So this book was one hell of a ride. I finished it in a day, and it's taken me quite some time to process the book. Immediately after finishing the book, I didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. But after a bit of reflection, I really loved the book. Did it end the way I wanted/hoped? No. But, it's a dystopian future. So things weren't going to ( Read more... )

Over the course of 24 hours, I managed to finish re-reading Goblet of Fire and then started AND finished Mockingjay. About 550 pages in all. My brain? Is fried. FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIED ( Read more... )

Another Harry Potter book down on my way towards re-reading Deathly Hallows ( Read more... )

And so begins my annual attempt at my Harry Potter re-read. Now, I can't just pick up, say, Order of the Phoenix and read it out of the blue. No. I have to work my way up to that book because I'm weird like that. And I've been meaning to re-read Deathly Hallows for a couple of years now, but just haven't worked my way up that far yet. So here's

I decided to re-read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins to gear up for the release of Mockingjay, the third and final book in the series ( Read more... )

Aw, look at me. Plugging away with any sort of hopes of reading 52 books this year.

Anyway, I'm in full re-read mode right now. Next in line was the second book in the Percy Jackson series, The Sea of MonstersTruth be told, when I first read this book, I was *thisclose* to giving up on the series. I liked the concept well enough, but sometimes the ( Read more... )

First of all, if you have an account at GoodReads, friend me!

Second of all, I read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I actually enjoyed Angels & Demons as well as the Da Vinci Code, so I was looking forward to this book. But I ended up being pretty disappointed. All of the twists and turns were rather predictable so the "pager turner" factor was ( Read more... )

I totally *love* the Percy Jackson series, and I've been meaning to re-read the books. Especially since watching the movie (don't get me started ( Read more... )

So, I'm still attempting to reach my goal of 52 books in one year. I'm rather behind on the pace, but whatever. I'm looking to reread the Percy Jackson series next, and that will help get me back on pace.

Anyway. NeverwhereI honestly have no idea if I enjoyed this book or not. I picked the most unfortunate times to read, because half the time I ( Read more... )

So my goal this year is to read 52 books (not necessarily *new* books. I don't think I can go a whole year without reading a certain series about a boy wizard. And possibly the Percy Jackson series. So re-reads totally count). That averages out to about a book a week.

The first book that I read this year was The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. So ( Read more... )
