Blog iVersary and Book Binges

8 Jul

1 Week old!

I’d be lying if I said that I never thought I’d have a blog this long. But it would be painfully truthful I I said that I expected to have lost hope completely in my blog after 3 days. So to be celebrating a week is a very happy thing! (No cake though…)

Anyway, on a completely different note, as you may be able to tell from the title, I went on a book buying spree yesterday.  All the books are for school, (except the Poe, that’s for fun), and 2 of them I’ve already read but had no copy. Penguin have recently started a new range of editions, called Penguin English Classics. And they have the most beautiful covers ever.  But they don’t have introductions and I am using them for school so…I only got 2. Honestly, when I got home with them I just took them out and stared for about 5 minutes.  Waterstones have been bombarding me with emails about them; what was I meant to do? Resist?

I look forward to reading those I haven’t already read, and hopefully I’ll post reviews once I’m done!
