Rebecca is a strange yet fascinating and surprising read. I expected less from it, but was pleased with the quality of writing and plot that the novel gave me. It is a story about a young, unnamed girl who unexpectedly marries a wealthy older man. She arrives at his house and is confronted by the impact that his dead wife has had on the employees of the Manderley mansion.
Recently I was tagged by meltingpotsandothercalamities to do “The Unpopular Opinions Book Tag”. Thanks for tagging me! This tag is all about sharing your unpopular opinions about books.
It’s August now! I started back at university yesterday and I cannot believe that it’s my last semester. I’m really bummed about that. Anyway, let’s get into all the books I read in July and what I plan to read in August.
Emily Duran is the only survivor of a plane crash that left her stranded in the Amazon jungle. Along with five other of her classmates, she spent her days struggling against the harsh conditions and dealing with their different views on how to survive. In their unique predicament, a new way of living is discovered filled with power struggles, betrayals, secrets and lies. When Emily is rescued, she must explain to everyone why she is the last left alive.
I watched a lot of great film and television in July. For eight days I went on a cruise and watched around five films while on the boat, so a lot of them were watched then. Otherwise, everything else was just viewed in my spare time.
There is 24 readathon tomorrow (Saturday 15 July) and I’m going to be participating! It is hosted by Zoe Herdt @readbyzoe. It is going to be from midnight to midnight in your timezone.
The Top 5 Wednesday topic this Wednesday is “Children’s Books”. I have really fond memories of the books I read as a kid so it wasn’t too hard to come up with a list. I don’t think I’ve read a kid’s book since I was an actual kid so I can barely remember what they are about, but here are five nonetheless.
