Hello everyone! This semester went by a lot faster than the winter semester, and it brought back my long-lost hobby of reading every evening. I enjoyed the structure and flexibility of this course, it allowed me to choose how many books I wanted to read this semester and provided me with readings that I would’ve […] read full post >>

Hi everyone, we made it to the end of the semester! The number of books I chose to read for this class seemed daunting at first. But after getting over the learning curve of reading Combray, I started to get into the hang of reading and reflecting... read full post >>

Hurrah! We have done it! We have conquered the second semester, I don’t know about you all but I’m reeeally ready for this semester to be over! What I’m finding a little harder to let go of, however, is this class! If you happen to be reading this post from a future Jon Beasley-Murray I […] read full post >>

And with this blog post I bid a tearful goodbye! This is a class I genuinely fell so so in love with. I loved taking time out of my very busy day to sit down and read. What I find adorable is that my first blog post was so proper but if you read my … read full post >>

Hi everyone, welcome to my last blog of this semester. It was great to meet you all as well as read some of your blogs. Something very interesting and weird happened this week, so I was looking on Facebook marketplace for different houses because I am trying to relocate. I found this one room way […] read full post >>

Hey Everyone! Congrats on making it to the end of the course and overall the last week of classes! I don’t know about everyone else but I had a heavy course load with tons of reading and exams, but I could only imagine how much worse it would have been if I picked a different […] read full post >>

Hey everyone, welcome to my final blog post. It is a sad day. This course has been a fun experience, and it introduced me to a bunch of books that I probably wouldn’t have read otherwise. I liked the diversity in the book selection, and how there were a good few from lesser known authors, […] read full post >>

I can’t believe that I am writing the last blog post for this course. This course was something very different from the other courses that I have taken so far but honestly speaking I kind of liked the whole contract grading system as it gave us the freedom to choose the grades that we want […] read full post >>

No book readings this week! After a long three-four months and 11 books later, the course is hitting its final stretch. Whatever the reason, this semester felt like it went by in the blink of an eye. It was shocking to me to realize that it was the last week of class!  While I do […] read full post >>

Hello! It is really weird to be at the end of the semester as it has felt really short, especially in regards to this class. This is my final conclusion to this class, but first I want to thank everyone in the class for making amazing blogs. I  also want to thank all the people […] read full post >>

Hi all, if you don’t know who I am my name is Ryan. It’s not too late to ask for my autograph before I become famous. Let’s go back to the first lecture. I actually had no idea what Romance Studies was. I enrolled in this course because it has a cool name and fulfills […] read full post >>

For this week's blog post, I read... wait... there are no more books!!!?? I was genuinely tweaking because I thought there was another book for this week. Then, I realized this was the last week. I think I got so used to reading a book per week that I ... read full post >>
