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
