Bucket Reading List: Top 5 - Classics Edition


Today I thought I'd come at you with some books because who doesn't love books? Better yet, who doesn't love a good list of books you have and have vowed to read so many times it's reached the point where you just pass them and bitterly sigh, "Before I die I will read you" because that's the best you can hope for?

I do! So here you are. Read and enjoy :)

1) Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
     I have literally started and stopped this book at least 12 times--can anyone else relate?

2) Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
     Almost finished this book like 6 years ago but stopped 75% of the way--Nabokov is disturbed.

3) Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank
     This I'm just too scared to read, which I know is a chicken shit excuse--she lived it--but nonetheless I'm too chicken shit to start it.

4) The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson 
     It's just so used in pop culture yet I've never read it and I feel that's wrong.

5) The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux
     Again so popular and have never read it.


Are any of these on your bucket reading list? What are your top 5?

Share your struggles and comment down below :)

Have a wonderful day and go start a book.

Sincerely,
Cori

A Review of "The Broken Girls" by Simone St. James

Let me start off by saying I'm sorry this post is late. It's the end of the semester and I'm terrible. I apologize, but allow me to make it up to you by reviewing a book :D ***SPOILERS BELOW: PLEASE READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU READ THIS POST. THIS WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED IF YOU'VE READ IT AS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EITHER AGREE WITH ME OR CALL ME A CRAZY LOON*** Let me start off by saying I am glad I read this book. It was worth it. It's an enjoyable and interesting story, with compelling characters. The whole world St. James created is a well loved one. You can feel the affection for the characters and it makes you love them all the more. That being said, I still had my issues. To set up the context of this review I will say that I'm a writer. So this is going to have more of a workshop feel to it than a traditional review. For those of you unfamiliar with workshops it's the offering of constructive criticism. You don't have to like it, but you have...

How to Declutter in 3-ish Easy Steps!

Do you have more crap than any human person should be able to accumulate in one lifetime? I do! And if you're anything like me you constantly look at all this crap and wish it would all just go away--but when you actually go to get rid of it you suddenly have a deep emotional attachment to everything and you leave the endeavor disappointed to say the least. So after my closet declutter I have some tips and advice for all the budding hoarders out there to help us all avoid the embarrassing but seemingly inevitable moment where authorities have to bulldoze their way into our homes and physically remove us. Tip #1: Clear. Remove everything from the space. Everything. Even the stuff you know is going back. Get it out. This will help clear your mind and start deciding what you want and need for that space. Tip #2: Clean. This gives you more time to decide what you want but also helps to reset the space in your mind. This really makes me view it like I'm moving in again and star...

Why You Need to Watch "Timeless" Sundays on NBC 10/9c

Ok, so I have feelings about this and all the #Clockblockers who campaigned for it's renewal in 2017 will know the struggle is real. They'll remember the disappointment when we heard it had been cancelled, and how elated we were when we heard that we changed NBC's mind. So I'm going to tell you why you should jump on the Lifeboat with us, because I promise you it's worth it. It's honest about history : Not only does Timeless maintain as much historical accuracy as humanly possible when it comes to events, but it is real about the times. Any of my fellow Whovians will remember Martha (incredible, GOOD, Martha), and the Shakespeare episode. She's black and asks the Doctor if she'll be ok--to which he responds yeah and tells her to just walk around like she owns the place because that always works for him--a white guy. While I don't condemn them for sidestepping an issue people are afraid to talk about, it does encourage the glossing over of histo...
