Coming top in my estimation of the classics, Jane Eyre is a book that has been my constant companion since I first … Continue reading The Ultimate Literary Heroine: Jane Eyre
Review: Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky
This is a difficult review to write. Diving into Suite Francaise with tremendous anticipation last week, mostly due to my love of fiction set during the events of the First and Second World Wars, I did not give much thought to the resulting review.

World Book Night 2013: What Reading Means to Me
Happy World Book Night everyone! Today is important for so many reasons: It is William Shakespeare's birthday! I have been celebrating by sneaking Shakespeare quotes into my conversations and emails (no one noticed, but it made me excessively happy nonetheless). I will also be paying double homage this evening, celebrating both my love of the … Continue reading World Book Night 2013: What Reading Means to Me
