This is SO late!
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas - Ursula Le Guin
4th April - 4th April
This was the second of four short stories I had to read for one of my modules. It was really short and a bit of a weird topic, but on the whole it wasn't too bad.
The Tell-Tale Heart - Edgar Allan Poe
4th April - 4th April
This is another short story I had to read for uni. It was even weirder than the last one. It basically has a very unstable narrator who is full of guilt.
Trumpet - Jackie Kay
11th April - 15th April
This is the last book I studied in my Gender and Writing module. It is an interest story on the topic of transgender and identity. I really enjoyed reading this and challenged stereotypes very well.
Freakangels - Warren Ellis
18th April- 19th April
This is a webcomic about London in the future. In the end we only had to read volume 1, which I'm quite glad about as I didn't really enjoy it. I just found it a bit boring. I don't know whether it would have improved as it went along.
Geek Girl Model Misfit - Holly Smale
18th April - 26th April
This is the second in the Geek Girl series and it was just as good as the first. It was full of some wonderfully weird facts and a really nerdy narrator.
Divergent - Veronica Roth
19th April - 21st April
I watched the film version and thought it was quite good, so I decided to read the book. It is very different to the film, but in a good way. It was a lot more detailed.
Stay Where You Are & Then Leave - John Boyne
23rd April - 27th April
It is a children's novel by the author that wrote The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. It tells the story of Alfie, a young boy who is trying to find out what has happened to his dad who went off to war in World War One. It felt slightly childish at times, but it was ok.
Sonny's Blues - James Baldwin
28th April - 28th April
It was the longest short story of the lot being 29 A4 pages long! It was really strange and the worst thing was that I (along with the rest of my seminar group) read the wrong short story!
Thanks for Stopping By!
