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 …

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 ...

I’ve read 10 entire books! Probably more than I have ever read in a year, nowadays. I came into this course with the obvious idea that I will be reading many books, but I never thought it’d be this much. I think what I anticipated to have accomplished from this course has been done. That […]

Hey everyone! This class is coming to an end, and I can't believe this will be my last blog post. I've gotten so used to writing them every week that it'll feel strange not to do them anymore. I might have to start journalling ...

Well, it has been quite the journey. I entered this course expecting to dislike 80% of it since I no longer knew how to read fiction. I quit reading fiction a long time ago. Also, literature courses have a reputation of being torturous. But boy, was I mistaken. The ability to choose my own grade […]

Hi everyone!! This would be my last blog post for this class. I honestly feel proud of everyone and myself for reading all the books that we had contracted for, and I hope that we have at least found one novel that we resonate with! This course was definitely one of my favourite classes for […]
