Feature Follow Friday



I cannot tell you how many times I have seen this blog hop and wanted to try it out but simply did not have the time at that moment.  Well, now I have finally done it.  Here is my post for Feature and Follow Friday!  For those of you who do not know, this is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.  Basically you jump from blog to blog making new friends and gaining followers on the way.  (Oh and there is also a weekly question!).   So let's get right into things!

This week's questions is:  What book are you currently reading?

This is an interesting question because as of now I should probably be reading my chemistry book rather than writing this post (oops).  As a side note, we are only two weeks into the semester and chemistry has taken over my life completely.  

Putting that aside, I am currently reading and enjoying some other books for classes.  For my amazing Shakespeare class I just finished reading Antigone by Sophocles, as an introduction to the tragedy.  I am currently reading Romeo and Juliet which I am excited about because I haven't read this play since high school.  I love a good love story and Romeo and Juliet is the most perfect of the tragic love stories.  It really makes me swoon and cry at the same time.


Other than books for school, I haven't read many books that I brought from home.  I think once I have gotten into the swing of college life again I will start posting more reviews.  In the mean time I would love to hear what you are reading right now, so post a comment and I will go check it out.

  1. I enjoyed Romeo and Juliet :) never had the chance to study (that's including AFTER my degree) so it's a shame.

  2. I'm reading "When You Were Mine" by Rebecca Serle. Since you are reading Romeo and Juliet you might be interested in this book. I'm only about a third through it, but I like the different modern take of Romeo and Juliet.

    1. I will have to try it. I have to find a book that isn't school related.

  3. I have never read Romeo and Juliet. It's a bit of shocker because it's a classic. I would love to read it though. New Follower

    1. It is definitely worth it. It is not as intense and difficult to understand as some of Shakespeares other plays.

  4. Gotta love the classics. I remember quite liking both, though both aren't very happy books are they?
