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.

 AND another month just went by.

Wow.

11 books this month, which ISN'T as much as I wanted but is still good enough for me. I honestly thought I would end at 4.

I haven't been as inspired to read because I haven't found too many good books. I did read a lot of good books this month but I also read a lot of mediocre ones too.

FAVORITE BOOK OF THE MONTH: The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You
HONORABLE MENTION OF THE MONTH: The Lovely Reckless

I've been watching a LOT of The Vampire Diaries and I have been LOVING it. AHHHH SEASON 2 of Famous in Love comes out in 4 days!

AND it's Spring Break! Yay!

I have a HUGE to-read for April and I'm going to TRY to get through all of them. There's just a stack of books by my bed for me to start. I'm currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird for school and I'm enjoying it.

MAYBE I should do genre-inspired months...

But no. I have to have my daily romance and contemporary.

Hah.

OOH, I got 1st place in a writing contest! That's fun.

Well, that's all I got to say. COMMENT your FAV books below!

Goodbye March, Hello April!
