Oh, dear. For a while I had completely forgotten about my engagement to this blog. My summer completely got away from me and the school year has been off to a particularly busy start as well.
The Summer of Banned Books is now what was. Now, by all means, I read lots of banned books. I just didn't necessarily have the time to blog about them. So, I've decided to continuing on blogging, keeping my ever so catchy title, and attempting to sit down and write about what I've just read.
As it so happens, when I was rummaging through the remnants of our unpacked boxes in our storage building, I came across 5 banned books that my mother had been hiding from me! Okay, so she told me she had a lot of banned books out there when I started this whole trek off the reserve, but I just didn't really get that through me head. I found Slaughterhouse-5 (Kurt Vonnegut), Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Ken Kesey), 1984 (George Orwell), and Brave New World (Aldous Huxley). So, in time, I will eventually write about my actual summer literary experiences, but until then, I will read what I have.
At the moment, I'm reading Jane Eyre (again...) by Charlotte Brontë. It's such an amazing book in my opinion. Kinda dreary, yeah, if you're into that kind of thing (Which, I am.) Although, I could see why it could be banned in that time period.
I'm not going to give too much of my review away because I wouldn't really need to blog about it, would I?
So stay tuned, I'm not putting down my (metaphorical) pen forever!
Now for the excuses, Hmmm, so, I was unable to write because while I was kayaking down Lake Loch Ness, a treacherous lake monster (which I found out is actually a very large kelpie being held there by wizards!) veered it's ugly head and brought me to it's underwater cave in which I have been discovering for the past two-months. That's all I've got, That's all you're going to get. That's the best I could come up with.
Keep Reading,
Emma Bradford xx
