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 […]

I am so relieved to have finally finished my literature requirements. This class was not what I expected, with the contract, flexible assessments, and ultimately, my newfound appreciation for reading.

In this book, we obviously have a talking gecko or lizard who can go into dreams, but also the idea … Continue reading Thoughts on The Book of Chameleons

Last week I remember including in my blog that as the books got more modern, they were getting easier to understand. I think I have to take back that statement for this week’s book. Although the actual language used in the book is more like the action/adventure novels I used to binge, the jumps in … Continue reading Thoughts on Money to Burn

I am grateful for the fact that as we read these books throughout the year, the time each is written in is getting more and more modern, and thus I feel like the language used is almost easier for me to understand as well. However what strikes me is the material of much of the … Continue reading Thoughts on The Lover
