Joan of Arc | 
I got this book from a flea market back in 2016, finally got around to reading it. Almost halfway through the book, Joan hasn‘t saved France yet. But it‘s a really good read so far. Very promising!

pickI borrowed this book from my mom and stepdad, I did enjoy this book. I have an interest in Joan of Arc. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
pickWords can't express how deeply this book touches the hearts of those who read it. There is a beauty, a greatness that you experience. I am an awe of Joan of Arc, Mark Twain really let her greatness shine through. Truly remarkable, truly one of the best.
God can truly use anyone, big or little. His power is what does the real fighting, people are merely vessels He uses. You are not too young or too old, too small or too large, you can be used to achieve great things.
Because When God fights it is but small matter whether the hand that bears His sword is big or little.
But those weak moments passed; they will not come again. I am enlisted, I will not turn back, God helping me...
pickMy uncle gave this to me as a gift and I adore this book. I love Mark Twain and I adore this historic icon! This book was truly a good read and an amazing representation of her life!
Stopped in to the Second Shelf while in London. A Bookstore focusing on primarily rare books written by women.
so-so"...she was such a vision of young bloom and beauty and grace..." Fawning phrases such as this one are throughout this historical fiction as told by an (fictional?) assistant to Joan of Arc. Mark Twain admired Joan so much and it shows, but it was just too gushing for me. Read this for Letter T of #LitsyAtoZ

I think tonight is my only chance this weekend to do #LitsyPartyofOne! Starting this one, under my warm lap quilt because the weather has been so fall-like. Tomorrow hubby arrives from being away for three weeks. Sunday we take stuff up to my daughter who had to take the train to get to school. Back Tuesday. Hope I can get into this; it's my T for #LitsyAtoZ.
These are some of the things we picked up at the gift shop of the Mark Twain home/museum in Hartford, CT. Tagged book is for myself. The Mark Twain on Travel book and one of the bookmarks is for my dad's upcoming birthday. My younger son wanted the author playing cards 😊. Hope to visit The Harriet Beecher Stowe home next time. Both could be done in the same day w/planning -- they're adjacent to each other.
How did I not know of this book?! Especially that Twain considered it his best work?! Very excited to dive into it.
pickIt's a 10 star book in a 5 star world!
