Bookdate!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all well and taking care. 

So a couple of things to mention today, obviously first of all - as you've probably already guessed - I'm here to give an update on Bookster's Reading Corner; which has now been completed! 😍


Over the past few days, we've been hard at work redoing the entire room, as it hadn't been changed much since my childhood. Now, I'm happy to say I finally have space which is mine and I can comfortably work in. 




Alongside this bookdate, I also have to tell you that my assignments are now over! So except work that I'm choosing to post here from my essays, I will be looking for any topics to discuss that would make interesting conversations. If you have any book recommendations or theory critics that you would like Bookster to cover do let me know in the comments and I'll see what I can do...

But otherwise, stay safe, stay alert, and keep reading.

Book Review - Brave New World

Dystopian fiction is often one of the classic genres many bookworms know and love. The capability to comment socially, culturally and politically on a fictional world - that at times reflects on our own - is a talent of authors that is without a doubt borderline magical; ultimately evidential of their skill and awareness of life. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is no exception, and certainly deserves its classification of a timeless Dystopian staple we all need on our shelves.  Admittedly, I was sceptical to start Brave New World as I knew many consider it one of the great fictional works, similar to George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm -  two texts I already adore - and I was anxious about taking on a world that is already well established in the critical community. That being said I was not disappointed. From the language itself to the developments of character and situations, it's a masterpiece in the best sense.  So let's start with what was most interesting about...

Welcome to Bookster!

Well hello there everyone!  Allow me to welcome you to the Bookster Blog. Your one-stop shop for any book-related discussion. To give you some context as to who I am and the nature of this blog I'd like to dedicate this first post to a 'subtle' introduction.  (I'll try my best) I am a current English Literature student at the University of Roehampton and plan on using this platform to open up discussions about how texts you may never have read, or know all to well, can relate to our modern lives. Although this is has come from an assignment 😑, I intend to help bring authors, texts, themes, characters etc into the everyday. I've learnt so much so far and there's so much more to come.  So join me on this journey! 😎 Grab a cuppa and we'll take this metaphorical bull by the intimidatingly large horns. I'll see you there.

Bookdate! - Welcome Back!

Hello everybody! Welcome back to Bookster Blog! It’s been a while since we last spoke. So, let’s jump straight into updates and what's been going on. Originally, I had planned to be active across my 2nd year at University; giving regular updates on the course and content. However, I’ve found that to be unrealistic and instead have decided that, during the summer, I’ll be taking you on a little academic journey on my projects from this year.  It’s been nice to have a little rest from posting, but, you may (or may not be) glad to hear that I will be back for the next few weeks! Think of this as a sneak preview for what’s to come.  If you remember the first few posts on Bookster, the blog was initially started as a result of an assignment. Now, over the next eight weeks, as a part of one of my modules this term, I’ll be updating Bookster to answer and debate some topics that have been weighing on my noggin specifically concerning Literature and Media. These will involve such conc...
