November Reading Wrap Up

so this was fantastic it was a joy to read maybe you want to reread all of dickens's novels immediately which is exactly what you want and work with literary criticism to do but it was also really accessible and just fantastic

i also just really enjoyed the way that roxane gay writes i think she has a really wonderful writing style where i kind of feel like i could listen to her talk about any topic and i would find it really interesting and compelling

this is like maybe my third favorite thomas hardy after judy obscure and far from the madden crowd

i really enjoyed what she had to say about the way diana mccraig used his disability in john halifax gentlemen and olive two books i really love

this is like maybe my third favorite thomas hardy after judy obscure and far from the madden crowd

it's really good fun it's a really interesting concept and i think it's done quite well

i would highly recommend natives i feel like it's one of those books that just like everyone in the uk should be made to read because it is very insightful and very important

i really enjoyed what she had to say about the way diana mccraig used his disability in john halifax gentlemen and olive two books i really love

this is a really interesting history book which i thoroughly enjoyed there are so many interesting details in this book and it's so well written and so well researched

this was a fantastic work of literary criticism which was just amazing this was a much more academic than john mullen's book but actually i haven't read that much academic literary criticism since university and this book reminded me why i love it because it's just fantastic and so in-depth and so detailed and so like intricate and thought-provoking

one of the things i really loved about this poetry collection is that it's all poems kind of written throughout liv's life and they're like in chronological order so you get to see her work like develop and change and grow as the collection of poetry goes on which i really enjoyed and there were some real gems in here some poems that i really enjoyed

this was a really great read it was very fun very suspenseful and really gripping and really entertaining i also really enjoyed like all the survivalist details of it and i thought the way like the tension ramps up throughout was really good

it is really fun very delightful a bit silly but in like the most lovely way and it is of course all about like the love of books and the love of reading but also it is a book about grief and it does look quite powerfully at this boy's grief for his grandfather and also for like what his grandfather stood for in terms of like books and his relationship to books

they're a little bit gothic a little bit gruesome and exceptionally fun i just thoroughly enjoyed these stories my favorite two stories were the house that was filled with ghosts and the woman and the glass mountain and i also really enjoyed the illustrations throughout which are really stunning as well

i think the woodland does is such a wonderful atmospheric fantastic book with like amazing characters and such like interesting psychological studies and even though the ending sort of frustrates me i also think it's like really interesting and complex and there's certainly like wonderful powerful moments in it

what i really love about this book what i loved about john mullen's book what matters in jane austen too is how he looks at charles dickens's work as a whole rather than taking it book by book he takes a theme and then explores it through like all of charles dickens's novels and looks at them as one big body of work which i just absolutely love
