Reading Update

I'm doing a reading update of the beginning of the year because I'm reading a lot of books at the same time and I'm enjoying them all so I wanted to write about them a bit.

But before that I wanted to talk about a book that I've just finished and it's called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon and it's about an autistic 15-year-old boy who is really smart and logic but has trouble with emotions. One day he decides to investigate the death of a neighbor's dog. This book is so amazing I just can't explain. It was different from everything I've ever read and it was just so pure and beautiful to see the world from Christopher's eyes. I feel different now, I don't know how to explain that either but it changed me. I would recommend this book to everyone because it's so beautifully well written and it opens your eyes in so many levels and I just can't say enough good things about it. Oh and also there's London and math, and I LOVE maths, I've almost forgotten how much I loved math <3

Now that I told you that, we're onto the first book I'm reading, Allegiant by Veronica Roth. This is the third book on the Divergent trilogy and I really only have read the first couple of chapters because I've heard it's really sad, and not a lot of people are happy with the ending and I love Tris and Tobias too much to watch them suffer more if that makes any sense (? So I've let it aside for a bit, but I don't know how much I can distract myself before I give in and read it, and cry my eyes out more certainly.

I'm also reading Free Four which is an additional chapter or something like that, that tells a scene form Divergent but from Four's point of view, not Tris'. It's really short and I feel really excited about it because Tris & Four = OTP

And finally I'm reading The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch. I found this book by accident in a store in my country and read the first page and I knew I had to buy it. I feel attracted to this kind of lecture, like mysterious but silly, I don't know, I'm enjoying it, but I haven't read a whole lot yet.

I'm also gonna be starting with The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I purchased it last week, it was out of stock for a long while but no sooner I saw it I bought it. I did my first year translation project on that book and now I need to read it from start to finish.

So that's all for now. If you wanna know what I'm reading at all times, my Goodreads profile is open and you can add me as a friend if you want :) This is it

Fast Book Reviews: Losing It

Hello cuties! I'm here to bring you another Fast Book Review, the first of the New Year (PS: Happy New Year everyone!) and this is also special because it's the first "New Adult" book I review. This means the book has sexual content, not to the extreme, and it's mostly talked about not performed if that makes any sense (?) Anyway if you are against that kind of book I recommend you to stay away from this book, but if you have never read and you wanna give it a shot, I would recommend this book. It was one of the first books I read of this category, so it's new to me too.

  

Losing It is about a 22-year-old girl called Bliss that is in her senior year of college and is still a virgin. Now, if you hate the typical plot where the poor girl is virgin and she can't have sex because some kind of trauma or because no one wants to have sex with her, you're lucky, because this is not how the book goes. And that is one of my favorite things about it, you expect Bliss to be stereotypical, but she's not, and in my opinion she's just like a normal girl, like you, like me. She has fears, and she overcomes them. She doesn't know the first thing about dating or love but she's not dumb. She's independent, opinionated, and has a mind of her own. She's weird and awkward like most of us are, she's simply herself..

Then we met Garrick and I'm not gonna tell you much about him because I can't without giving too much of the book away but what I can tell you is: bar, hot guy reading Shakespeare, accent, British, and the rest is history.

This book gather some of my favorite things in the world, hot teachers (is this weird?), British guys, strong female character, acting, theatre and a lot (and I mean A LOT) of funny references to bands, movies and books. I mean, Harry Potter could be consider a big part of the novella that comes after this book (Keeping Her) so...

Plot wise, the book is amazing. It's really fast so you don't get bored, it has a lot of characters and character development, it takes you inside the world of Bliss life and I swear to you that you will wanna live there forever.

I would really recommend this book to anyone 16+ if you are OK with reading sex. People would probably rate it 18+ but I believe that at 16 you are mature enough to understand and appreciate it. 

It's really an amazing book about the choices that we have to take in life, career choices, work choices, love choices, and how one girl manages it all.
