So this was our book club for the month. I am pretty proud that I finished it really. Not saying that it wasn't really good, but it was a difficult read. A lot of description! But the story is amazing. Whenever I ask anyone about this book the say they read it in school. I didn't but I am so glad I have read it. The one thing that stands out to me in this book is the character of Jane. She has the most pure character. She is honest with others, but more importantly with herself. That quality is one that is so precious, I want to be more like that. Throughout the book she is never dishonest with herself. I highly suggest reading it if you didn't already ion high school.

North and South
So I have never been a big classical literature person. Our book club had us read this last year so I decided I could try it. I loved it! I am not saying it is an easy read, the language is a little difficult to adjust to, but it is great. It is the story of a girl during the industrial revolution of England. The Characterization is amazing. The story also keeps a quick pace. You can even download it for free online and listen to it a chapter at a time! I will link that in a comment later.
