To begin, I was not tagged by anybody BUTTTT you guys all know I love books, so lets jump in shall we? 1. An overhyped classic you really didn't like: Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway. I felt that Animal Farm was absolutely boring; however,  I do appreciate Orwell's work and standing up for his political opinions in a time that was hard to do so. As far as The Old Man and The Sea , that was probably the most boring, mundane, and dull book I've ever read in my life. I totally love Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms is actually one of my favorite novels. I just HATED that book.    2. Favorite time period to read about: I utterly love reading novels written or set in Victorian and Romantic times. Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters (Emily, Anne, and Charlotte), Charles Dickens,  Lewis Carroll, George Eliot, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, H.G. Wells, and Oscar Wilde... Just to name a few. From the mid 1700s-1800...

Since I love classics, I decided to do the tag! I hope you enjoy! :)

Thursday: February 26, 2015 If you're a hobby/avid reader than this is the perfect list for you. I've spent most of my life with my nose in a book and traveled the world, multiple in some cases, by a single turn of a page. I love the formulation of language and how words can express so much more than just meanings but also emotions and actions. For some, reading may just be a chore but for others like me, it's a relaxing pass-time. Never fear, the upcoming list is not just classics or "old-fashioned" books (although classics are my favorite), but I also added in plenty of teen/young-adult fiction. So without further adieu...  Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte  Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling Great Expectations by Charles Dickens (may not be everyone's cup of tea but I honestly adore it) The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton  Lily Dale series by Wendy Corsi Staub Promise by Eva Schloss The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold The Chosen by Chaim Potok Vampire Acade...
