For the love and hate of paperbacks.

Now, while I may love the convenience and feeling of a good paperback… I do have some… hatred for it.

1. Over glueing.

Seriously. I have/have had pages rip, stuck, not useable due to sloppy/shoddy binding.

2. Mass Market Paperback weird/awkward cuts.

I have had books of the Mass Market quality (while most are great!) be cut so weird that words/chunks of pages are missing,  fit at a weird angle, plain not readable.

JUST BECAUSE IT’S MASS MARKET DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE EXCUSE TO DO SHODDY WORK.

Also on the MM trend…

3. Pages duplicated, missing, upside down or not from the same book?

This happens WAAAAY too often at Wally World. Most recent was a MM of Beautiful Creatures with missing/repeated pages and upside down/Recall number two.

I consider this book abuse by the manufacturing companies. Sure, you get your money, but what about customer satisfaction?

Oy.

First there is books, and then their is life somewhere, I think.

So, I have been diving in and out of a lot of books lately.

 

I can’t seem to focus on just one. I mean, I am still on chapter 12 of Divergent. D: 

 

TWELVE!!!

 

I don’t know how to get out of this funk. It’s really eating me apart. I am just happy it didn’t affect Fangirl. 

 

 

I have so many I want to read, so many I cannot read and so many I am just bleh with.

 

I love the stories, but I just cannot stick to one. It’s like there is a rainfall of so many good books!

 

 

Do you ever have the same problem that I do? Just the inability to finish a book before you start another?

 

I feel like a bad reader. D:

 

 

I mean, I should have atleast 14 books done by now. Do I? Nooooo. 

 

 

I also have been downloading quite a few freebies…

 

And I almost screamed when I got The Testing for free on Kindle. 

 

 

It was like, magic.

Sooo… I thought that I might give a small insight in what I am reading!!

 

 

 

THIS MONTH:

 

 

The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

 

Image

 

Divergent by Veronica Roth

 

Image

 

The Diviners by Libba Bray

 

Image

 

Starters and Enders by Lissa Price

 

Image & Image

 

I also finished an ARC of Words Wound: Delete Cyberbullying and Make Kindness Go Viral by Justin W. Patchin and Sameer Hinduja

It was very informative, and something I really do believe that should be used in all schools. Cyber bullying is slowly becoming a huge thing, nd like they say.. Once it’s on the internet, its there forever. It’s really sad how mean kids and parent can be to other kids.

 

 

Anyways, other than wishing you a happy holidays, I think I am gonna jet for now!

 

Loootss of reading to do. 

 

 

Please, if you don’t mind, drop me some suggestions for books, reading habits or just to chat!

 

 

Peace and Love!

I found a very nice boxset of Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit!!! I will be posting pictures (maybe) soonish of my bookhauls!

 

I am still debating making a booktube account. D: It scares me but I have been easing myself into it with my Instagram account.
