What I just finished reading
Allegiant by Veronica Roth
The last book of the Divergent trilogy. I found it mildly disappointing.
I didn't like the explanation that Roth gave for how society was.
I found it, for lack of a better word...hokey.
I enjoyed Insurgent a whole lot more.
What I'm reading now
My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales by Kate Bernheimer
I love fairy tales and these are new stories based on old characters, themes and tales.
I've only read about 4-5 of the stories so far. I liked a couple of them.
A couple of them were so-so.
One of them, I really didn't like. I found it lacking.
I just hope things pick up soon.
What I'm reading next
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
I've been wanting to read this for quite some time now.
In fact, I've already started reading it. I read the first chapter just because I didn't have my book with me.
I kinda want to put the other book down and keep reading this!
I didn't put up a 2014 Reading Challenge entry last month.
Last year my goal was to read 45 books, but I didn't meet it.
I only managed to read 33 books.
I was happy with that, because I didn't think I would get that far.
I managed to read 6 books within 7 days while in Germany.
I did a lot of reading while I was there.
Anyway, this year I decided to challenge myself to read 35 books.
I figured reading 33 books last year was a challenge.
So, 35 books should be a challenge this year.
So far, I have completed 4 books.
