Moving To Wordpress..

So, that's it.. I'm officially moving to Wordpress soon. I just find it a more workable site and I would like a clean start anyway. And a chance to be more regular with posts. There isn't really much to say really.

Well, in case you would like to read some of my blogs.. Here is the Wordpress blog : http://cryscaralagh.wordpress.com/

My Tumblr account is much more fun: http://bittersweet-observings.tumblr.com/ And Tumblr is where I'm much more regular..

And Pinterest-ing is something you have to check out : http://pinterest.com/cryscaralagh/ That's my alley..:P

Hoping to continue where I left off here.. :)

The 2012 Victorian Reading Challenge!


Well, I think I've ignored my blog long enough and I wanted to start something which would compel me to sit and write something. So, I've stumbled onto this lovely reading challenge hosted by Laura's Reviews. So, here is the challenge in place.

The Victorian era encompasses everything from 1837 to 1901. And as part of this challenge, I'll try not to just restrict myself to books, but will try reviewing (as best as I can) movies, period adaptations and the like :P And well, my authors so chosen are:

January - The Bronte Sisters
February - E Nesbit
March - Lewis Carroll
April - Oscar Wilde
May - Rudyard Kipling
June - Anthony Trollope
July - George McDonald
August - Elizabeth Gaskell
September - George Eliot
October - Charles Dickens
November - William Thackersay
December - Robert & Elizabeth Browning

Well, this is the general author list I do want to get through. And I hope to read through some other books as well. Which are not specifically mentioned on the list.

So, begins the month of the Brontes now. I shall begin with:
1. The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall - Anne Bronte
2. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
3. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
4. Agnes Grey
5. Shirley - Charlotte Bronte

Well, let's get cracking :D
