Inspirational Quotes

So I just got back from my small trip (a two hour drive down to view a horse) and since I'm not too brain dead from the drive and heat I thought I would quickly get in a Stacking the Shelves while I'm here. I wanted to do my first official vlog (as part of my 2013 Bucket List), but I decided to do that later since I'm in no appearance to be on camera.

Anyway, last week I had to take my sister to the library to get a biography and naturally, I cam out with a pile of books too. I'm quite proud of myself for the restraint actually, but here they are:

Blood Red Road by Moira Young

The Carrie Diaries by Candice Bushnell

Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic

Black Heart by Holly Black

Red Glove by Holly Black

White Cat by Holly Black

Not shown: Soloist by Steve Lopez

 

Severed by Sarah Alderson (ebook)

The Torn Wing by Kiki Hamilton (ebook)

That however is the last of my restraint. In case none of you know, I have a Kindle which I adore. I'm also supposed to be a part of the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge (yes, it's the character from Gilmore Girls). You can read more of that here. Basically, I epically failed when it came to reading books from the list so when I said in my 2013 bucket list post (here) I said I would read 100 books from that list.

I knew for a long time that the Shakespeare plays (majority of them) were free for the Kindle. What I didn't know was that they had a bunch of classics for free also. 

So I went crazy. Here's a list of everything I downloaded:

The War of the Worlds by H.G Wells

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

Paradist Lost by John Milton

The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles

The Odyssey by Homer and Alexander Pope

The Memoris of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

The Adventures of Sherlock Homes (Illustrated) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Around the World In 80 Days by Jules Verne

Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm

Dracula by Bram Stocker

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Tom Sawyer's Comrade by Mark Twain

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Persuasion by Jane Austen

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Shakespeare:

Othello

King Henry collection

King Richard II

Hamlet 

As You Like It

Twelfth Night

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Now you understand why I say my restraint ended. Despite the overload and knowing that not all of them are on the Rory Gilmore Challenge, I'm very excited to start head first into this collection.

I do have a question though: are you interested in seeing reviews for classics? I know that a lot of people read classics, but I don't seem many bloggers review them. I think I would do it anyway, but I just wanted your opinion on them.

Link me to your StS post and I'll pop on by!
