Q: Have your reading habits changed in the past few years?





Glad some of us are good at math. After going through my Goodreads reading challenges, Mr.White and I concluded that:

2012: Paranormal ranked at number 1
2013: YA won me over

and finally this year:

2014: graphic novels top my read list.

Yup, I'm Divergent. And now, onto to Chemistry class.

Review: Allegiant



Divergent captivated the heart of many, therefore, Allegiant had to conclude the series with splendor. Talk about pressure for Veronica Roth.

The first thing she did was answer the question that has been tormenting readers and Tris for a long time: What is the true meaning of Divergent? This knowledge will not only propulse the story forward but create lots of discomfort between the characters that were already troubled by the factionless. Sides are taken once more. Particularly after tests show that Four might not be divergent after all.

Roth may not have given her fans a fairy-tale ending, but she compensated by filling the book with non-stop action. It's honest, hopelessly romantic, and impossible to put down.

TOP TEN 2014 SPRING TBR PILE

Review: Don't Even Think About it


Ever wonder what your friends really think about you? Or if your crush wants to ask you out? 

Well, one high school group no longer has to wonder about the many thoughts of others. After receiving a bad flu shot batch, one class that includes Mackenzie, Olivia, and Tess, become telepathic. For Mackenzie this couldn't come at a worst time. She cheated on her boyfriend -- crowd lover Cooper -- and now has an entire classroom judging her actions and threatening to tell him. All the while, Olivia uses her powers to get ahead in class, and Tess tries to get a friend to see her with different eyes. 

There are lots of heartbreak and hurt feelings in the book, but nevertheless, Mlynowski brings that humoristic touch that has made her popular over the years. It's nice to read a ''supernatural'' story without the terrible bad guy written into the plot.
