Books, Books Books!

I love to read! My favorite kind of books are Fantasy, but I love any kind of book. History, Non-fiction, Science fiction... I love books!

Last Saturday I finished reading the Harry Potter books, and I loved them. My favorite was the last one, but I liked all of them. If you saw one of my previous post on Shakespeare, you'll have noticed that last month I read A LOT of Shakespeare plays. I enjoy reading Shakespeare, and now that I've read so much of it (but not nearly as much as my Shakespeare teachers) I understand it pretty well. Another book that I listened to last month was Uncle Toms Cabin. I had to read or listen to it for a Civil war class I'm taking through my home-school group. I really liked Uncle Toms Cabin, and I thought it was a very good clasical book. It took me about three weeks to listen to it on and off.

Here is a list of [some] of my favorite books. They're not really in order, just as I think of them:)
