick thru it...I really loved it so you probably will too.
thanks guys!
Hi Rach! The Scarlet Letter is a hard book to kick things off with. The writing style makes it a tough read, even though the plot is really interesting. Good luck! Maybe you could grab some cliff notes to help you along...
