    Well...

    The bullring
    Literature
    A2
    AQA
    Measure for Measure, The General Prologue, comparative coursework on Jane Eyre and The House of Mirth.
    For AS, John Donne, A Streetcar Named Desire, Wuthering Heights and Coursework on Much Ado About Nothing.

    Feel free to chat to me about any of these if you feel like a natter. Everyone's reading lists look so much more exciting than mine! Except for The Great Gatsby, I really disliked that book when I read it. You're welcome to try and change my mind about it if you feel inclined.
