first up on my list was: the clockwork prince by cassandra clare. it is the second book in a trilogy titled the infernal devices. these books are a prequel to the best-selling series the mortal instruments which is another series i love a lot and think you all should read. this book left me hanging and broke my heart a little. i want tessa to end up with will although i love jem. the whole situation is just sad. she does a good job of writing a good love triangle. im extremely anxious for the final book in the series to come, but i have to wait a WHOLE year. oh well, as much as i hate waiting for a book in a series, i also love it. there's nothing like speculating and anticipating how a beloved series is going to end. it makes me miss harry potter.
second to be read was: the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde. it is a dark book that showed me a whole new way to look at the world. while not my favorite book ever, it was a quick read and i liked it. it has a lot of good life lessons in it, and oscar wilde is witty and i enjoyed his writing style.
the third book i read and now i am obsessed is: JANE EYRE. i can't believe i had never read it before. i loved mr. rochester and loved jane even more. she is passionate and bold and loves deeply. and i loved the way they loved each other. i am a sucker for love stories and this one thrilled me! thank you alexis for telling me to read this book. it has become one of my favorites.
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
“I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed view of him, they spontaneously revived, great and strong! He made me love him without looking at me.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
Not a human being that ever lived could wish to be loved better than I was loved; and him who thus loved me I absolutely worshipped.
-Jane Eyre
