How would you guys feel if I took book recommendations and then read and reviewed them here for you? These books could be ones that you have read and loved, read and hated, or haven’t read yet and want to know if they’re worth reading.

I’m unsure how fast I can read and review during uni, but I think we could make this remarkable. I am beyond grateful to have so many followers (I love you all so much), and I believe we could make these recommendations and reviews a fantastic, worthwhile venture.

I would communicate with you guys, and we could decide how I would analyze, review, and critique the literature. Similarly, these blog posts would be open for everyone to give their own opinions and ideas—this would be a communal thing. After all, literature is supposed to draw us all together.

You could recommend anything: a poem, an essay, a book, a play, etc.; Contemporary or thousands of years old… go for it! I will compile them into a list and work through them as best I can. Then, we can all discuss the piece after I post a review. :)

I am not saying that my literary analysis is holy, but I do pride myself on my gift of reading, interpreting, and understanding literature. As an English major, I take literary analysis extremely seriously. Because of this, I realize how important it is to be accurate, honest, and critical. I merely want to share my thoughts and opinions about works of literature and hear others’ perspectives in return.

I can share photos of my annotations, update you on my thoughts as I read, and finally post a long review with everything included: my general thoughts, themes, character analysis, plot analysis, symbolism, and anything else you can think of.

What do you think? :) please let me know your thoughts in the comments and if you’d like to reblog this post, please do! I think it would be fun to have a big reading group on tumblr.

(We can find a cute name for it later, too! I can also create a community, I bet. :) )

My toxic trait is that I’m still alive
