Strange, this blogging about books thing is becoming somewhat regular. I blame the shitful excuses for fiction I've been reading lately. Most books of late tend to be just kinda 'meh', so there's not as much need to rant or rave, but this last trip to the library just whacked me over the head with crappy, it seems. First the Mercy series, now Blue ( Read more... )

Wow. I just noticed that I didn't use my reading icon for the last book post I did. WHAT THE HELL, SELF, WHY MAKE IT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT? /random

Anyway, I finally finished the three Mercy Thompson books I got from the library thanks to a read-a-thon after work last night. Yeah...it didn't end on a high note.

( Blood Bound - holy shit, did Mercy just do something? )

So I actually finished two whole books recently (it's been a "down" period for readage lately), Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Moon Called. Both left me with mixed feelings~

( Percy Jackson, the children's book. seriously. )

Um, yeah, gonna have to skip this one, lol. I don't have any photos of me from 10 years ago, they're all in my mom's photo album... Which is in her house, lol. So yeah... NEXT!

( day 02 → your favourite movie )

it's kind of astonishing to me lately how little I have my computer on. I mean, back in the day, I didn't do anything but internet, and even at the last house, I left the compy on all the time. Now, I'll go days at a time without touching it. It's weird. Anyway, this is basically just a crappy introduction so I can say sorry for not keeping up with ( Read more... )

So I've been on a reading kick lately, and I fiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnallly finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, after having it for...two and a half months? I got it while David was here in August... anyway! I don't know why it took so long to finish it, I like it just fine, and the concept just rocked my socks, since P&P is my favorite book, and I ( Read more... )

Have I ever mentioned I love Supernatural? Probably. It just gets better with every season though. I didn't think I would dig the Sam/Dean split, but as long as I get my weekly dose of Dean, I'm good. I love how Dean can be dealing with the 'last night on earth' situation with an angel, supposedly the most holy and pure of creatures, and decide ( Read more... )

So I started reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth this morning at about 10 AM, and after various interruptions and errands and such, finished at about 1AM. I've been wanting to read it for a few months, after noticing the pretty cover in Barnes and Nobles, and reading the oh-so-familiar summary:

In Mary's world, there are simple truths ( Read more... )

So I finished Vampire Diaries: The Return: Nightfall, which has possibly the longest title in the history of young adult books. Now, I've been an LJ Smith fan since I was in middle school, so I was pretty excited when I found out that this had been released (*cough* even though I *just* found this out, as I had long mistaken it for a reprint of one ( Read more... )
