Book #11: Jane Eyre

By Charlotte Bronte. Again, this is a book I read for school. Which sort of feels like cheating, but when I take into account that I read it over the course of two days, it seems like a much more significant read. I love this book a great deal, and it being my second time reading the dang thing, I understood it much better this time. There's something amazing about old-fashioned writing that grabs my attention and whisks me away into the story. I get to make a soundtrack for this book for school, and I'm ridiculously excited. Which is, of course, incredibly nerdy. I got hooked on Sarah McLachlan's music this fall, and the novel seems to mirror lots of themes in her music-- or is it vice-versa?

Book #10: Beautiful Creatures

By Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Mmmm. This book was made up of amazing, delicious words put together in just the right way. Hauntingly southern and entrancingly mysterious, Beautiful Creatures was one of those captivating books that made me unable to be able to convince myself to turn off my light at a reasonable hour. Okay, that happens to me fairly often, but still, the book was amazing. Go forth and read it, for goodness sakes!

Book #9: The Secret of Rover

By Rachel Wildavsky. I read this book about 3 weeks ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot was quite unique-- to say the least--and the sibling relationships were well developed and incredibly realistic. Bonuses: Hermits that live on mountains, traveling in the backs of trucks, and much much more!

Goodness Gracious
