My Little Black Classics Collection

When I first saw these adorable little books in Waterstones, I knew I was going to need to buy a few..... 12 books later, and I think I finally have all the ones I want. (Well that is until I go into Waterstones again and see another one that I want!)
However, if I ever think that maybe twelve books from one collection is too many, I remind myself that they are only 80p each! 80p!! When else will you get top notch literature for less than a pound? Better grab the opportunity while its there.

I haven't read all of these yet, but so far my favourites have been:

1. A pair of silk stockings by Kate Chopin.
A bought this one because The Awakening by Chopin (which I have since read) was on my to-read list, and I wanted a little introduction to the author. This short story collection is great! The stories are short, yet beautifully written and each one is thought provoking and poignant.

2. Lord Arthur Savile's Crime by Oscar Wilde
All I have to say about this was that it was really funny! Anyone who loved The Importance of Being Earnest will enjoy this.

3. Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti
This is a lovely introduction into Rossetti's poetry and is a lovely collection of beautiful poems.


Thats all for my first blog post! Please feel free to comment any post suggestions!
