* I think I am officially having some sort of a winter avitaminosis. Or chronic tiredness, or something else similarly exciting X___x I want to sleep all the time, and having insomnia doesn’t help the matters. Ad during the yoga classes I feel dizzy because even the slightest physical activities seem to be too much :( And no, coffee doesn’t help a bit :P
* I think I have already mentioned numerous of times how much I love Nicholas Sparks and his books and how he writes human feelings and emotions and stuff. I hadn’t read all of them, but I think I crossed that 80% mark. He had good books, he had so-so books, but never before had I actually abandoned a book because I wanted to smack the main characters’ heads against the wall.
I did, however, dropped out of reading “At First Sight”. This book is a sequel to a slightly mysterious/paranormal story “True Believer” that I picked up some time last summer. It wasn’t brilliant but it was okay, and the mystery was great because normally N.Sparks’ books are life/romance thing. So yeah, I think I liked it. “At First Sight” though was a huge disappointment from the start. Okay, the disappointment probably settled in at the end of “True Believer”, but I think I kind of hoped it wouldn’t be transferred into the next book. So, anyway, after a few pages I couldn’t stand the suffering, and “At First Sight” went to the never-to-be-read list.
* I really, really like “The Daughter of Smoke and Bone”, though. I wish I had more time for reading it but so far it’s really interesting. It’s fantasy/paranormal story, and it’s beautifully written. I know it’s the first book in the series, so I’m reluctant to read it faster because I know that the next one will only be released in September, but I do recommend it if you like that kind of stuff :)
* Also, I am now reading “The Fault In Our Stars” by John Green, and I secretly wish that every single author in the world was as amazing as him. The book is sad and funny at the same time. It’s about the girl with stage 4 cancer, and her struggles, and yet it is full of witty comments and optimism even when there is no hope. I can see a flood of tears coming at some point. Not yet, but they probably will.
* My life is boring, not much to share these days. It’s all about work and yoga and sleep and lack of sleep and my worries about school because I want to go so badly … so, stay tuned :)
