The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde - UPDATED REVIEW

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde  Genre : Classics Blurb (on back of book) : Oscar Wilde’s only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind. UPDATED REVIEW MY OPINION : ****** I would like to start out this review by stating that this is undoubtedly m...

 So I'm just looking back at this list and wondering how I only read this much.

Then again, I was sick for about two weeks, and I don't do basically anything when I'm sick. So that took about two weeks of reading off of my daily schedule.

I'm glad I read what I did. I mean, basically every single book I've read this month was something I had on my goals and that's good. I wish I had read more, but this is good, as I count books over 300 pages as two books, and that means I read well over 10 books. Yay, all of the books I read were 4.5 or 5 stars! I think.

I don't want to go check.

I'm also keeping up with some school reading and some Goodreads reading. I am also starting to beta read for FanFiction.net users, so please email me at betamonkey2004@gmail.com if you have any questions. Lastly, I think that I am writing so much that it basically counts as reading when I edit. I wrote a bunch for some writing contests and some more of my novel, which I really want to finish soon.

PROCRASTINATION, WHY TROUBLE ME OF ALL PEOPLE?

I am planning to read Happily Ever After, A List of Cages, The Wishing World, The Fill-in Boyfriend, Carry On, and try to find some others soon. Hopefully I can finish this all in February, but we must remember that it is a shorter month, not that that necessarily matters. But I'll have to shorten my goals to make them more realistic.

Please view my FanFiction, my Goodreads account, and my other blogs,  all of which are somewhere on this blog.

Yeah, that's basically it for now! I can't believe one month of a new year has passed. It's now February, basically my favorite month of the year and I'm so excited! February is an amazing month for multiple reasons.
