Wuthering Heights: I Read It.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

by 3 Comments

I’m trying to fill in the gaps of Classics I Never Read, and I had never read any of the Brontës. What better place to start than Wuthering Heights? If nothing else, it would give me an opportunity to care a little more about the new movie, which looks very pretty. But reader: I hated it.

The Favorites is that story. This book has everything. Buckets of blood? Check. Violently gory injuries with ice skates? Check. Skating partners who […]

Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings

by 4 Comments

Is this Harry Styles fan fiction? I kept waiting for someone’s parents to try to sell them to One Direction to cover their gambling debts. Magnolia Parks is a young and beautiful London socialite. BJ Ballentine is the bad boy influencer who broke her heart. They grew up together, were dating, broke up because of his infidelity, and now they’re “best friends”. I totally got suckered into this book by the cover. The pink heels are very cute so I threw this on my holds […]
