BOOK HAUL

HAHAH is it annoying how i use cap lock so easily?

anyways i got four book i ordered from amazon on friday. whenever i order book i read about a hundred reviews on the book while they're getting shipped to me. do you guys do that? i just get so dangg excited. ahhah even my friends know when i ordered book cause all i say all day long is "IM SO EXCITED FOR MY BOOOKS!" and they goo "we know -___-" woops i mean i think all my fellow booknerds can understand. plus i am not a patient person at all, so that makes it all the more harderr. i mean yepp.

sorry that was a long intro. ANYWAYS i got these three books:
  • What happened to goodbye by Sarah Dessen.
I've already read this and i did thoroughly enjoyed it. this book is basically about a girl named McLean who moves around alot with her father. (her father is a restraunt consaltant and her parents are divorced and she chose to live with her papa) In every town she goes to she creates a new identity for herself. but in the fourth town she moves to because of a slip of the mouth she accidently tells people her real name and has no cohice but to live her true self. but by this time she doesn't know who she really is. But then she meets some friend and a cute guy (DUUHHHHH) and of course everything gets better. anyways it was a very fun read.
  • Divergent by Veronica Roth
I LOVED THIS. man i really did. i'm pretty sure most of you guys know what this is about by now. and like everyone has said it is pretty amazing. plus im mindblown that such a young author can create such an awesome book.
  • City of Fallen Angels
I haven't read this yet. and i dont think i will be for a long time. i mean gathering from what i read on blogs this book is more enjoyable to read if you read clockwork angel beforehand. so im planning to order it read it and then read COFA. plus another huge reason im not reading this yet is that well again according to the people of the internet this ends in a cliffhanger. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i mean i totally get why authors use cliffhangers, but cant they have some empathy for the unpatient readers like me. T.T plus the next book in this series isn't coming untill next year. even clockwork prince is coming out in december. mann i dont know if i can wait that long.  oh well i guess ill have to make doo.



Anyways i gotta stop procrastinating. its 12:22 a.m and i havent even started my homework. sorry mom.<3

Lisztomania - Phoenix

LISTEN NOWW

oh man I love songs that feel so carefree and crazy. I first heard this song at my dentist while listening to pandora (a genius invention by the wayy) and i instantly fell in love. i gotta say i have a soft spot for songs that are not very known and have an indie feeling to it.

Music is something i am postive i would have a hard time living without it. i mean i know i could fully function and be capable of living without it,but every great movie has a great soundtrack and without my music i probably wouldnt be able to control my spazz attacks (which are quite frequent). Anyways do you guys have any music recommendations?

P.S i gotta admit i had to use dictionary.com to check my spelling. gosh i feel like a dumbasss.

Synopsis: Since her parents’ bitter divorce, McLean and her dad, a restaurant consultant, have been on the move-four towns in two years. Estranged from her mother and her mother’s new family, McLean has followed her dad in leaving the unhappy past behind. And each new place gives her a chance to try out a new persona: from cheerleader to drama diva. But now, for the first time, McLean discovers a desire to stay in one place and just be herself, whoever that is. Perhaps Dave, the guy next door, can help her find out.                             
Pages: 402

When i first read the synopsis for this book i was extremely intrigued. First, because I always wished that i could restart my life like McLean does in this book. Second, i am a big fan of Sarah Dessen and her books always excite me.

Anyways i gotta say i love the plot of this book. i always wanted to move away just to make myself over. a new personality, a new look, a new start. Well this is what McLean does in this book and i loved it. In this book McLean tries to follow her normal routine of creating a new self, making friends, and then leaving. However, things don't go the way she wants. she fails to live as a fake version of herself and ends up living as her true self. this of course is a new thing to McLean and feels award to her, But with the help of some new friends and a cute guy(duhh) she learns what it feels like to be yourself.

I really liked Dave. A boy genius turned awkward social turtle. i love the way him and McLean meet and everything about their relationship. Man, I really there was a guy like him out theirr. I also fell in love with McLean. she is one bad ass observer. AHHAHA. i always admire people who are able to observe so well.
Overall I definitely recommend this book if you are a fan of sarah dessen or you just want a fun summer read. (cause it only took me like 4 hours to read.)

Reading Multiople Books in one day.

OMG okay before i start the post ive decided not to care about my grammer. i mean you can still understand me right?

Anyways, do you guys read multiple books in one day? I dont know sometimes i feel like reading alot of books in one day doesnt really allow you to fully sink the story of the book you read into your head. but then again when i finish reading a book i start to feel empty inside (For example the last book of harry potter, the hunger games, etc) and end up picking up another book.

I dont know. i read three book in one day and im not sure if that was a good idea. cause now im mixing up all of the plots together. but what can i do. maybe ill reread them later on.

SO, what do you guys think of reaing multiple book in one day?

P.S. I was balling when I started reading the last chapter of harry potter and the hunger games cause i didnt want them to end. Di d you guys cry too? or maybe im just a crybaby T.T

Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen

Synopsis:
It’s been so long since Auden slept at night. Ever since her parents’ divorce—or since the fighting started. Now she has the chance to spend a carefree summer with her dad and his new family in the charming beach town where they live.
A job in a clothes boutique introduces Auden to the world of girls: their talk, their friendship, their crushes. She missed out on all that, too busy being the perfect daughter to her demanding mother. Then she meets Eli, an intriguing loner and a fellow insomniac who becomes her guide to the nocturnal world of the town. Together they embark on parallel quests: for Auden, to experience the carefree teenage life she’s been denied; for Eli, to come to terms with the guilt he feels for the death of a friend.
In her signature pitch-perfect style, Sarah Dessen explores the hearts of two lonely people learning to connect.

Review: Sarah Dessen has always been one of my favorite authors. Her writing style is very easy to comprehend and usually has a deeper meaning. This book however, took me longer than usual to get pulled in. None the less, after the first few chapters I began to throughly enjoy this book. B+

 I really liked the main character of this book auden. I could relate to her because like her I have my moments of being an awkward social turtle. Anyways, at first auden seems like a very independent and smart goody goody kind of girl, but as you read the book you realize that she is like any other typical teenager. Now I have to say, I loved the main boy protagonist Eli. I can't help but like it when the main boy character sort of reserves another side him for the girl.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and recommend you guys pick it up!
