A Wonderful Life

 Emily of New Moon by L. M. Montgomery is a really great book that I think is great for kids. If you recognise the author's name, that is because she was also the author of Anne of Green Gables. Not many people know that she wrote the Emily series, but in my opinion I actually like it better than the Anne of Green Gables series. There are three books in the Emily series, but today I would like to focus on the first one.  Emily of New Moon is about a girl named Emily who is orphaned and sent away to live with her Aunt's and Cousin in a house called New Moon. Her mother was a Murray, and the Murray family was one of the greatest families and the richest at that time. Her mother had eloped with her father, and therefore her family never talked to her afterwards, but because of the Murray Pride, they took in Emily when her father died. Emily is a very imaginative girl, and when her father died she would write letters to him and tell him about everything that was happening to h...

 I have been super excited to post about Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, as it is a great book and really worth reading! Pride and Prejudice is about the Bennet family, who live in an estate called Longbourn. Mr and Mrs Bennet have 5 daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia. The story is about Mrs Bennet, their mother, trying to marry off her girls, and Mr Bennet laughing at the crazy antics of Mrs Bennet. The title of the book refers to two of the main characters in the story, Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Mr Darcy is the owner of a great estate in Derbyshire which is called Pemberley. His main fault is pride, and throughout the book he learns to be more humble. Elizabeth Bennet is the second daughter of Mr and Mrs Bennet and her main fault is prejudice. She instantly dislikes Mr Darcy because she hears him say that she is not pretty enough to tempt him, and maintains this opinion of him, even when it should've been obvious to her that she had no reason or fou...

 A book that I have been wanting to review for some time is the book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. The reason being that a lot of people have some very large misconceptions about it. I read it for schoolwork, and I was kinda nervous to read it, because I always thought Frankenstein was really scary! But when I read it, I realised that the book wasn't really scary, it was more sad and heart-wrenching. It really portrays the human desire to be like God.  So you might be wondering why I actually like Frankenstein? Well, I love it because it is a representation of the sublime. You might think sublime means really nice, like a sublime chocolate cake, but in literature it has a different meaning. It means something that draws awe and wonder, that something often being dark and grotesque, although it could be something beautiful as well. In this piece of literature, it is the darkness and the tragedy that makes it sublime.  The story of Frankenstein is really one of tragedy....

Hi everyone! I was talking to my mum about the first book I was going to review on my blog, and we thought for a while about all the great books I've read, but as soon as I thought of this book, I knew I had to review it first.  The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge is definitely one of my all time favourite books, if not my most favourite book! I would recommend it for ages 10 and up, but I think that anyone, regardless of their age, should read this book. By the way, this is not a book about horses. Horse books are not really my thing, and I just wanted to clarify that, because the title makes it sound like it is one.  The book is about a girl named Maria, who moves to Moonacre Valley to live with her uncle. She moves with her dog and her nurse. The story follows all of the adventures that she has in Moonacre valley, and all the mystery around the people. I would love to tell you everything about it, but that would obviously spoil the book, and I would never want ...
