Lately I've been reading so much! Because it's the summer time, I have nothing else better to do with my time so why not. Friends have lent me books, I've been reading on Wattpad and I've also bought a couple of books from the books store and Amazon. And please don't even get me started with the book store thing. *sighs* The book store really is like a book lovers heaven.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys though, I just recently became a bibliophile. What's a bibliophile you ask?? Well here's the definition. I found it online so it must be right.
Yep, that's it. I used to love books so much when I was a little kid and then as I got older I kind of lost interest because I didn't really know what kind of books I liked (and I kind of thought I was too cool for books. Yes, I was a very foolish tween). And then one day I met this awesome girl. She's a crazy book lover too. She had sooo many books and she just wouldn't stop talking about how much she loved books so I thought "Hmm, let me just...try." So while no one was looking I picked up a book and read like the first two pages and I was so hooked I was like "You have to let me borrow this book!!" And of course she lent it to me because book lovers want to convert as many people as possible to book-loverism. And that amazing book was called Legend by Marie Lu.
I know I mentioned this book before in my previous book post, but I just had to mention it again. I will never forget the first sentence in this book "My mom thinks i'm dead." I was hooked from the first sentence. I really want to know when somebody's gonna make a movie out of this book. Like, I've been waiting for 13 months!! Please people get the word out! I can't wait anymore. I saw the third book Champion in Barnes and Noble and I almost started crying!
Okay, so now let's talk about the books I've read this summer. The Maze Runner! I'm sure you've heard about it by now. The movie is coming out Sept. 19th, 2014 in the USA. It probably comes out earlier in other countries. It's always like that -_- But, anyway I can't wait to watch it. I love how they casted it. The cast is perfect! So, yep that book is amazing. I love it so much. In my opinion it kind of started off slow. I didn't get hooked until like the 4th chapter. But, it was definitely worth the wait!
I bought the second book (The Scorch Trials)
a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't start it yet because I had started reading some other books that my friend had lent me before I bought it.
My friend lent me two books. One:
Yes! Yas! Percy Jackson! I finally started reading it and it's so amazing. The writer Rick Riordan, he's amazing! I don't know how he does it. And the book is so funny. I'm about halfway through it right now and I'm loving it. I definitely plan on buying the entire collection and the second series. And the second book she lent me is The land of Stories by Chris Colfer. Yes. Chris Colfer as in Kurt Hummel from Glee! I didn't even know he wrote books. I was so shocked!
Actually I started reading this book first (before I started reading Percy Jackson), but then I discovered that it was the second book and I felt kind of, I don't know, left out or something because I didn't read the first book first. So, I think I'm going to buy the first book and read that first and then start on this book again. It's really good though. It's beautifully written.
And last, but definitely not last, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I never finished my review for this book because when I wrote my last book post I was only halfway through it. Honestly, I was taking so long to finish this book because I was afraid to finish it. Thanks to Tumblr and Pinterest I already knew about the tragic ending. I don't want to spoil it for you guys who haven't read the book yet so let's just say that after I read that book I had puffy eyes, a snotty nose and buckets of tears. It was so beautiful the way he ended the book. It was sooo beautiful. You have to read it! If you read it be sure to comment or tweet me (@asdoc_) and we can grieve together. Also comment below telling me your favorite books so I can read them and do a review on them and even give you a shoutout :)
