I want to read more and post more but my second year at University is getting on top of me- I promise I will after my exams in May!!!
(How I feel when I look at my books – them waiting for me to start reading them)
Comment below if you have read any of them and your thoughts and even better-recommend books to me βΊοΈ
How have you read so many?! 52 is my target for the whole year and I’m already way behind. I am amazed π³
How did you find North and South? It’s on my TBR but I’ve never read any Elizabeth Gaskell

I like north and south, it’s very descriptive and wordy but when you embrace that it’s really good. I definitely want to check out more of her work π±
