Book Challenge Day 14 and 15

Day 14 – Favorite book of your favorite writer My favourite book by Jane Austen is, as I said before Pride and Prejudice. There’s just something about Lizzie I have always responded to, for reasons I can’t truly explain. She is who she is, and she isn’t going to apologize for that. Not to her… Continue reading

Day 13 – Your favorite writer

Day 13 – Your favorite writer I don’t have just one. I really don’t. In terms of the classics, C.S Lewis, Jane Austen, J.R.R Tolkien and LM Montgomery reign supreme. I just love the detail and nuances of each of these authors. C.S. Lewis turned me onto fantasy fiction, Jane Austen wrote one of my… Continue reading

Book Challenge Day 12

Day 12 – A book you used to love but don’t anymore That book is easy and makes me sad. Blood Secrets by Karen E Taylor. I loved this book when I was younger, it felt so risqué and naughty when I was reading it. I was too young to realize how problematic the relationship in… Continue reading

Book Challenge Day 11

Day 11 – A book you hated I might very well get in a lot of trouble for this. Because this is a book which quite a few people actually enjoyed but I did not. That book is The Sun Also Rises. Maybe I’m just not a Hemingway fan, but there’s also something that was lacking… Continue reading

Book Challenge Day 10

Day 10 – Favorite classic book Favourite classic book?! That would demand that I am actually one who can figure out what makes classical literature classic and that is a true problem. Just like I was once told that I didn’t read literature because Stephen King was not literature. And really, what the hell does… Continue reading

Book Challenge Day 9

Day 09 – A book you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving This one section actually bought to mind two books in the same “genre” if you will. Both of which made me realize how close minded I can actually be, and I am forever grateful to one of my friends and my… Continue reading

Book Challenge Day 8

Day 08 – Most overrated book I really didn’t want to answer this question because I believe that if a book gives you pleasure, and makes you feel happy that no one else should have anything to do with it. That is why this post is not tagged with the title of either of the two books that… Continue reading

Day 07 – Most underrated book This one might be one of those ones that I’m just completely missing the point.

Review: The Girl in the Road

This wasn’t a book I was honestly sure I would like, because it’s not something that’s typically within my comfort zone. When it comes to dystopian novels I will admit I usually reach for a book that has a bit more of a familiar setting to me than the one found here in The Girl… Continue reading
