Oh Heyyyya

I finished Jane Eyre and Things Fall Apart today! Whooop! I'm so happy I finished them!

I really loved Jane Eyre. Some parts were really predictable but the ending really surprised me! The most predictable part for me was when Jane was at Moor House and Diana, St. John, and Mary find out that their uncle passed away. Right away I was like, "JANE IS RELATED TO YOUUUU!" And then they were. Booyah.

I don't really know if I liked Things Fall Apart. So I don't really know what to say about it.

Ida B. Wells

I have finally finished another book. This one is more biographical, historical but in all a good book (for those that like that sort of thing.) Ida B. Wells and the Reconstruction of Race by (insert first name here) Davidson. Davidson did a good job on tying in Ida's life with what was going on in the South as she grew up. Now, I had to read this book for a class and it definitely wasn't something I'd pick up on my own, but I'm very glad I read it.

Other books to be finishing soon - Jane Eyre, Things Fall Apart, and Their Eyes Were Watching God. They should all be finished by Wednesday hopefully. (Yes, these are all for classes too. And there's another five or six that I still have to read for classes so just bear with me. Once summer hits, I'm going all out and read as many books that I want to read as possible.)
