An Obsession with Flappers

Destiny    9:04 PM    No comments
I don't know when I exactly became obsessed with the Flappers and the Roaring Twenties. All I know is I read two books that were set in the Twenties and it went from there. Now I'm rapidly consuming information about this period in American history and one of the books I've read on that journey is Flapper...

In The Past Week...

Destiny    9:35 PM    No comments
I finished my eleventh book and my first classic of the new year. I chose Persuasion by Jane Austen as my book for January. I initially took reading it slower than I usually do. I usually read classics slower than I do contemporary books because of the language but this doesn't bother me as much as it used to. But on to the story. I had originally watched the 1995 adaptation and fell in love with...

I had been seeing it everywhere and then I saw that one of my friends had read it and she spoke highly of it, so I decided why not give it a go?The first thing that I noticed was that it was hilarious.

Yass! I have read my ninth book for the month of January! Now I'm clear to spend my time reading Persuasion. I loved the 1995 movie and I'm hoping I love the book. I usually love the books more, but I can appreciate a good adaptation. Here are my thoughts on another Clique novella. Dylan by Lisi...

I come armed with two reviews of the young adult variety. I'm eight books down for my ten book a month challenge. The ninth book has yet to be decided, but the tenth book which I have saved for the last week of January will be one of my classics for the year. I've chosen Persuasion as I simply fell...

And Only To Deceive Review

Destiny    1:45 PM    No comments
Six books down and four to go for the month of January. I've made it a goal to read 10 books a month including a classic of my choice. And Only Deceive is my sixth book. When I first started reading the book, it took me awhile to get into it. Usually I intend to read a full 100 pages, but I only...

Several Reviews and an Explanation

Destiny    9:27 AM    No comments
On the day after my last post here, my internet was turned off. It's a long story, but they claimed we didn't pay them. So for almost two weeks I was without internet. I almost went insane. But what did I do with the time, you ask? I read of course. I think I finished eight books. I also wrote up my thoughts on the books. I have a new laptop (yay!) that I love and I'm hoping to be posting more regularly...
