1) I'm currently reading my 80th book this year. Well, more accurately, am puttering away at 80, 81, and 82 at the same time. I have an awful habit of keeping a few books on the go at one time.
My reading list has finally shrunk some (PRAISE GOD), and only has 51 books left on it. I was even a good girl and showed all kinds of restraint -- there ( Read more... )

1) Discovered a supersneakyawesome way to scoop up five more icons. Hence why you see this wonderful new "Divergent" icon here, which I suppose makes this a gratuitous icon post of a sort.
THREE DAYS UNTIL 'INSURGENT' ZOMG. DIVERGENT NATION REPRESENT. *flails*
We're supposed to get the boxes of it at work today, and I'll get to drool over them until ( Read more... )

TO DO:

1. Clean the damn house. It needs it.
2. Continue plugging away at Katt's favour. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: if you enjoyed her story "D'Ancanto", you ain't seen nothing yet.
3. Pick up Mum's birthday gift. Or at least see if it's in store and determine if I should just buy it online.
4. Finish "The Professor" by Charlotte Bronte. I'm ( Read more... )

TITLE: Observant
FANDOM:  Divergent
CHARACTERS: Four, Tris
RATING:  Low Teen [Language, Violence]
SUMMARY:  Would you know courage if you saw it?
AUTHOR’S NOTES: Because this book absolutely OWNS me right now, and 'Insurgent' is being released in just over a week.

1) Eleven days until the release of 'Insurgent' by Veronica Roth.
I'm sitting here at my desk, tapping my foot impatiently. The book is an SOS -- Strict On Sale -- which means that it can't be sold AT ALL before the day the embargo is scheduled to be broken. Like, we can't even open the box until then. We haven't received the box yet; they generally ( Read more... )

I'm absolutely NOT counting down the days until the release of "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth.
52 days. And I didn't just do another re-read of "Divergent". Nope.

Speaking of, I need a "Divergent" icon like breathing. I need an Avengers icon of some kind too. Or numerous Avengers ones, because I'm fairly sure the awesome that is the Avengers cannot be ( Read more... )

1) I finished "Divergent" last night.
Let's say that some of my faith in YA lit has been restored, and leave it at that.

2) Has anybody read "The Hunger Games"?
"Divergent" is something my coworkers recommend to folks who enjoyed that series. I've been warned that the writing in "The Hunger Games" is crap, but the plot is worth it. My problem is ( Read more... )
