Classics Booktag

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...
