The Mill on the Floss Review

Prepare yourselves. I remember my sister telling me the synopsis on this story oh, a decade ago, so I knew the siblings died, I couldn’t remember anything much else, just vague things like there was a love interest.

Perhaps I may do participate with another list after all. A more reasonable list . . . with more reviewable books. Anyway,… Continue reading 2017 Reading Challenges and Classics Club Spin 15
