Books I have read and books I have yet to read

I've been quite the reader lately and I thought I would share some of my favorites with you!
One of my all time favorites is Dracula by Bram Stoker. Seriously some of the best writing I have ever seen. (ok so I got these pictures form amazon.com and that is why alot of these have that stupid "look inside" thing at the top. =))
I would recommend this, but I also know alot of people who don't like it. They think it's hard to read or they just think it's too dark, but I love it. So you cna pick if you want to read it or not.
Another amazing read is The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. This book is so mysterious and it kept me enthralled until the end!

Everyone loves Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte right? I think it's fabulous and if you haven't read it yet, you definitely should!


Currently I have been going through the entire collection of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It's a pretty big undertaking actually. There are so many different stories and a few novels thrown in there too. I have to say that I'm very fond of my Mr. Holmes. I love getting up and reading his mysteries with breakfast! Definitely another collection I would recommend to you all.


I also have a reading list. The following books are the ones I still have to read. At the top is Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I'm very excited to read this because it's one of Ashlei's favorite books and she's recommended it many times to me.



Another one on the list is The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. I've heard this is also a good one so I'm excited for this one as well.




And last but not least is the complete collections of Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte. My dad gave me this beautiful, huge, hardback book for christmas that has all of their stories. How great is that?! I'm really looking forward to getting started on that!



As you can see I really love the classics! I'm open to anything though. Do any of you have any recommendations? I would love to hear what your favorites are!
I hope all of you had a great week and have a great weekend!

More Music

I have been such a bad blogger and I apologize. I just have not been inspired to write anything as of late and this one might be a little disappointing considering I'm just talking about music once again.

My new purchase is the Gavin Degraw, Chariot cd. It's pretty cool because it consists of two cds with the same songs on it but one cd is the stripped versions of all the songs. I love it!
I would definitely recommend it if you're into him.




On a different note, I am soon to buy my plane ticket to California!


I'll be going sometime in March so that I'll be there when little Rosalie Hope is born! You have no idea how excited I am to see everybody! I'll get my sister time with Talia, my best friend time with Ashlei, some brother-in-law time with Jeremy, and auntie time with Emma, Annabelle, and soon Rosalie!


So yeah that's the new excitement in my life.


How are all of you?
