Hello Everyone! Once again, it's been months! I know, I know, but life is crazy, and so much excitement is happening in my life right now (details in a later post!). School is finally slowly winding down, I am down to one week left of my first year at university; which means only one more year to go before I FINALLY graduate with my Bachelors!!!! Work is crazy as ever. I really starting to question whether I want to stay there for another year, or possibly look for something else until I graduate next year. But besides that, there unfortunately has been no time for reading, mainly because when I actually do have a few moments to myself, I am too darn exhausted to even think about picking up a book! However, that does not mean books have not been on my mind! In fact, today I got the latest Meg Cabot book in the mail! Can't wait to dig into this one, hopefully latest by the end of next week, when all my classes are over! :) And then I also got to ...
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!

I read the series last year, and enjoyed them. I thought the story was definitely very original. I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
Hey Everyone! I finished another book! I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks. Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it. Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York. But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...
I waited for the whole VMAs for them to show it and then it was so short! :( meh. Looks good though.
ReplyDeleteI know! But the Hunger Games setting is EXACTLY how I imagined it! :)
