Top 5 Wednesday: Goals of 2017

-
Top 5 Wednesday: Goals My first goal is to become a more critical reader.  I’m a pretty opened minded reader, though I have genre’s I read more than others and there are certain books I just won’t read, but mostly its hard for me to find fault in the books I read.  I’m sure there are faults and I just hate to criticize, but I am going to become a reviewer in a friend’s magazine, so I feel I need to learn to criticize and accept criticism of the books I like. My next goal is not let others influence my opinions. This doesn’t just apply to books, but to a lot of things.  I am a very sensitive and get easily offended. I struggle with accepting people teasing, so goal also refers to that as well, and accepting that people have differing opinions.  They won’t like/love the things I do. Keeping my room less cluttered and being able to have it the way I want while still satisfying my mom.  I came late to the fangirling party, so I’m trying to get the fangirl type ...

Top 5 Polarizing Books

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy.

Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like...

Anna Karenina Review

Review of Anna Karenina  By: Leo Tolstoy             Despite the title, Anna Karenina is not the main character of this epic story, but the second main character to Tolstoy’s stand-in Constantine Levin.  Levin is a farmer, who is in love with Kitty, but she is in love with Count Vronsky, Anna’s lover.  Anna wants to divorce her Karenin so she can be with Vronsky, but Karenin won’t allow it and he wants guardianship of their son Serazha. Meanwhile, Kitty’s sister Dolly’s husband, and Anna’s brother, Oblonsky has a mistress and finds his family getting in the way of his independence.             This classic story is quite a soap opera, but obviously is so much more than that as this is a story is about life during a tumultuous time in Russia.  Tolstoy juxtaposes Levin’s life with Anna’s as we read about the choices, they make to give t...
