In My Reading Life

Last week, I finished Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson. This book is twisted, guys. It’s about a teenager who (allegedly) murdered a baby. The middle is too slow for me, but mostly I liked it. The end is nuts.

Then I listened to A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park. Unpopular opinion time: I thought it was kind of boring and predictable. It’s about a Korean boy who’s obsessed with learning how to make pots. I always struggle with books that focus on art. I had a hard time making myself care about pottery.

Then I read When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. I loved it! For most of the book, I was confused about where the story was going, but I got it in the end. Everything comes together perfectly. It's about a young girl who finds notes from the future.

Right now, I’m reading Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor. It’s okay so far. This novel is a beast, so I’m going to be reading it for a while.

In The Rest Of My Life

Five things that made me happy last week:

1. Dewey’s Readathon! I hope I got a lot of reading done. I’m writing this post on Friday, so nobody knows what the future holds.
2. I applied for one of my dream jobs. There’s probably a 0% chance that they’ll hire me, but at least I got to spend 3 thrilling days filling out the paperwork. Everybody loves paperwork, right?
3. I saw two movies: Brexit: The Uncivil War and The Meg. Neither of them are movies I’d watch again, but they entertained me for a while.
4. Game of Thrones stuff is EVERYWHERE. The new season is so close, yet so far away. I’m dying from impatience.
5. My giveaway is over! You don’t have to listen to me yammer on about it anymore! There were 683 entries, and the winner chose Caraval by Stephanie Garber. Thanks to everybody who entered!
