Bookish Habits

1. I take the book everywhere! Even when I know I won't be able to read while going somewhere/doing something
2. I tend to pause at moments in which I just can't handle it. I pause and think. Continue and pause. Again. And again.
3. If too many (more than 3) people are introduced between a couple pages I need to write them all donw (+their roles)... My memory is that lovely.
4. I can't drink or eat anything whilst reading. Anything. Ridiculous right?
5. I change my position pretty much every 30 pages

Graphic Novels

Opinion

At the end of last year I started getting into Grpahic Novels. Before that I had never read one so I thought it was time. I read 10 of them-some were adaptions from books and some were graphic novels originally.

I enjoyed both very much and the art was VeRy nicely done. Though about the ones that were meant as novels first: If you rwondering how it compares to the original text it really depends on who made it. I read most of the books they were based on and I found that they were very loyal to them.

They are short and so, perfect for a rainy day indoors. In any case I very much recommend you picking up a graphic novel, and enjoy :)
Do you guys want some faves? Do tell.

Angelfall & World After : review

Susan Ee
Short Review


So as I posted earlier I'll be trying this system of 'short reviews' out. So I'll try and get how to do everything wiht this.

11500217>Reading: It was a book that kept me reading and reading! It kept the interesting vibe that you got from the very first page, which I really liked. The language suited the pase of it without too much explanation about the surroundings.

>The characters: The characters grew alot during both books, especially the second one, and I really liked how their priorities changed for them after all the changes that come against them.

>Recommendation: I would defenetly recommend it to anyone who reads YA. It had loads of actino, family, romance, apocalyptic science fiction...

>Goodreads' thing-a-bob:
It's been six weeks since the angels of the apocalypse destroyed the world as we know it. Only pockets of humanity remain. 

Savage street gangs rule the day while fear and superstition rule the night. 

When angels fly away with a helpless girl, her seventeen-year-old sister Penryn will do anything to get her back...

Did you like the way I did it or rather one of these.

Way 2. Should I write only five sentences and sum the whole thing up. Like what was it about, good things, bad things.

Way 3. Telling amounts of what it had and nothing about what it was about. Like did it have humor, romance, action, friendships...
