When it comes to contemporary fiction, I love books with protagonists who have ambition and passion for something. Cut the Lights fully delivered in that department. Drama and theatre were the main focus and very little detracted from that. I think in part that stemmed from the shortness of the book. The length didn’t allow for much else beyond theatre, which means there were no unnecessary distractions.
Bookstagram 101: Introduction
Over the past few months I noticed the increasing frequency of the search term bookstagram leading to my blog. In fact, my all-time second most visited blog post is Is Bookstagram Losing its Shine? — Overcoming Bookstagram Problems. Only my guide to managing TBR piles has had more hits, mostly because that post is almost a year older. Another post I wrote that ranks very high is Bookstagram Safety.
Project 52 – Depths of Winter
Since I last played with snow ten years ago when I spent Christmas in Germany, books are the closest that I’m able to get to the icy depths of winter. This also means that my thermos bottle carries chilled water more often than hot beverages.
INSURGENT (Divergent #2) by Veronica Roth
After re-reading Divergent, I knew that chances were I wouldn’t like Insurgent anywhere near as much as I did back in August 2013. What I didn’t expect was to walk away feeling oh so cold. There were so many things about Insurgent that made me want to chuck it. As early as the 96th page, I feared I would mark this re-read a DNF. The book had already annoyed me a lot within those pages alone.
