October Wrap-Up

October was pretty busy for me. I had midterms, papers, and speeches, and I suspect that November will be even busier because we are in the second half of the semester now. This wasn't my best reading month, But I really enjoyed what I did read. Quality over quantity right?

Reviews: 
My reread of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe
The Sherlockian by Graham Moore
Dracula by Bram Stoker: Review and Brief History
Gris Grimly's Frankenstein

Favorite Book of the Month: I really loved rereading The Bell Jar, but Gris Grimly's Frankenstein was such a beautiful and poignant adaption of the original that it takes the top spot as my favorite book of the month.

  1. Sounds like you had a really fun month (aside from all those midterms and papers!)

    You've made me curious - I might have a search through some of the epigraphs in my own books, because there are some brilliant ones. There's some great ones through Derek Landy's Skulduggery Pleasant series. :D
