I've decided my my next book is Villette by the fantastic Charlotte Bronte. Charlotte Bronte is known for writing Jane Eyre, which I believe to be her most famous novel. I've read Jane Eyre and it was a marvelous novel, so I have high hopes for Villette. According to famous author Virginia Woolf, this is her "finest novel". So yeah, I'm super excited.
Weeelllll this week I didn't get much done. I didn't get another book after I finished Rebecca so I was basically doing nothing. It took a while to get Villette because it wasn't at the Parkview library and I had to request it at the public library (thank you my dear mommy for taking care of that for me). But for 20% Time this week I did do something somewhat productive. I read the amazingly, fantastic Harry Potter series, the first book anyway. Harry Potter is a classic on its own, so it counts!
Okey dokey, this week I'll most definitely start Villette and fill you guys on it later. Till then, stay classy people.
This project sounds like a dream come true!!! I love to read and I'm super excited to see what you have to say about what books you enjoyed and which ones you might not have liked as much. Reading is so much fun and it's been proven that people who read more are more likely to score higher on assessments! Looks like you're killing two birds with one stone! I will most definitely be coming back to see what your recent reads have been and see what you're saying! Who knows, we might have to start a book club together!
ReplyDeletebest of luck :)
Honestly, I'm a little jealous of your project. Reading through all those classics sounds like a fantastic and fun way to spend your 20% time, and knowing Mrs. Finco, she's recommending the best books for you to read. ("The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is a favorite of mine!) I'm planning on bookmarking you blog for future reference because it looks like you're really enjoying this experience! Best of luck with the rest of semester and with "Villette."
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed Rebecca, and honestly I wish I had picked something like this for my 20% time project. Keep reading!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I should have done something like this. I never find the time to actually read, nowadays, so it'd be nice to do a project on reading, especially classics. It seems like you're truly enjoying your 20% time, and that's great! Good luck to you.
