Hi everyone! It’s honestly so hard to believe that this is the last blog post that I’m writing for this course.  Looking back at the first blog post I wrote at the very beginning, one of the goals that I set was to become more motivated to read on a daily basis. From the 11 […] read full post >>

To start off, I really enjoyed this course, largely because I can really say that my passion for reading which I lost once starting university because of how many ‘boring’ school books I had to read. All of these books provoked emotion in me, allowing me to engage more with the texts and keep me […] read full post >>

As this term ends, it’s time to look back at this class that has been quite a ride. Writing this last blog post feels a bit sad but it’s cool to think about all the books we’ve read and what I’ve learned. I really liked two books a lot: “Money to Burn” by Ricardo Piglia […] read full post >>

We did it. We did it, everyone. We made it to the end of the semester and this will be the last blog post for the course. Applaud yourselves on the back for all the readings you have done, blog posts you wrote, as well as all of the discussions you went through. Most importantly, […] read full post >>

Hi everyone, Time to write my concluding blog post. I have been feeling very sentimental about finishing my first year and the beginning of my post secondary academic journey. It really is the end of the beginning and I can honestly say that I am proud of how far we have all come. Looking back […] read full post >>

Hello my lovely friends! Or should I say…goodbye? 😏 All jokes, but it’s a bit surreal to think that 13-14 ish weeks already passed and I’m now parting with this blog and, consequently, the rest of you guys. It literally does feel like yesterday I was struggling to figure out how to use WordPress while […] read full post >>

I can't believe this semester is (almost) over! I had such a great time reading and chatting about these books with everyone. I've never had the opportunity to read so many books from so many different countries in such a short amount of time, so it wa... read full post >>

I want to say that I greatly enjoyed this class even though it was not what I expected. This was my first time experiencing a class structured like this and I was a bit apprehensive about how it would go but I enjoyed the informality of the blog posts ... read full post >>

Alas, we have reached the end of the semester… crazy to look back at all the books we’ve studied over the past three months. If anything, this course has shown me that I do in fact have time to read, and need to stop making excuses for why I’m too busy to do so. I’m […] read full post >>

Hi Romance Studiers, This is the last Ellie post of all time! Throughout this semester, I have been reflecting on an internal issue of mine that is somewhat relevant to my feelings towards the course. One of my favourite non-curricular activities is writing, whether that be songs or poems, I just love to write. Despite […] read full post >>

As we wrap up this semester, reflecting and looking back throughout what I have done in this course  seems pretty crazy to me. One of my new year resolutions was to read more books than the previous year  (which was 1) and this course helped ... read full post >>
