Book On The Move
"An honourable, obstinate, truthful, high-spirited, intensely prejudiced, perfectly unreasonable man."
It's Kind of a Funny Story
This book is the story of my life. It's almost as if the author went on my Tumblr, read every single post and made a book out of it. But I know that's not possible because this book was written 6 years ago. Still a good book though. Except, I don't think I would be as open about my problems as some of these kids in this book...
Beyond the Wall
This book really helped out with my music practicum as I had no idea what the fuck I was doing.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
When I first picked this book up, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I love anything that has to do with black, white and grey mysteries, so needless to say this book was really my cup of tea. However I didn't like the writing style all that much, Jacob lacked common sense at some parts and Emma seemed like a know-it-all bitch very nice person. The font was really ugly though, I hate times new roman. But the pictures were nice to look at.
The Bell Jar
Esther Greenwood wants to die. But that's only about halfway through the story. In the beginning she is a person who is satisfied and confused both. And it is Sylvia Plath's life story.The Bell Jar is a beautifully layered and written book about depression--but one that doesn't start with a depressive mood right off the bat at all. You see, when I first picked this book up I thought it would be right off the bad about a girl in a mental institution, but that's not what it is at all. It is about a girl living a simple life, and then spiraling into a dark abyss caused by traumatic experiences in her life. She doesn't start out a lunatic, no. It's all these experiences that she has in her life that cause this. Because people aren't born crazy and wanting to kill themselves, it is the people around them and the situation under which they reside that cause them to spiral that way. But that's a bit of a ramble for another day.This book has a unique storyline, but that's not what makes it so great. It's the writing style. It is so beautifully layered and backed up with facts that are placed at the right place with the right amount of information. It's the fact that, while reading this book you can actually picture yourself in Esther's position and you see and hear and feel what she does. That's what makes this book so great.You see, The Bell Jar is Sylvia Plath's life story. And I am sorry but when someone can write a book about a girl who is mentally ill so well how can you not catch onto the fact that the writer may be going through the same things in her head? You would have to be blind to not see that! Now, a little back-story on why I am so defensive of this book: I know how both Esther Greenwood and Sylvia Plath feels about life, when you think that there is no way out but death. And believe me, if I could write a book based on my own life I would-- and it would be exactly like The Bell Jar [Except maybe without all the shock treatments and mental asylums].

Fallen (Lauren Kate's Fallen Series #1)

Law and Morality: Readings in Legal Philosophy
So I picked this book up to gain information for a debate in law class. It was very enlightening and I learned a lot about the compromise of justice and whatnot. However I found that it was overly opinionated and not factual.
Les Misérables
Marius is an ass, Cosette is a dumb-blonde, Jean Valjean is awesome, and Eponine should not have died! A large (and ponderous) book filled with twists and sadness, chronicling the lives of the poor during the French revolution. Les Miserables may make your life miserable while reading it just because it's what? 3-5 pounds? But it's all worth it in the end when you can't stop crying, trust me!

The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus, #3)
Just because I gave it 3 stars doesn't mean I didn't like the book. I actually enjoyed reading this, it's just that it was lacking in many ways First of all, I think Rick Riordan should have stuck to 1st person past p.o.v., because to be quite honest third person limited is definitely not his cup of tea--especially not the Character POV narrative style. Secondly, I think he takes the term "cliff-hanger" a bit too seriously (especially since we last see Percy and Annabeth hanging off the edge of the world, HAHA I'M SO FUNNY ). It's a good story, and I like the concept of it, but I think it's a bit too overplayed, especially with the each-character-gets-5-chapters. Why not just give them one huge chapter instead of 5 tiny ones in a consecutive row?
Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
I only read the first story, and I actually liked it... but... dafuq...
