Hi everyone! So today I bring you the books I read in
October:
1. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell- This book took me
WAY too long to read (3months!) I’m not sure why really because I really
enjoyed it, but I had a lot going on and I was reading other books too-that
were a bit more exciting- so it got put on the back burner. I picked it up due
to the BBC miniseries which I adore and am actually watching right now; I have
learned that it isn’t a very faithful adaptation but I love them both so much!
I gave North and South 4 stars J
2. Much ado about Nothing by William Shakespeare- This was
my first experience of an eBook, and I like them. They are very practical and
easy to read but I must admit I much prefer a physical book. I read this play
for the first time when I studied it in year 9 (I think, it may have been yr 8)
which I enjoyed but sometimes I think you can over analyse a book so it was
nice to just read it. I gave Much ado 3 stars J
3. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell- This book has had so much hype
on the interwebs, and rightly so I say. I LOVED this book and this was my
favourite read this month without a doubt. It was just so light and
heart-warming. It was exactly what I was in the mood for and I’m planning to
post a review soon. I gave Fangirl 5 stars J
4. The Legend of the Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving- I
got this story a long time ago because my favourite trilogy- The Hollow by
Jessica Verday- is based on it. The writing style is a little hard to get into
as it is quite wordy and the descriptions were long but I did enjoy it. I also
finished this on Halloween which was fitting because it got very tense and
spooky at times! I gave Sleepy Hollow 3 stars also J
I don’t have a very set list for what I am reading this month, but currently I’m on The Iron King by Julie
