Update: Life and Books (Oct 2023) + Gay Frankenstein Art!

I forgot to keep track of anything this month, and now I don't know what I did. I guess I played more Moonstone Island?

Bookish Musings: What Were Your Favorite and Least Favorite Required Reading Books?

Bookish Musings: What Were Your Favorite and Least Favorite Required Reading Books?

I think we can all agree that we love reading novels. And part of school is having to read novels. So it seems like that would awesome for us bookworms, right? Well, no. At least not in my experiences. While there were a few required reading books that I loved, I hated or felt apathetic toward most of them. I think most of them just weren't to my reading tastes, but I do wonder if I might've...
