This book!!! So I got roped into working on New Years Eve...gross...anyways, I grabbed this book to take with me because I knew it would be dead. Seriously! Who works out on New Years Eve?! I was right, there was like no one there, so I got a really good chunk of this book read.  It was a really easy read, and it was really good! I really enjoyed it! I strongly believe in fate/destiny and that is the whole theme of this book! An old King tells the main character Santiago “When you really want something to happen, the whole universe will conspire so that your wish comes true.” Everything worked out for this kid! It’s true, the treasure he went searching for ended up being hidden where the story began, but his journey is totally worth the read! READ IT!!

This book was weird.  It was really good, but still weird! I work at a gym where I am encouraged to bring my phone and/or a book for when all my cleaning is done. I am constantly asked what I’m reading, is it a good book or what’s it about? The day I took this picture Mitch (nicest kid, great butt) asked me what it was about with a “let me guess…he grows horns!?….then…?” THEN everyone is compelled to tell him the truth! Which he uses to his advantage to solve the rape and murder of his girlfriend. To that he said “Sounds weird. I don’t read.” That’s alright Mitch, instead of reading everyday, you spend that time at the gym working on your beautiful body. (Another perk of working at a gym….muscles) Anyways, I’m not really sure how I feel about this ending, it wasn’t a happy type ending, but it also wasn’t unhappy? Almost everyone is dead…but in a good way?

This book style was not really my thing, it has multiple narrators telling the same thing from different points of view. Which is fine, except that is wasn't in chronological order. It jumped all over the place, the same scenario would re appear 3 or 4 chapters later and I would be like "WTF we're back here again!?" So I had to figure that shit out myself. I'm still not convinced that I got it right. Because of this I had a hell of a time trying to figure out the point....The only thing I know for sure is that Colonel Cathcart is a giant dick! This whole book experience just wasn't enjoyable! However it did get better after chapter 35, sort of.

I busted out this series Valentine's/Family Day weekend. Since boys apparently don't want to play with me I have to keep myself entertained, and I had no problem with these books!!  I loved Loved LOVED book 1 and 2 and I was finished them by Saturday night. So at this point I'm thinking to myself "Sweet I have 2 more days to finish Allegiant!" (Monday was also a holiday) Anyhoo, that plan didn't play out. I really did not enjoy Allegiant and I didn't actually finish it until about Wednesday. I mean it wasn't terrible, but I was starting to feel that by that point the story lines were just repeating themselves. Four and Tris are happy and cute. Then someone does something stupid, then Tris and Four get in a fight, then one or both of them do something stupid...again, then Tris saves the day and everything is happy again. (Now don't get me wrong, this part of the story isn't the only important part, but it's the part I care about the most.) We all know how I love a good ending right?  This series did not have a good ending! Yes Tris saved the day, and no one is part of an experiment anymore, and everyone is living their own lives, and happy for the most part. But was it really necessary to kill off Tris?! What is wrong with a serious maim? Or some sort of lasting disability? At least she would be alive!  Four is so sad and it just pissed me off!!

Let's get started!! #divergent #wine

Operation stay in bed all day and read. CHECK ✔

 I LOVED this book!  I was so excited to read this, and I was not disappointed! I saw the movie forever ago and I remember really liking it. But for the life of me I can't remember what happens. This book is amazing! There are a lot of characters and I did get a little confused sometimes, but they so kindly included a list of all the characters with little description in the front of the book. Thank goodness for that!!

...All of them.

Ate a hand full of chips, and drank an iced capp…that’s it…I have a problem…

City Of Heavenly Fire took me the longest to read. I don't really know why either, it was a good book, and it was really big, which is love, but life happened and I just didn't feel like reading much for like 2 months! The way this series was wrapped up was very well done! I may have shed a few tears when everything went down in the demon realm, so much death, and then the crap that went down with Simon, but the epilogue gave me enough happies to not be pissed, I still want more! Which is good, because there will be more! She has a series coming out following some characters she introduced in book 6, as well and one for Magnus, and one for Simon! I just hope that the next series will be as good as the Infernal Devices because they were the better series, even if this one has the better characters.

Ok you know what!? This is absurd! 305 of 665 pages I made it through and 10 months later, and you know what!? Fuck this forever! I QUIT!

If owning a house means I can't buy a handful of God damn books, then I don't want it! The house Gods can take it back, I'll go back to living in my parents attic for the rest of my God damn life!

Friend: Not this again...
