I have another confession to make...One of the reasons why I had to put myself on a budget this year is because I spent too much money downloading books onto my Nook. Seriously, when there is a good Victorian romance...umm erotic...I guess smutty book I can't resist. A lot of them are like $2.99 or $3.99 so I just cannot help myself from clicking "Confirm" purchase. I do throw in the occasional "Everyone is reading it" book like Eat Pray Love & The Help, which I loved both, but then suffered through Water for Elephants which AHHHHH!!!! couldn't even get through the movie. I'm an avid reader and I just love the promise of a new book.
My list up there is a combo of books everyone is reading, some books I read in high school that I want to re-read, future book club book, and then I had to still throw in some romance/smut (Illicit & Entwined With You) too. The blog, Harley & Jane, listed Cinderella Ate your Daughter as their book club book and I think I'm going to read that one first. It's an analysis of what the girlie girl culture is doing to young girls. I'm not a girlie girl even though I watched EVERY Disney movie when I was younger...I wonder how come? It should be interesting nonetheless. Also, I'm excited to re-read Wuthering Heights & The Great Gatsby. I wonder how different the experience will be when I don't have to butcher it by writing a paper and dwell on every key quote. I can just enjoy it or not & forget about getting a good grade!The Night Circus, The Paris Wife, & Gone Girl I've heard good and bad about each so I'm excited to see what my take on it will be.
Have you Read any of the Above Books?
Are there any other titles that I just HAVE to read? =)
I'd love to hear!
I just finished the Night Circus and I'm currently reading 11/22/63! Gone Girl is going to be up soon too.
ReplyDeletei'm not a reader - it's rare that i ever finish a book - sadly
ReplyDeleteMy friend is reading The Paris Wife right now and I can not wait to start as well. Have a lovely day, sweetie.
ReplyDeletehalf of your list is on my list.. just don't know when i'll be able to get to them. happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI've only read Wuthering Heights and The Great Gatsby out of the ones you have listed. I would love to re-read them as well if I can ever find the time. Reading is one of life's little pleasures isn't it :)

Haha, I spent way too much on books as well. Though actual books, so they also take up all my space;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I read the Night Circus and loved it. The only thing I didn't really feel was the chemisty between the couple. It was supposed to be this epic love connection that could overcome any obstacle, yet it stayed kinda flat for me. Either way, the story was wonderful<3 Hope you'll enjoy!

I've always wanted to read Wuthering Heights!! Note to self.

ReplyDeleteI hated Wuthering Heights, I actually found it very depressing.
Cinderella Ate my Daughter sounds so interesting! I definitely want to check that out. I recently read Just One Day by Gayle Forman and thought it was an amazing read.
