What I've Been Reading 002

This is my second installment of this 'series' that I have on my blog. Sadly, the amount of books that I have read is still quite small as compared to what I have expected. However, this is progress and I shall cherish them! *pats self on the back*

1. Insurgent,Veronica Roth

I am afraid that if I start to sob, I will never stop until I shrivel up like a raisin.

We both have war inside of us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroys us.

People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.

It was given that I would read this after Divergent. I found myself secretly nagging Tris because of her reckless decisions. Other than that, I personally think that the book has started to have too many intimate moments. I didn't think it was really necessary to show the love between Four and Tris.

2. Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell

You can't take back texts. If you come off all moody and melancholy in text, it just sits there in your phone, reminding you of what a drag you are.

I love this book. It's so cute and quirky. I love the excerpts from Simon Snows' novels very much. I wished they existed so that I could read them too! Oh, I was in love with Levi.

3. Attachments, Rainbow Rowell

I'd rather you said 'I love you' because you were so full of love for me that you couldn't keep it in.

I shouldn't need proof, but proof can be very reassuring.

I told him that I didn't want magic, that I wanted someone who wouldn't leave me if he could. Who couldn't feel like being committed to me was such a burden.

I was on a Rainbow Rowell marathon so I chose to read this book. I love the email exchanges between Beth and Jennifer. They're really funny and I found myself guessing important events that had happened in their life as well!

4. The Guard, Kiera Cass

But I've seen a lot of people let the bad around them make them hard of stubborn. In the end, they miss the chance to make their world better because they only see the worst in it.

This is a book from Aspen's point of view. I would say that I like Maxon's point-of-view better than Aspen's. Maxon's point-of-view gave me a clearer situation of the plot. Aspen's on the other hand, I would say, the story fare well enough without his thoughts. Some things are better left unsaid.

5. The One, Kiera Cass

I don't mind mistakes...I mind the uncertainty. Most of the time I can't tell what's going on.

It's hard to know everything about people close to you, even the people you love the most.

The ending was obvious but I still enjoy the book. I would say the main point of this book was how Maxon overcame his own struggle with choosing the girls and his conflict with the king.
