Kelsi (essentiallybooked) | 751 comments 40 Books. Here's to hoping I read more before bed, and law school doesn't completely take over.

Kelsi (essentiallybooked) | 751 comments I dropped this down to 25 to be more reasonable with law school.

1. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2) by J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
5/5 Stars - Reread.

I adore Harry Potter, as I definitely was a party of the Harry Potter Generation. This book is an enjoyable, quick read, where the characters are still very much children and have yet to fully grasp the problems they are yet to face.

2. Eldest (The Inheritance Cycle, #2) by Christopher Paolini Eldest
3/5 Stars

Also, a quick Young Adult read, but not very original. It seethes with LOTR, which really bugs me. This one was a much slower read than the first.

3. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath The Bell Jar
5/5 Stars

A harrowing "memoir" of a woman's spiral downward into depression and mental illness. An instant classic, as it not only gives an honest depiction of what mental illness is like, but it is laced with feminism, and shows the barbarity of the mental health system in the 60s.
