Let's do this shall we!
Currently reading: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
This novel is for my 3rd year module 'Victorian Gothic' which I am SO excited to do but it's not starting until January :( Actually, I'm excited for all my modules next year. Along with 'Vic Goth' I'm going 'Victorian Literature', 'Modernism' and 'Science Fiction', HOW AWESOME DO THEY SOUND? I'm also doing my dissertation (eeeep!) but I've got a good topic in mind so all is good!
I'm only 30 pages off finishing this one so expect a book review soon. I am enjoying it as well so hopefully I'll give it a good review so some of you will pick it up and give it a go.
Once I move back home from University I will definitely give you guys a picture of the amount of books I will have to read this summer but for now, here is my current reading list:
