Pride and Prejudice | Slightly Obsessed...

Let me start at the beginning... It all happened in the middle of my English class about 2-3 months ago. I was sitting in a tiny hallway with all of the other girls who attend my (all girls) school. The head of the English department told us we could choose an elective book to read. Me being me, I was thrilled that I could choose out of a selection of books to read! 
So I got the list and went home, when I got home I found out the options were as follows:

  1. The Great Gatsby 
  2. The Secret Life of Bees
  3. The Plain Truth
  4. The Book Thief
  5. Pride and Prejudice
So, I heavily debated between The Book Thief (which I have already read) or Pride and Prejudice. And after a LOT of research, I decided upon my FIRST CLASSIC BOOK! - Pride and Prejudice.

Book Slump?

I have something awful happening to me that I NEVER though would happen... I have always felt for the people who have been affected by it, but I never though that it would impact on my life the way that it has. 
I am in a book slump. 
And at present, I don't know what to do about it. I have so many books that I want to read! Up until this point, I wasn't ready to accept the truth, but I cannot deny it anymore. So I am speaking out, I am acknowledging it, so that hopefully I will be able to overcome this massive struggle that I am going through... 
This is my story...

HAHA! And to think that I all but failed drama in year 8! If you have gotten this far, I thank you for being so strong and persevering through that! 
To be honest, this post it just going to be me randomly talking about anything that is book related and happening in my life, also why I haven't been posting as much lately. 
So lately, I have found that although I want to read I am psyching myself out of it. So I try to sit down and read and all I can think about is how I am going to fail school if I don't do more school work. I know it sound stupid, but I feel guilty about not doing school work but I also feel guilty about not posting on my blog and reading books...
See my problem here? But I have come up with a solution people!
Instead of feeling like I need to read, I am just going to read when I want to. Sounds simple enough right? And it really is! 
So, basically, you can be expecting more posts from me in the coming weeks! I feel so happy about this and will keep my reading up, because it is something I love and I don't want to EVER get sick of!
