Late is Better Than Never

I've finished reading a few books since I last wrote. I finished the first two books in Emma Knight's vampire series Sworn and Taken. I was not impressed by the first one, and equally so with the second one. I bought them both as free e-books on Amazon, and I only plan to continue the series if the third book becomes free. It is definitely not a book worth paying for.

I also finished reading The Elite by Kiera Cass. I really enjoy this series. I am anxious to read the third book, The One. I am so eager to read it, that I bought it as soon as I finished The Elite. I've stuck it a few books down in my stack, so it will be soon, but not terribly soon, that I'm able to get into it. I know what I would choose to do if I were America, and I want to see if she will make the same choice and how she comes to her decision.

I have managed to finish one more book, Imperfect Chemistry by Mary Frame. It was short, but very good. The main character was awkwardly intelligent and I loved her quirkiness. It was a very fun read, and I highly recommend it. It's short enough that it doesn't require a large commitment, but if it were longer the commitment would be worth it.

Currently, I am reading City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare and A Winter Wrong by Elizabeth Ann West. Both are very good, and I will be finishing them rather quickly I presume. Tomorrow is my birthday and I will be turning 30. I always enjoy my birthday, and this year will not be any different. I refuse to believe that turning 30 is a bad thing. To be completely cliched age is only a number and you're only as old as you feel. I've been feeling great lately and I owe a lot of that to AdvoCare's 24 Day Challenge. It has really been a big change for the better. I love it so much I became an AdvoCare distributor! Not what I had planned initially, but I am very pleased with this decision.

2 for 1

I've been a busy, busy bee lately. I've managed to finish two books since the last time I posted. I've finished Paper Towns by John Green and Loving Mr. Daniels by Brittainy C. Cherry. Paper Towns was very good and extremely thought provoking. It isn't my favorite John Green book, in fact, it may be my least favorite, but that, by no means, means that it isn't a good book. It is definitely worth reading. I might talk about the merits of John Green's work a little more in depth on another post, but I'm a bit tired right now and I want to get to the other book I finished and mention what I'm reading now. Loving Mr. Daniels is a surprisingly deep book. Initially, the description makes you think that the book is just going to be a sordid story of a teacher-student relationship, but it is so much more than that. It is emotional and piercing. It makes you think about your life and how you live it and if you are living it to the fullest. What would you leave behind if you knew you weren't going to be around much longer? I highly recommend the book. It was free on Amazon when I got it. The two books I've started reading are The Elite by Kiera Cass and Sworn by Emma Knight. Honestly, I'm halfway finished with Sworn and I'm not sure where this thing is going. I know it's supposed to be about vampires at some point, but so far there is no sign of anything supernatural. So, we shall see...
