Ugh. I'm not making it through this as fast as I was hoping. It's almost the end of the month and I still have 4 books I want to read. Le sigh.

I have no use for poorly run groups or people who whine about every little thing just because they're corrected about something. Grow up or go whine on tumblr.

Space travel. It's creeping me out, man.

Part 4: A sci-fic section dealing with space travel to new earth. 510 people traveling 100+ years to begin life on a new planet. They're all in sleep stations and once a year, a guardian is woken up to check that everything is okay. Except, this time, passengers are mysteriously dying. Awesome.

Part 3: early 20th century insane asylum. It starts out barbaric how medicine used to be practiced and then turns into a hauntingly beautiful story that ties together Parts 1 & 2 beautifully. That being said, I wish I read part 3 before parts 1&2, I think it would have made them that much better.

Part 2: Innocence doesn't mean squat when primitive religious beliefs are in play. Poor Anna.

Part one was iffy. On to part two.

I have four, that's right FOUR, copies of The Golden Son requested from the library (we have a network and can order books from around the district) and do you think ANY of them have been sent to me yet? NEWP. Ugh. Annoying.

And now I'm in the mid-1800's. WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHAT IS GOING ON? All I can figure out is this island keeps allowing the lives of its inhabitants to happen over and over again through different periods of time. BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT WHY!!!!!

The thing that makes this book unique also makes it so weird. Every section is dealing with a different time on the Island, and by time, I mean year. It starts in 2073, then to 2011, and the third part, which I'm on, is I. The 1940's. And it all revolved around two central characters. This is fascinating. After this and his new one, I'm totally checking out Marcus's other books.

Right now, this book reminds me heavily of The Giver. I'm not that far into it, just the whole town elder and the mind washing/control and the weird utopian feel to it.

I completed my GR reading challenge. Now it's time to actually start reading books that are on my 2015 Reading Challenge thing. *~Sigh~* So many books to read and so little time.

So good.

Finally, a young adult book that's pretty damn entertaining and not written like an intro to creative writing student.

OMG, I hope that little shit fails out and fails out soon.

Tate is such a fucking scumbag.

I hate rich people. Especially old money rich people.

I forgot I read Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel so I'm moving on to Undead In the Garden of Good and Evil. I don't think I've read it.

Ordered The Sweet Trilogy and the Angel trilogy from the library so I have them for my March reads. Once those and a few others I have left to read, I'm thinking about taking a break for a while from YA. We'll see if it actually happens or not.

Picking this up at the library tomorrow night. I'm hoping it's good. Sick of being disappointed by YA books.

Finished The Bespelled and man, is Al a world class asshole. Working on Two Ghosts for Sister Rachel.

Oh, Newt.

Seriously. Just let Nina die. Ivy can do a million times better than some manipulative cunt that almost got everyone killed more than once. And, tbh, if Ivy keeps up with this, I will not feel sad if she dies. She will have deserved it.

Skip all the shit when Cormel is present and the story is actually good. I'm still disappointed in her writing and this story.

I'm about 5 seconds away from skipping to the last couple of chapters. I'm fucking sick to death of this bullshit "give us our souls or were going to kill you" storyline. None of this shit makes sense. You know what will? Killing Nona and Cormel. It's about time Rachel embraces her Demon/Mystic powers and just end this.

JFC, I fucking HATE Nina. Would someone just kill the bitch and be done with her. I don't know why Ivy thinks so little of herself that she needs to be with someone like that manipulative little blood sucking cunt rag.
