Wuthering Heights. It is a book that has been described as the best book ever written in English. It is a classic and one that I've heard a lot about. I had always wanted to read it and this year my English teacher recommended it to me. When she told me I needed to read I knew that I needed to read it. I started reading this book not really knowing what I was expecting from it, but what I'm feeling now is weird. I'm sort of confused, happy and sad all rolled into one. I think I have already written in my other post about Wuthering Heights, but I will say it again, Wuthering Heights is such a roller coaster for your emotions. This book have me so many different emotions. This not a review of the book, but more like my reaction and feelings about it.
I was so sort of confused when I first finished this book. Honestly this book to me is sort of messed up. It was full of incest (which I think was normal in those days), hatred, child abuse and revenge, but it was strangely good. It has actually taken me quite a while to finish this book, because I couldn't read it for a long time. I would read one or two chapters and then take a break. This book scared me and made me question human nature so I needed to have a break after reading it for a bit.
Everyone who has read this book ships Heathcliff and Catherine, and so do I, but I can't help but disliking Heathcliff. First of he abused child, even his own. Second of all he was just mean and cruel, but the ting was I also sympathised with him. He was a foundling who was looked down upon by his adopted family and he wasn't able to live with the person he loved. His love for Catherine was what made me love this novel so much, but his love for Catherine in my eyes do not justify his cruelty to is wife, son Hareton and Catherine. I sort of understand how he would not like Edger because he married his true love, but intense hatred for everyone else baffled me and made me extremely scared of him.
This book was so different to books that I have read before because it is manly told from flashbacks of the house maid, but it was unique and I really enjoyed it. I don't know about the ending though. I feel like this whole novel talks about so much and deals with many situations, but then I sort of abruptly ended with Heathcliff's death. Thinking back it sort of made sense, especially since he told Nelly that he was dying, but to me I felt that the ending was a little bit of a let down. This was basically a ramble of my thoughts. I'm still digesting this story and feeling many different emotions. This was a really cool book though, that I"m very glad that I have finally gotten around to reading.

Wuthering Heights Feels
Hello everyone!
I'm currently reading Wuthering Heights and can I just say OMG THE FEELS! If you are a reader of my blog you will know that I do not use all caps very often, so when I do I mean business. This book is honestly inflicting emotions in me that I didn't even know were humanly possible. I don't even know if I like the book (I'm not finished yet), but I know that this book is insanely emotional.
Do not keep on reading if you don't want to be spoiled!
When I first started reading it I was so freaked out. I was reading it and imagining a little hand grabbing my wrist and my heart starting beating so fast that I felt like it was going to feel out of my chest. It was even worst because it was the middle of the night and I was the only one awake. Creepy! It's not just the creepiness of the book that scares me but all the emotions. This book is feels like a One Direction concert. Happiness and also tears. A lot of tears. Can I just say I feel so much for Isabella. I haven't finished the book, but so far she has suffered so much. She fell in love with Heathcliff and he didn't return her feelings. He was in love with Catherine yet he led her on and then married her to try to torture Catherine and Isabella. That is so sad. I will have a full review up soon when I finish the book, but for now I sort of hate Heathcliff. I don't know whether or not the rest of the book will change my mind or not, but for no I don't really like him. I understand that he loves Catherine more than life itself, but does that justify his actions? He took out Linton's hair in the locket (I love how the housekeeper twisted both of their hair together, btw), he ruined Isabella's life for the sake of revenge and he was so rude. I absolutely love how much he loves Catherine and it's beautiful, but I can't help but not really like him, but in the scenes where is with Catherine before she died made me want to cry so much. The life of a fangirl *sniffles*
Thanks for reading todays post! I hope you liked it and feel free to tell me your opinions. I love to hear your opinions!
Lots of love,

OMG people are talking about this?!!
Hello everyone! This is going to be an insanely short post, but so I already mentioned how I was at the Reading Matters Conference (such an amazing experience!) and lately I've been going through the #YAmatters from twitter and looking at the tweets from that day and it's so cool to see author who I LOVE to be saying positive things about our panel! That's so insanely cool! I feel so happy and can't get the grin of my face. I'm just so happy! It's so cool to see people who have tweeted the things you said or tweeted about the panel and saying that it was good. Thanks everyone who has! <3
I'm at school now and we had a but of free time so I was looking online about the conference and I saw a paragraph about the panel. This is it:
"The first event I get to see involves a panel of teenagers talking about how they discover books and talk to people about reading. The three teens are remarkably engaging, well spoken and insightful. They call for less romance! A panel of actual teens is a great way to start off a conference about teen reading, and it is well chaired by Elizabeth Flux (Voiceworks)."-Stephanie Speight

Seriously, oh my gosh! People have been saying the nicest things! It's so cool to see. I can't believe that the panel was already last week, but I had so much fun speaking there and I know I'll remember this for a long time. :)
