I haven't been reading quite as much as I usually do. I am in college and I have finals and last minute projects due. I also just graduated with my associates. I know, not really a big deal, right? Wrong. This is my first big step since high school and I am ready to start on my next step and become someone who can help people, however small it'll be, and become a teacher. Teachers are more important that I'd thought and I am ready to make a difference in people's lives.
Moving on, I did get around to a few books. I did get to reading The Elite by Kiera Cass. This book really gave me whiplash with all of the love triangle drama going on. I LOVED The Selection and couldn't wait until The Elite came out! When it finally did, I couldn't wait to open it and start reading! Although there is SO much love triangle drama, I couldn't put the book down! All I wanted was to see what happens and who she chose in the end. I am not going to spill anything but throughout the first book, and the second, I was rooting for Maxon. Sorry, but prince trumps life time crush for me.
Another book that I have recently read was Clockwork Angel. I have read the first four The Mortal Instruments books and my best friend really wanted me to read the prequel so I said 'why not?'. I LOVED this book and I have to say I love the characters and the story better than The Mortal Instraments'. I don't know what it is, but I love prequels! There is SO much I can say about this book, but I am going to encourage you to go out and find out about the shadowhunters' world.
Speaking of prequels, another prequel that I absolutely fell in love with was Rise: a Nightshade Novel by Andrea Cremer. I didn't know how this book was going to go and I was a little intrigued. This book is amazing and it really isn't very much like the other Nightshade novels, which surprised me. I fell in love with this book after the first couple of pages! I absolutely love this book! Then the second prequel book came out, Rise, and for the life of me I can not get into it! I don't know what it is! It might have been that I had gotten a rush of books and I wanted to read other books, but whatever it was I just couldn't jump into the Nightshade world again. I wont give up on it though! I always finish books that I've started and this will be no exception!
At this time I am reading Fall of Night (Morganville #14) by Rachel Caine. I love this series and will always come back to it when I don't feel like reading anything else. This was the first series of books I had gotten into and I still love them the same! The characters in these books are like family and I am going to miss them when the 15th, and final book, comes out, but the good thing about books is that you can always go visit again :) Back to the book...I was SO excited to get this book!! I was so ready for a book all about Claire and, especially, Mr. Shane Collins! I am so pleased that Claire stood up to Shane and decided enough was enough and decided to 'take a break'. I understand why Shane didn't trust Claire because, well, he's Shane and he has trust issues. She needed to get away from him and got to MIT, which I knew wasn't the brightest idea she's ever had. And of course Shane couldn't let her go, 'cuz come on he's Shane! Although I am not all the way finished with this book I can tell I'm not gonna like how its going to end, but its Morganville so that's normal.
So that is what I've been reading. What adventures have you've been one lately? What characters have you befriended?
