Reading List....BLOGMAS DAY 7

As an aspiring writer I have a reputation to uphold concerning my reading. I do it all the time, usually - while eating, while doing my makeup, while doing math homework (needless to say, that prolonged the task a little). But moving here, I couldn't take a lot of books and the ones I did take were kinda random....


Arcadia Awakens

This is a teenage fantasy romance that I got at an age where it was actually appropriate for me to read, don't worry. It starts off as a nice mafia love story in Sicily and turns into a questionable tale of dynasties turning into reptiles and stuff. I just happened to read it the night before moving and grabbed it in the morning because I was unprepared as ever.

Wuthering Heights

To compensate, the next one I picked up from my shelf back home got to be Emily Bronte's story about two star-crossed lovers on the moor who sabotage their every chance on happiness until they're both dead. It's a real mood enhancer. But honestly, the first time I read it, I couldn't stand any of the characters, and the third time around they're still screwed up, but the story gets you more and more (or moor - oh my God I'm sorry).

Anne of Green Gables

I mentioned before that I used to read this series when I was about 14, and I just started over on the train ride this morning, and it is absolutely as endearing as I remember, if not more so. I think this will tap on my spin for beautiful phrasing again, because I just love books that are not only a great story, but also written carefully, like language is a craft that can be formed out to be pretty. Also, this is a children's book in some ways, but one of those that can be appreciated even more when you're older, and those are the best ones.

Hope you're reading something special.


Love,
