I've been buying a lot of books recently... and I have to say... I have not been reading a lot recently... so I really need to get on it and read these things! Here's what I have and why I want to read them!
Matched by Ally Condie- This is a Dystopian YA Novel about a society that matches people up at the age of 16. They have a big ceremony and the girls are in one room and the boys are in another and they each get to see who their match would be and learn more about them... I've started reading this and I have to say that I... don't know how I feel about it. It's interesting- I'm really not far in at all in the book... but I'm not drawn in immediately... it's a short book and I should want to read it more... but I just don't.
And I got this book not so much for enjoyment but more because I want to write something that might be similar in tone... although it is not a YA or Dystopian...and I think the theme might be different entirely- but I didn't really know that when I bought this book... so yeah. There's that.
The Siren by Kiera Cass
I just really like Mermaids and Sirens... so I wanted to buy this book because I'm just really interested in Mermaid and Siren folklore... there are so many different theories and hoaxes of mermaids and sirens... and I think it's kind of fascinating. So I don't necessarily know what this book is all about... but I'm excited to read it because Mermaids.
A Series of Unfortunate Events: Books 5-8 by Lemony Snicket
So I need to get book 7 and 8 from this series... but I kind of want to read these before I watch the Netflix Series... I had over a year to read them... and I have 2 of the books... so idk what I'm waiting for really... I should just get to the show or get to reading these... I just really love the series and I love reading the books first. I've read books 1-4 which were featured in Season 1... but I just think these are so clever. I love them!
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline- The movie of this just came out... and I saw the book on sale at Target for under $9... so I wanted to get it! It sounds interesting... I'm not even sure if I want to see the movie... I just want to know what it's all about and I'm interested in it.
A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro- This is a mystery novel centered around the relative of Sherlock Holmes... and it just sounded really interesting. And I love mystery... and Sherlock Holmes is a character I've been pretty interested in for a while. There are so many versions of Sherlock Holmes and he's just a character that's remained popular. I feel like years from now Harry Potter could have a similar situation... although I can't imagine JK Rowling ever letting that happen.
A Hot Glue Gun Mess by Kate Albright- So I've started reading this book... and I put it down for quite a while now... I'm a big fan of Kate- she's known as Mr. Kate on youtube- she does interior design videos and crafting DIY's... she's amazing and I really like her style... the book is really fun to read because even though Kate isn't a household name outside of youtube watchers... she's been famous for a long time and she grew up in a fairly wealthy family... and she's kind of like a hippie Carrie Bradshaw and she just has an interesting life. I feel like this is taking me the longest to read because it isn't really something to read all at once... it's a book of shorter essays and DIY projects that go along with the stories... so even though I'm fairly far into reading this book... I feel like I'll finish it the last.
And that is everything! Let me know if you like these... I may end up re-reading Harry Potter also... so that's something to keep watch for... but until then... these are the books I want to read fairly soon!
Byeee!
