Mary Shelley was an interesting person. Her father was an atheist and encouraged her to adhere to his anarchist political beliefs. She had a rich education and when she was a teenager, she was the mistress, then wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. That meant that she had many social connections with prominent writers...

After last Friday's break from this series, we're back with another claim, though I hadn't seriously heard of this accusation until a few months ago. Did I know that some people claimed that the Bible is evil because of that gosh darn patriarchy? Yes. Did I take it seriously? No. I thought it was just... Continue Reading →
Of all of Jane Austen's books, I think Northanger Abbey gets the least recognition. If it hadn't been for the fact that my copies of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are both annotated, I probably never would've heard about it, much less read it. However, here we are. I read Northanger Abbey and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I did one of these posts. The last OG story series was either The Tale of Myfanwy back in December or The Spotlight (which was hilarious). Thus, with this month's theme of exploring stories set around the Regency era, I figured that I should post a short story that I... Continue Reading →
It's the last week of Black History Month before we transition into Women's History Month, so it's time to talk about a book that combines those two factors: supposed racism and a good female protagonist (as well as being written by a woman). If you're tired of hearing me talk about banned books, don't worry.... Continue Reading →
I'm a junior in high school (yes, I know I'd stop saying "I'm in high school," but this is relevant to the illustration I'm about to give you). That said, one of the mandatory courses I have to take this semester is economics, a class that I initially dreaded taking, but eventually found to be... Continue Reading →
Last week for my American Literature course, I read and finished Booker T. Washington's autobiography Up from Slavery, which is the story of how he grew up, was able to go to school, and eventually founded the famous Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). In my eyes, this book is completely unproblematic. It's his raw story... Continue Reading →
Continuing with my game of "Ban or Unban," we're going to be taking a look today at Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the much more famous sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Interestingly, part of why this book is so popular is because it hasn't just been banned today, but it was... Continue Reading →
Happy Black History Month! Why we need a month dedicated to people based on the color of their skin, I have no idea, but here we are. For this month, I've decided to play a little game with my book reviews that I call "Ban or Unban" where I look at some books that have... Continue Reading →
As most of you know by now, I'm homeschooled and the curriculum that I use, while being good at teaching me things like history, math, science, English, etc. leans towards Christianity and includes reading for understanding the faith and stuff like that. Unfortunately, however, the lady who now runs the curriculum is very much into... Continue Reading →
