Depression Dialogue

After a long morning of painting I thought I would read one of my favorites.

Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. OK BUT DID WE THINK WE WERE GETTING OUT OF THIS WITHOUT BRINGING UP MY FAVORITE SERIES! I loved these books so much and I have read them so many times. I am so in love with Tally and Shay and their stories. I love how Westerfeld talked about the skewed ideas of beauty in this dystopian society that I even see today. Ok, but read them. 

Day 8:
Eight Quotes from my favorite books: 
All from the Uglies Series 
1. “What you do, what you think, makes you beautiful.”
“The early summer sky was the color of cat vomit.” (This is the best beginning to a book ever, it’s so funny to me.) 
“The flowers were so beautiful, so delicate and unthreatening, but they choked everything around them.” 
“Doing what you’re supposed to do is always boring. I can’t imagine anything worse than being required to have fun.”
“When she awoke, the world was on fire.”
“Perhaps the logical conclusion of everyone looking the same is everyone thinking the same.”
“Shay sometimes talked in a mysterious way, like she was quoting the lyrics of some band no one else listened to.”
“Maybe they didn’t want you to realize that every civilization has its weakness. There’s always one thing we depend on. And if someone takes it away all that’s left is some story in a history class.” 
Favorite OPTs:
My favorite OPT’s are Jack Force and Schuyler Van Allen from the Blue Bloods series and Alice and Jasper Cullen from Twilight

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. These books are so nostalgic for me because I read them in middle school when the movies were coming out. I remember going to the small-town movie theater on opening night and seeing the movie with all my friends. 

At the end of The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis when Alex saves Branley by shooting her attacker. Alex is definitely the kind of character you rooted for even though you should not have. 

Molly Peskin-Suso from The Upside of the Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
