Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

“He dashed his head against the knotted trunk; and, lifting up his eyes, howled, not like a man, but like a savage beast getting goaded to death with knives and spears.” -Emily Bronte


I recently finished reading Wuthering Heights for the first time. It came highly recommended by two of my family members. I’m still deciding on how much I liked this book. I didn’t quite love it, but I definitely want to read it again sometime in the future. I think this is one of those books that each time you read it you will find something new. I must warn you, if you haven’t heard of this book, it is tragic, dark and frustrating. Not everything ends in roses and rainbows. I give it 4 out of 5.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

This month's pick is "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind" by William Kamkwamba & Bryan Mealer

 
I’m really looking forward to this book, I chose it because it is inspirational and I’m feeling like I need to be inspired.  It’s a true story of a kid named William Kamkwamba, born in Malawi, Africa. Using an old science textbook, scrap metal, old tractor parts and other junk he sets out to build a windmill and a water pump. His ingenuity transforms a whole village and inspires people around the world.
