College Catch-up

I've just returned to College for four weeks before we break up for the Summer so we can start working on our A2 courses. While this is all good and exciting, it means I have no time to read things outside of the curriculum (which is annoying, I'd just started Jane Eyre) so I'm going to be commenting on things I've been reading for my courses instead. At first it's going to be a couple of plays - King Lear by Shakespeare and The House of Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca - which should be interesting as it's something a little bit different, and then I'm going to be reading a selection of novels which centre around the theme for my coursework of 'Houses'. This means re-reading Wuthering Heights and discovering new books like Howards End by E.M. Forster and The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. I'll probably also do a bit of other extra reading, such as The Return by Victoria Hislop for some more thorough knowledge of Lorca's world, and then Fingersmith by Sarah Waters, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley for some more House themes.

These are all just ideas of what I could be reading over the summer so I may not read all of them, but I'll give it a good go. Talk soon!
