November wrap up and December to-be-read

First of all, here's the video from where I got the idea of posting today!


So this month I read a few books. More than usual, probably. Here they are!


I don't really remember when I finished it but it was definitely this month. I started it in mid October but I got kinda bored by it :\ I don't really know why. It was an awesome book. I liked it but I couldn't sit to read it a long time. I read it on my phone and that was sucky as well.  I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

I did say about this book a few weeks ago. I also started this mid October but the beginning of the book was boring. But then I finished An Abundance of Katherines (I think) and I didn't know what to read 
and I continued it and I got captivated in it! I'll give it 5 stars out of 5!

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

I finished it in 3 days! It was my first book with over 500 pages in three days! I was SO absorbed by it! I really REALLY liked it! She was so evil when so wrote it! She knew how to write so you get absorbed very easily by it! My rating is 5 out of 5 stars!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

I read about this book in the list of 100 best books for teens. And I loved it! I had the same feeling I had while reading Divergent which is that I need to keep reading. But at the end I didn't have the craving feeling that I had with Divergent. I was satisfied with the ending. I'm happy he didn't write it so people would want more out of it. I would want something more but not desperately like I wanted for The Hunger Games and Divergent. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.


I am currently reading this and I only have like 100 pages left so I'm finishing it by Friday. So far, I love this book! I watched the movie last week and it was awesome! I can't read the first book yet because they didn't have it at our public library. The third book was the only one they had :\ But I ordered the first book from bookdepository.com. Until now, this gets a 5 out of 5 stars! I love it!

This December I have the end of the first semester of school and the first two weeks will be filled with tests and listenings and stuff and after that I'll be free to read whatever I want!! Because from the 21st I'll have the Christmas break which will last until the 13th of January (yaay) and I'll have plenty of time for reading!

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I started reading this book before reading Thirteen Reasons Why but I had the feeling that I couldn't read it yet. But I really want to read it because it was recommended by John Green and I'd love to read it!

Christmas Carols by Charles Dickens

My mum bought this book last week and I want to read it because it's the Christmas season!

The Perfume by Patrick Suskind

I also started this in October but I couldn't read it so I said I'll read it in the Christmas break because I'll have a shitload of time!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

I've seen the movie and I LOVED IT! And I ordered it and I'd love to read it.

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tokien

I begun reading this in May I think and I couldn't finish it X_x It's not a read that you can go through in one go because it's so full of details! I only have like less than half of it to read and I have to read it before the 14th of December cuz I'M GOING TO PREMIERE OF THE MOVIEE!!!

The Queen and I by Sue Townsend

I was at the public library today and I was casually crawling between the shelves and I saw it! And the temptation of pulling it out and to read the description of it was ginormous. And I took it and it was love at first sight! Well not really.

If I stay by Gayle Forman

My best friend kept telling me about this book because she read it and loved it. So I'm gonna read it...

Those were probably all the books I want to read but probably if I see other books at the library, I'm gonna read them. Also, I might read The Fault in our Stars and The Hunger Games again if I get them back XD

I'm leaving now.

Goodbye.

I have nothing to say.

Hi there! I wanted to write a review on Divergent and Insurgent but I couldn't. Not just yet.
Right now I'm reading 13 reasons by Jay Asher. It's a lovely book. I'm 190 book through. I weirdly like it. My best friend said it sounds like a cheesy book and about bullying. And it is, indeed, a bit about bullying and it also is about other things. It's weird. It's about a girl that commits suicide and she sends a box containing 7 tapes to people who were the reason of her suicide. And one of them is a boy called Clay Jensen. He has no idea why he is guilty of her death, but he still listens to the tapes to see why she was forced to kill herself. It got a bit sad now. It's because I've been bullied all my life probably. Bullying doesn't affect me like it used to anymore. I never actually thought of killing myself. I did think of suicide, but never to do it. It's pointless.
Anyways! I had a strange dream last night. I won't say what it was (no, it was not a "wet dream"), but I will say that it involved a kiss. And I thought that it's weird. I never kissed anyone. Well, except for my mum when I was very small, but that certainly doesn't count. But it's strange. Probably only a quarter of the people in my class never kissed anyone. It's kinda funny. But I've always been self-conscious about it and I think that my first kiss would be very awkward. Because that's how they usually are. I think. Strange. This world.
I have to go now because it's late (it's not that late, really) and I have to wake up early in the morning.

Goodbye.

Books, books and more books!

I always wanted to show people my little personal book shelf. So here it is! 

But first, here's a photo of some awesome envelopes I bought last week! :D 


Here's the overview:



I don't have 4 books here cuz I borrowed them to my cousin.

And as always, I'll begin with the J.K. Rowling books!

From top to bottom, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and the first two Lord of the Rings books!

The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.

First three books from the Chronicles of Spiderwick.

This is one of my most prized possessions! The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

These are my Japan related books. From top to bottom: Conversation guide, Traveler's guide thingie, Japanese Tales and Legends, Complete guide - Japan, Japanese textbook.

From left to right, Illustrated Chronicles of the Human kind, One Thousand and One Nights, Batman comic, Life in Top by John Braine, James Bond - Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. Got the last two for my birthday this year.

I hope you liked my little book collection :D I will write a small review on both Divergent and Insurgent these following days. I must add, because my best friend won't shut up about it, that a gal named Paula (the best friend) told me about Divergent and it's because of her that I read it. I hope you're satisfied now. 

Goodbye,

So I finished Divergent by Veronica Roth this morning and this afternoon, I downloaded Insurgent to read on my computer. And I started reading, of course. And when I got to chapter 7, this is what I felt and kinda looked like:

(obviously chris' face)
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! IT'S SO TENSE AND OMGOMGOMGOMG!! I WILL DIE!

(I can't believe I just made a post only for this...)
