I'm going to be honest, this week I didn't get as much reading done as I thought I would. However this was not by choice. I blame the teachers who chose to assign a lot of homework this whole week as well as other graded assignments that required studying until like one in the morning every night. So all I could do was read during guided study Monday and also during 20% Time Friday.
I'm a little over halfway through now in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and things have picked up quite a bit. SPOILER ALERT. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS DO NOT READ ON UNTIL I SAY SO.
The notorious Mr. Hyde is now wanted for the murder of a representative of Parliament. Being a wanted man, he can't exactly take a stroll out on the street to buy fresh bread. Meanwhile, the good Dr. Jekyll seems to be in a depreciated state, seeing as how his heir is wanted for murder. His dear friend Mr. Utterson is quite concerned and does what any other good friend would do: follow the butler to Jekyll's house and break down the door to his private laboratory and demand answers. Now that's a true friend. Unfortunately, Mr. Hyde seems to be up to his usual shenanigans, this time resulting in his own death. Now what is Mr. Hyde doing lying dead in Dr. Jekyll's private lab? Excellent question, I'll let you guys know when I find out.
YOU CAN CONTINUE READING NOW.
So this week I'll most likely finish Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and start my next book, Lady Susan by Jane Austen. Next week I'll let you know what it's about and being a Jane Austen novel, there's bound to be some momma drama (which I'm actually excited about). And hopefully I'll get a little more reading time if my teachers feel like being nice.
