I am so sorry for not writing in so long! I've been super busy and the month just slipped by. Before any more time has passed us by, let's get to the topic. Books! Seeing as this is a literary blog, I thought I'd focus on some of my favorite books and their plots. I am an eclectic person and my taste in novels reflects it. While I do enjoy fantasy novels (reading them as well as writing them), I also enjoy the classics as well as chick lit.
