The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela
Posted by: laura halcrow
This week I chose to read “The Underdogs” which is a story of the Mexican revolution. For the reading this week, I purchased a hard copy of the book from the bookstore, and this was actually my first time reading a handheld version of something for school in a long time, and it made such […] read full post >>
My Concluding Farewell to RMST 202!
Posted by: feedwordpress
My last week of RMST 202 had a dampener put it on it by the common issue that everyone seems to have right now – COVID. I was actually quite excited for the final week, to look back at how far I had come and how many new books I had read. Instead, I ... read full post >>

Agualusa on Reluctant Dreamers
Posted by: feedwordpress
I did not know what to think while reading, ‘The Society of Reluctant Dreamers’, by José Eduardo Agualusa. It is certainly a book that I found exists more in the realm of the unknown than the known. The story relies on speculation much of the time... read full post >>

I do know that I had NO idea about what romance studies would be and what type of literature it encompassed, which I now […] read full post >>

I’m really glad I had the opportunity to take Romance studies and learn about the romance world. We read a lot of great novels and to be completely honest, I have never read that much in my life before.

I’m not sure how to write this. I’m not sure what the correct wording to use here is because how do you write a concluding blog post? To begin with, I enjoyed this course (really mundane start but hey! gotta begin somewhere!) especially because we learnt a lot about literature in the romantic era. I […] read full post >>
Conclusion
Posted by: feedwordpress
I am a bit surprised that I actually enjoyed this course so much considering that I mostly just took It to fulfill my literature requirement. It was a great opportunity for me to read so many books because if I hadn’t taken this course I honestly probably wouldn’t have read any this term at all. […] read full post >>
