My most remarkable achievement: reading Gone with the Wind in less than three months. Or so. I know it sounds a lot, but hey, I’ve had university going on! And generally, more than 1000 pages for me is a big no-no! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the novel and what an easy read it was! I couldn’t put the book down when Rhett Butler was in the landscape. My favourite character, no doubt! I can hardly remember the descriptions… This is what I really didn’t like. I know they were valuable pieces of historical information, but I would’ve rather skipped them. But all in all… I loved the book!

My biggest surprise was Little Women. I usually wouldn’t have gone for Christian, 100% clean romance books, but I am glad I’ve overstepped my comfort zone. I am definitely a fan of comfort books now and, if I ever plan on writing a new novel, this is what I am going to write. Needless to say, I think, that Jo was my favourite March girl, and of course, I loved the professor and his kind nature. Such a sweet read!

Then it was The Thorn Birds. Wow. After seeing the movie, I thought that I should read this as well, for the sake of the old times, when I was so interested in star-crossed romances and tragic stories. It also posed some moral and philosophical questions, so I immediately put my hands on it. And it was great. My favourite character was Ralph, and man, he is the one I less understood. Such an interesting character the author portraied! I was quite unsure whether to read it because I knew it has some… eh… sex scenes that I was not into. I thought I would not like it at all. And the truth it, it could’ve been written without those explicit scenes. But considering the rest of the story… and overall… I liked it.

Right now I am reading North and South and I am definitely falling in love with Mr. Thornton! Aww! It feels like another version of Jane Eyre.
