Books upon books.

Hi, this post is going to be about books, if the title didn't spoil it too much.
But first a small note on my absence.
I first wrote a post on this blog 2 months ago to the day, I think with the intention of writing once a week. Weeeeell...Cute story but I'm a full time college student who has a part time job so finding time has been a little interesting and difficult over the last couple of months.
But anyway on to the post.

I love books. Books are literally my life, without books I'm not sure what I would do. I love the concept that there are only 26 letters in the English alphabet and yet so many creative individuals can create stories with such depth, emotion and power with only a variation of the arrangement of the 26 letters.

So due to my passion of books and reading I'm setting myself a goal. I want to read a book a week until basically I need to buy more books. I gained this idea from Carrie Fletcher's Booktober.
The books I'm planning on reading/finishing reading are:
We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves- Karen Joy Fowler.
The Help- Kathryn Stockett.
The Book Thief- Markus Zusak
A Monster Calls- Patrick Ness
Everything to Lose- Andrew Gross
Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen
Great Expectations- Charles Dickens
Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte
Wuthering Heights- Emily Bronte
Frankenstein- Mary Shelley
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass- Lewis Carroll
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Severed Heads, Broken Hearts- Robyn Schneider.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson- John Green & David Levithan
One Day- David Nicholls.

This is a list of 15 books.  So essentially 15 weeks. I will just be reading book after book until I've worked through the list. But assuming I can weekly post on here then I will keep you updated on how far I've gotten through my list. Slowly ''crossing'' them off.


A small update from my last post. I said I was reading The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer, unsurprisingly I have now finished that and to anyone who is in to slightly psychological books with a few edgy plot twisting moments- while also slightly emotional I would highly recommend it. The book was absolutely amazing and so well written. It really captured the struggle of the main character and his experience with loss and mental illnesses. So a definite recommend.

That's all for this week. I will be reading We are all completely beside ourselves. I will be given until next Saturday.
Thanks for reading, I hope you have a nice week or whatever until my next post.

Love, Caitlyn x
