The White Stag

Goodreads Says:    For generations the tribes of Huns and Magyars had moved relentlessly westward, obeying the voices of their pagan gods, which compelled them to follow the elusive white stag to their promised homeland. They swept Europe, all the while pursuing their vision of the stag. Their leader was called Attila, and the land Hungary. Here is the epic story of their tribal migration and their fierce leader—known to us even today.









My Thoughts:

-    When I picked this up from the library, I was hoping that it was going to be somewhat interesting, but if it wasn't, at least it was really short! 

-    You know those weird mythology stories where weird stuff happens? That is what this story is like.

-    I tried to like it. I really did. Sadly, I was bored. At least the book was under 100 pages, so I finished it quickly.

The Collected Poems

My Thoughts:

-    I picked this up because some of Sara Teasdale's poems were in Falling For You, and I wanted to read more.

-    I've never read a book of poems before. This was an interesting and enlightening experience for me. 

-    There is something beautiful about Teasdale's way with words. 

-    Not all of the poems made sense of spoke to me. Most of them were eh, but some of them really spoke to me, and there was everything in between.

-    Some of my favorite poems were Guenevere, A Winter Night, I Shall Not Care, The Unseen, If Death is Kind, Thoughts, and Alone.
