The Book Challenge.

"Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it."- William Faulkner (1897-1962)

Hello there!

As a Literature Student you would probably expect my room to be flooding over with books and a distaste for reading anything other than classics.  On the plus side,  I still have that passion to read even if my room is starting to resemble a second-hand bookshop.  Although I do have 5 or 6 books a week to get through for my classes, I still find time to read anything I can get my nose into.

Whilst my friends are happy to blow their loan on booze, shoes and other pretty things, I have a serious problem with buying books.  Every time I am in a bookshop I end up buying a book or 3.  EVERY...TIME!  Well anyway I'm rambling.  I have noticed that I have a few books (non-uni related) that I need to get my nose into, and so I have decided to set myself a challenge.

The Challenge: Finish the small pile of books that I have been meaning to read in 4 months before I am allowed to buy more.

I have allowed myself 4 months to get through the books that have been on my bookshelf for a very long time before buying any more books. Then that splurge in Waterstones will feel ever so wonderful. 

 The books are as follows:

1. Joseph Conrad- Heart of Darkness
2. Philippa Gregory- The White Queen
3. Charlotte Bronte- Shirley
4. Judy Bloom- Tiger Eyes
5. Suzanne Collins- The Hunger Games
6. Veronica Roth- Divergent
7. Emma Donoghue- Room
8. Julia Williams- Last Christmas
9. Trisha Ashley- Twelve Days of Christmas
10. Trisha Ashley- A Winters Tale

Post a comment if you have any goals yourself and what they are :)
