My 2 Truths + A Lie
- I’ve read The Infernal Devices, The Mortal Instruments, and The Dark Artifices, but none of the short story collections.
- With exactly one exception, I’ve read every book that was assigned for class, without resorting to summaries or SparkNotes.
- My favorite classic novel is Jane Eyre.
» THE LIE IS… (click to show)
#1! Middle school/early high school was my Shadowhunters phase, and while I’ve reread TMI and TID a few times each, as well as The Bane Chronicles, once the show came out I was a little burned out on the fandom so I haven’t read TDA or the newer short stories. On the other hand, I’ve never resorted to SparkNotes, even for Shakespeare, but I skimmed Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. Classics tend to be hit or miss in terms of enjoyment, but Jane Eyre was a rare love-at-first-read.Did you guess the lie? Let me know!

haha I was hoping “with exactly one exception” wouldn’t give it away! and no, I’m definitely not a great student in a lot of ways (and I’ve definitely been tempted to skim or SparkNotes several other required reads!) but I could never pass up the chance to show off my original insights in class, because I was (and still am!) a huge know-it-all 😅

I guessed correctly, huzzah! I did resort to SparkNotes exactly once… for Grapes of Wrath. I hated that book with the fiery passions of hell and ragequit after the turtle chapter.

🎉 and YES grapes of wrath was terrible!!! my teacher actually wrote up her own chapter summaries based on what we needed to know, and even made a list of chapters we could skip 😂 I have a feeling she wouldn’t have included it if it wasn’t in the department-wide curriculum.
