I DNF Allegiant

 Hey there Bookies,

So I thought my lack of love reading this book was because I was just too overwhelmed in the past. But after trying to read this book again, I have learned that I just don't like it. I've decided to not read the book anymore or try to because I'm slowly losing my drive to read and I don't want that. I stopped right when they were about to leave the city in secret and that is as far as I could make it. Will I pick up this book again in the future? Probably not, but it isn't entirely set in stone. I think through this experience that I'm just not a fan of these books. Or even the genre. I've never given a book one star before, well maybe once before. But this book is getting one star. I just didn't like it. It was slow and nothing exciting was happening. I know other people likes these books but I just don't. I will still recommend it to people if they like Hunger Games or other books like that. But I'm not a fan.

So until next time...

Stared reading Glass by Ellen Hopkins

 

Hey there Bookies,

I'm still reading two books at once. I'm not really enjoying Allegiant but it's the last book of a series and I have to finish it. Anyways, when I take breaks from that book, I'm reading Glass by Ellen Hopkins. I had no idea that Crank was part of a series. So being the completionist that I am, I got the second book. This is probably going to be a quick read for me. The format is much like that of a poem book, so it's pretty easy. But it is a heavy subject, aka substance abuse, so I will need breaks from this book as well. It's a good educational book. You get to read about someone's struggles trying to overcome the monster they fell victim to. I know most school districts have banned these kinds of book because it "promotes" drugs. But I see it as a learning experience. Read about someone's struggle and how they overcame it and make your own ideas about what you want to do with your life. Do you want to suffer as much as the person in the book, or do you want to live a straight and narrow path? Who are we to tell people what they should and shouldn't do? I'm all about making your own choices and if you want to read this series, then go right ahead. 

So until next time....

Started reading Allegiant by Veronica Roth...Again

 Hello there Bookies,

I'm back to trying to finish off this series. I've tried to read Allegiant before but a lot was going on and I just couldn't do it. I felt like I was forcing myself to read and I just wasn't enjoy the book at that time. But I will have to confess that I'm not a huge fan of this series. It's okay but maybe it just isn't for me. Anyways, I'm already a few chapters in and I have no idea what is going on. I take such long breaks between books that I just forget what happens to the point I get confused. I really need to stop doing that. All I know is that Four's mother has taken over the city and Tris wants to see what is outside the city due to a video she saw at the end of Insurgent. I think I said the title right. It's been a while. But once I finish this book, I no longer have to worry about the series ever again. I know there is a book through Four's point of view but I have no desire to read it. 

So until next time....

Finished reading Immortal Hearts

 

Hey there Bookies,

I finally finished the series. Its been so long that I have no idea what to do now. I've literally grew up with this series. Sadly, this book is only going to get two stars from me. It just isn't my cup of tea anymore. I started this series when Twilight was just getting huge. Vampires was the in thing and now it's not really anymore. But I did enjoy the book a bit. I know my younger self would have loved this series if it didn't take me so long to read it. But with life, you have to take breaks. Especially when your library doesn't have all of the books. Anyways, the book is just about Raven and Alexander working on their relationship to the point that Raven even thinks she pushed him too far. She was so sure that their relationship was going to end. But in her heartbreak, Alexander confesses to her the one thing that she always wanted to hear. He is willing to take the next step and spend eternity with her. So that is how the book pretty much ends. Nothing huge happens in the book. Sure Stormy, Alexander's sister, comes to visit but that was pretty normal. Raven seems to be meeting someone new in every book. Raven's brother, Billy, finds out about vampires after hanging out with Stormy but is promised to keep the secret. More for Stormy than anything. Stormy sees the true colors of Luna when she tries to help Jagger force a bond with Raven just to get back at Alexander. You know the typical Maxwells thing. That family can't be trusted with anything. I am a little sad that we don't get to see Raven's life as a vampire but I guess the whole series was based around Raven being mortal and dating a vampire. The struggles they go through being from two different worlds was the drama of the series. So I can understand why there won't be another book explaining Raven's life as a vampire. Maybe there is a spin off somewhere that will have that, but I think I'm satisfied with how this one ended. But I'm off to my next book.

So until next time....
