Wuthering Heights and updates
So, I finally finished Wuthering Heights. Seriously, that book is hard to read! I have realized that since I started reading, I'm remembering things better, so that's a plus. I was working on losing weight, but then I got sick. I don't eat the best when I'm not sick, so i eat even worse when I don't feel good. Hopefully when I get over it all I can get back on track. I also tried to make rolls the other day. I definitely did not let them rise long enough. They are extremely dense. So, I'll try again some other time. I may try and actual loaf of bread next time though.

Alice In Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass

I read Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass. They were together in one book. It was pretty fast to read, but weird. A lot of the elements in the Disney movie were from Through the Looking Glass. I think it was a pretty good book and wouldn't mind reading it again.
Now I'm working on Wuthering Heights, which is really tough to understand.
