Sorry for not posting in a while! Life has been hectic, and I just keep pushing this off. It’s sad how things I love that take effort get forgotten. I hope to get back into a routine soon though! Meanwhile, here are the many things I read in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Good Earth<\/strong> by Pearl S. Buck<\/em> 3.5\/5 stars. It was interesting to see how this book turned out; I was not expecting some of these major turns. The story itself followed a farmer who started out humble and happy, but ended up rich and suffering. It’s crazy how much money can affect a person. I’m always wishing to be rich, but this book makes you think, maybe we really wouldn’t be able to turn out any different from those who are already rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/b> Wizard of Earthsea<\/strong> Ursula K. Le Guin<\/em> 3.5\/5 stars. After years of being asked to read this book, I’ve finally completed it! For starters I must say it was a good; not horrible, but not amazing either. One of the reasons it didn’t catch hold of my interest is because I took such a long time to read it through. I think if I read it again, I would enjoy it more. But as for this read, I’m not even very interested in reading the next one. Sorry man. XD<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spin The Dawn <\/strong>by Elizabeth Lim <\/em>3\/5 stars. Honestly, really not a fan of this one. It took me forever to read, I just wasn’t that into it, and it ended on a pretty big cliffhanger. Personally, I don’t want to read the next book. I think that this is another case of “maybe if I read it again.” But I don’t think I ever will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ancient Magus’ Bride (Volume 15-19)<\/strong> Kore Yamazaki<\/em> average of 4.2\/5 stars. AAAAAAAHH. Y’all. I’ve read every single book in this series that’s available. Also, I DISCOVERED THE TV SHOW. Now that I’m watching the TV show, I can see clearly that their were two major story plots. I’m SO EXCITED to read the next story line!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speak: The Graphic Novel<\/strong> by Laurie Halse Anderson<\/em> 5\/5 stars. This book was breathtaking. It was beautiful, depressing, and so very real. I would put it down, and wonder what was making me so depressed. lol I am going to ask my mom to approve the actual book next. Though be warned, this book does go on the heavy side of somethings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Persuasion <\/strong>by Jane Austen<\/em> 3\/5 stars. Not my favorite out of all I’ve read, and I took it to slow so I kept forgetting things. XD But it’s Jane Austen, so it was good! It’s so crazy how it wasn’t until like the second last chapter that the romance solidified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CURRENTLY READING:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Golden Compass <\/strong>by Philip Pullman \u2013 75%<\/p>\n\n\n\n A Tale of Two Cities<\/strong>\u00a0by Charles Dickens \u00a0\u2013 63 pages out of 399<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Count of Monte Cristo<\/strong> by Alexander Dumas \u2013 33 pages out of 1,276<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bible\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 108 pages out of 1,573 Dawnsong <\/strong>by Ruth S.
