HUGE book haul, classic literature and productive days ☁️ a vlog

The main character in that book really reminded me of Jude, and that sort of made me not enjoy the book because it was really reminiscent of things that Holly Black has done before.

Sometimes it baffles me that people trust me enough to go out and buy a 1,000 page classic just because I said it was really good.

It's unbearable for me to put this book down because I'm just having the time of my life reading this book, honestly. Like, I'm obsessed with Dostoevsky's writing style. I love the atmosphere of the story.

I have already read this, but I loved it so, so much. I just wanted a copy for myself because I know I'm going to be rereading this every October.

So, it's kind of like this back-and-forth type of narrative, and even though it's very dry, like it's not a very fun book, but I'm still having quite a lot of fun because it's very interesting and I'm really enjoying the writing style.

If you don't know, The Picture of Dorian Gray is one of my all-time favorite classics.

Even though I do have some of those moments, the overall experience of reading this collection has been very beautiful and very spiritual and emotional and yeah, I'm just appreciating the reading experience at the moment. I'm not trying to force anything and it's been great.
