March Wrap-up!!

So this has been a pretty crappy month for me...My bird died, my cat died and my other cat got sick (she's doing better now)...and the books...meh. I only finished two books this month and started another one...


A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin:  So, I started this book in February, but I finished it in the second week of March..I think? This book too me forever to read, not because it is a hefty book, but because there wasn't as much action in it as there was in A Game of Thrones. But it was still really good. I think I gave it 3.5 or 4 stars? I am hoping the next book it better. I want more action!! \>w</


Allegiant by Veronica Roth:  Then I started this book....I didn't really know what to expect from this book. A lot of people hated it because of the ending and a lot of people enjoyed it. Now..I didn't really mind the ending...it was the rest of the book that sucked. NOTHING FRIGGEN HAPPENED!!!!!!!! I was so bloody bored, that by the time the book was done and shiz was going down, I didn't really care....I was just glad it was done....-_____- That's no bueno. I think I gave it 3 stars...but I think I might change it to 2...



I am only 3 chapters into this book, Beyonders: A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull and I'm not really sure how I am feeling about it so far...it's....a very odd book so far. Very. Odd. And very describe-y. Not a huge fan of that...but it's just getting started, so I'm going to give it a chance still.

Well, That's all...a very short wrap-up. My TBR is coming up very soon and a book haul. Also, a very special (to me, at least) VHS haul! All of them are in Korean!~ WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! And no. I don't speak Korean. XD

Bye my loveys!~ <3 Chuu!~

October Wrap-Up

So this is my first ever wrap up/TBR entry. I like to set goals for myself, and I thought this would be a fun challenge for me! I'm gonna try to do these at the end/beginning of every month. So let's get this party started!~

First off, I wanted to say that I am NOT a fast reader. At all. I'm a bit dyslexic so it does take me a bit of time to get through some things. Also I'm a 5th year in college...so I don't really have much time for pleasure reading. But I do what I can!

So I made it through 4 books in the month of October. That is a lot of books for me! I'm so proud of myself!


The first book I read was The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. I flew through this monster book. I absolutely LOVE this author and how he mixes action and comedy and sadness so well! He makes you wanna cry or bite your nails and then makes you burst out laughing at his witty characters. Genius. So many feels in this book. What a cliff hanger. I shan't go into detail, but I, supposedly, have House of Hades (book 4) waiting for me at home (as a birthday present) but I can't get it until Thanksgiving....bullocks.....*sigh* Needless to say I will be reading House of Hades in December. (5 stars)


Antigoddess by Kendare Blake.  After being on a HUGE Greek mythology kick, I needed another high dose of Greeks...So I pulled this out! I had heard it was pretty gory (which it was) so I thought it was also appropriate for Halloween! This book...Oh my gosh. This book. I loved it soooooooooooo hard! It made me friggen cry (I was also severely sleep deprived, so that may have been a reason I cried...but I'm going to say it was the book)! This book is full of action, gore, feels, and sarcasm. All of my favorite things. I am soooooooo super hella stoked for the second book (which comes out NEXT December...a whole year I have to wait....Y^Y). I also want to read more of Kendare Blake's books. I hear Anna Dressed in Blood is really good too. (5 Stars)


Divergent by Veronica Roth.  This was actually the last book I read in October. I read it in 2 days (which is really fast for me). I know I'm one of the last people in existence to read this book....But wow my gosh I totally get why it's so popular! It's bloody brilliant!! I finished it, and then I had no idea what to do with myself. I had a 3 day reading slump because I was just too stunned to function. The action was great, the characters were great (Tris and Four!! <3) and I LOVE that it takes place in dystopian Chicago!! I live near Chicago, so it's really nice to be able to recognize the landmarks Tris is mentioning. I feel like nobody ever writes about Chicago..or the Midwest. It's always a coast or the South. ^^'' Anywho. I digress. I loved this book to death and I'm curious about the movie..I saw the trailer, and I'm not going to lie....I'm kinda nervous about it...We'll see what happens. (5 Stars)


Uglies- I hauled this book not too long ago and I was soooooooooo super excited to have found it for 89 cents at Goodwill. It's an odd copy of Uglies (and they spelled Scott Westerfeld's name wrong on the spine..They put Westerfield. Haha), it's super beat up, and someone has written "yo" on the top of it, but all the pages are there! Haha! I enjoyed this book. I thought the writing was a bit childish for a young adult book. Also I had a hard time getting into the story because I couldn't connect with the characters. I thought Tally was a sheep and Shay was an unconvincing rebel. But I grew to like Tally and the action parts were pretty entertaining (no pun intended...ish. XD). I'm curious to see where it's going to go. I just ordered Pretties today off of Amazon.com for 79 cents, so that's cool. (4 1/2 stars)


Well that's everything! I just ordered 4 more books off of Amazon.com (one was 79 cents the other three were 1 cent! What a bargain!!!). Maybe one of those will be in my November wrap-up!~ I am very excited for this month and I can't wait to cross some of these books off of my TBR list!
