books galore

Books I have read recently:
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (what a cool name)
The Casual Vacancy by MAGICAL GODDESS J.K Rowling

I'm going to start this post by announcing to the world that I did not actually finish The Casual Vacancy. PLEASE DON'T EXPELLIARMUS ME, JOANNE. It's not that I didn't like it, and I am sure that I will continue reading it at some stage, but I just don't find myself caring enough about the characters to keep going. Has anybody actually finished it? Because I've heard a few people say that they couldn't get through it.  Also (and this irrelevant to how I felt about the actual storyline but whatever), the main character's name is Barry. BARRY. Really? You couldn't think of another name that doesn't rhyme with Harry? I feel that naming the character Barry has given me false hope. Like halfway through the book, he would just rip off a mask and be like "SURPRISE! IT'S ME, HARRY POTTER!" and then the story will turn into the "Nineteen Years Later" part in The Deathly Hallows. (If you've read the first few pages of The Casual Vacancy then you will realise that it would not be possible for Barry to turn into Harry, but I will reveal no spoilers here. JUST LET ME DREAM OKAY?!)

I'm so weird.

I really super loved The Hunger Games and Attachments, however. I tend to like books that are of a fantasy genre, romancey lovey-dovey genre, or both, so of course I was going to enjoy these ones. I read the shit out of these books, so much that my neck was constantly sore whilst devouring them. Devouring? Perhaps that was a bad word choice as I did not actually eat them. Anyway, I'm sure you would know about The Hunger Games, so I won't write anything about it, but Attachments is really interesting and worthy of your time. It's basically about an IT guy who falls in love with a girl through reading her e-mails. Sounds a bit creepy but I assure you it isn't.

Books I have yet to read:
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

I think I might start on His Dark Materials next because I have always wanted to read these books! Why We Broke Up seems pretty cool as well - it has a teacup on the cover so it has to be good. Right? Right.

I would readily accept any book suggestions that you may have also! What is your favourite? That is all. Goodbye!
