We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

The RavenThe Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this pretty little book was the Edgar Allan Poe look-alike competition of Stars Hollow on Gilmore Girls.

The first thing that came to my mind when I started reading this book was: "What the hell is this? Wordsworth mixed with Walter de la Mare?:"

The first thing that came to my mind once I had read it was: "Why didn't I give Poe's poetry a chance before?"

Of course, I had read a few like Eldorado, Annabel Lee and Lenore before, but some like A Dream Within a Dream, To my Mother and the famous, to-be-underlined-because-that's-what-makes-Poe-"Poe" The Raven came as absolute, spine-chilling and heart-warming surprises.

It's an anthology to be treasured forevermore!
