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.

 Wow, 13 books! A lot more than I was expecting!

It's been a good month. A lot of things happened, some good, some bad, but overall, I am happy to say that this month was actually a great month.

School is SO close to being done and then guess what, I'm going to be a HIGHSCHOOLER!

Man, that's scary. But also exciting!!

Because it's the end of the school year, I've had TONS of tests and homework and projects but I somehow found time to get a lot of reading done this month, which I am very happy and thankful for. Over this summer, I am definitely going to be reading a LOT more, though they'll be my light breezy SUMMER READS (And I would appreciate it if you would send in recommendations??) and romantic and fun and interesting and WOW Shorter Reviews.

I know my reviews are SUPER long and I'm going to try to get them shortened this summer. Maybe I'll start doing some other things here on iRead, maybe book recommendations, maybe movie adaptation reviews?? I don't know. I have a ton of ideas and I don't always like CHANGE but after a little more than TWO years (can you believe that) I think change will be a good thing.

Which brings me to my next thing to say:

TWO YEARS OF BLOGGING

Wow. That's amazing. Sometimes I do get a little tired of it and it sometimes feels more like a "job" than for fun but I really do love it. I love sharing my opinions on books that I read and just getting my words out there. Please be sure to check out my other blogs below!
