I suppose I should be honest with you-- book reviews were never really my thing. I always feel like people would look at them and say "too criticizing" or "WAY TOO MUCH FANGIRLING" or "this girl doesn't get it at all". Not to mention the fact that some book reviews I just can't read because it just happens to be way too long and thought out while to me the book was just. . . meh.
So to make up for my absence I shall review the books I've been reading.
In three sentences or less.
OH YEAH I'M ALSO NOT REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT I'M WRITING HERE SO MAYBE SPOILERS?
ALSO I USE PROFANITY AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO DO SO. YEAH LITTLE KIDS, YOU'D BETTER RUN.
AUDIOBOOKS (great for when you want to sew something without feeling like you're wasting your time failing)--
THE HEIR, by Kiera Cass
Better than expected by this one ranting review, prominent trope of "girl is bitch at first but starts to get better". Felt less awful about the whole Selection thing getting continued and am glad I do not have to listen to America whine. Also laughing at Maxon being like a lost dog all the time with his wife and also that one time he was sobbing into Aspen's chest.
WE ARE ALL MADE OF MOLECULES, by Susin Nielsen (I'm sorry but I have never met a "susin" in my life okay I'm done)
That girl got what she deserved. . . honestly was not even a memorable book I barely recall the stuff that happened. Liked the different references to theories and such. Continued to add to the conjecture that most boys named Jared turn out to be white trash.
BOOKS THAT WERE NOT AUDIO BOOKS SO BASICALLY NORMAL BOOKS
(in no order whatsoever I'm just looking at the ones on my bed)
BIRDWING, by Rafe Martin
Glad to read some fairytale variation after all of that dystopian rage that has finally blown over (we're into the modern day contemporary love stories now though. . . sigh). Kind of nice but unrealistic how everything just happened to tie up in the end, although it's what you would expect from an adaption from a fairy tale where they live happily ever after. Moral of the story is never give up and also get hella swol.
ROOMS, by Lauren Oliver
Lauren Oliver yet again pulls off that "NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS" sort of dealy-deal. Love the writing style and different perspectives. As always all her characters are messed up and their lives are shit.
BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, by Robyn Schneider
It's her first book for a reason. Laughed at all the white kids trying hard and getting amazed at precalc and 4.0's.
ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL, by Jesse Andrews
Another first book. Disappointed and not understanding why so many people want to read it. This kid needs to get them gains and get a life cuz the one he has reminds me of some bland goopy shit I don't want to touch.
WE SHOULD HANG OUT SOMETIME, by Josh Sundquist
I really loved the layout of this book, with the investigations. Will do the same if I end up with no relationship by the time I'm 25. The moral of the story was not really hinted at and the sudden realization was sudden to me too.
HOLD ME CLOSER, by David Levithan
Ah, Tiny Cooper's absolutely fabulous musical- I don't remember much of Will Grayson, Will Grayson besides the general plot and the whole song thing with Jane that made me so angry but overall was a pretty pleasant and fast read. Also-- Janey in the original, but Djane in the revised script aka this book. I almost died.
OTHER THINGS BESIDES NORMAL BOOKS AND AUDIOBOOKS THAT I HAVE READ
THIS ONE SEWING PATTERN I TOOK FROM MAH GRAMMAH'S SEWING ROOM, by Newlook
I read the instructions and traced the patterns and I made a dress. Pretty good read, if I do say so myself. Things came together in the end.
THAT'S EVERYTHING I REMEMBER READING IN THE PAST FEW WHATEVERS SO YEAH. ALSO I FINALLY UPDATED SO HURRAH.
