Heartbreak over Delirium

My heart has been completely shattered. How could Lauren Oliver hurt me so much without even knowing that I exist. Does she know that millions of people fall for Alex as well and get heartbroken when they realize that he no longer goes on. I am immensely curious as to how the rest of the Delirium trilogy continues after the first heart retching story. Did he truly have to leave us, I understand that he sacrificed himself for Lena but seriously?! He had enough time to clime over the fence when she was doing so. Like he was so much faster and stronger than her, how could he not have followed her. Oh My God. This book is absolutely terrific and absolutely horrible at the same time. I both love it and hate it. Why would she make us fall for Alex through most of the book to just then rip him from our lives? I must say, this book is a masterpiece!

July Adventures of A and Charlie

So this month I have given in to my subconscious self and finally started reading again. Oh how I missed the smell of a book opening for me. What jumpstarted my fire for reading this month was finishing Every Day by David Levithan. This book is the epitome of why I read books. It goes in detail of what life truly means. I really like books that keep you on edge every chapter. Every Day makes you wonder about all aspects of what are lives contain, even the mundane regularities of the day that each and everyone of us go through on a daily basis. It made me stop and think. This is what books are really made for. But then I also read The Perks of Being a Wallflower which I have been struggling to read over the past year. Most books I struggle this hard to read I just put down and never pick back up, BUT this novel made me keep picking it back up. I knew a lot of people who absolutely loved it and I was almost finished so I just plowed right on through and ended up finishing last night. I feel very accomplished, I read both of these books within the week. I am thus very proud of myself and my reading.
