#8 Fifty Shades Freed by E.L. James
Surprisingly, I do not have much to say about this one. Been there, done that. Given the whole trilogy I am glad I read it, though I must say this last one was kind of tiresome and uninspiring.
Of course in the back of my mind there are some minor distant thoughts on overbearing, overreacting, overwhelming, overprotective, (over everything) ( Read more... ) -
#7 Fifty Shades Darker by E.L. James
This book got me thinking hard about the correlation between a decision to love someone and their widely understood emotional state.
As I stated before, I believe that everyone is fucked-up. More or less. It is bad enough if the "more" applies to us. It is even worse when it concerns someone we love.
Imagine you meet someone. All signs in the earth ( Read more... ) -
#6 Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
I must say I am pretty confused by this book. Before reading it I knew nothing about it. Frankly I decided to read it because I liked the title. Plus I was tired of seventeen year old heroins, therefore I welcomed book about people in their twenties more than willingly.
At first I thought that it is like twilight but without the supernatural factor ( Read more... ) -
#5 Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
I finished it in one day. And while the resolution to read more books is great itself, but doing nothing but reading all day seems somehow alarming. But it is a Saturday after all, so maybe I should just cut myself some slack.
What surprised me is that I actually cried. Not as much because of the story but because of the situation in my life it ( Read more... ) -
#4 Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
I was surprised how many emotions this book evoked in me. At first I found the plot and particularly the love story dwo-dimensional and naive, silly even. The love triangle and the curse were sadly predictable and all these kissing scenes and boys being hot-and-cold scenarios were tiresome and burdened with high potential to annoy (Although I must ( Read more... ) -
#3 Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Having somehow mixed feelings after reading the fourth book of Mortal Instruments series I decided to give this second series of Cassandra Clare a chance hoping it will restore my admiration for her writing. I am glad I read it, though at the same time I am not awed with it the way I used to be with the Mortal Instruments series. But I guess it ( Read more... ) -
#2 City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
I have finished the second book of 2012 today, the City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare, the forth book from the Mortal Instruments series .
I must say the the existence of the forth book itself came as a surprise to me. I was perfectly content with the end of the story that book #3 provided. Well, maybe not perfectly - being a crazy fan of the ( Read more... ) -
#1 One Day by David Nicholls
It is the 8th of January and the first book is behind me. Almost on schedule of one-book-per-one-week-plan.
To be honest, I made two mistakes when it comes to reading this book.
First of all I watched the movie before I've read the book. I knew it would be a bad idea, it always is. But who could blame me: it was a grey, lonely evening and I was in ( Read more... ) -
52 books in a year
I have always loved books, though our relationship was rather unstable.
There were times when it was unusual for me to be seen without a book, whether it was at home, school, work or on the way to any of these places. And then I could go for months without as much as touching a book cover.
Recently my flatmate told my about this interesting ( Read more... )
