Books! Books I just read!

[garnetice]

I haven’t done a review of anything in a long while (a year and a half, maybe?), in part because I’ve been putting my reviews up on Amazon and in part because I’ve barely been reading anything other than fic or old favorites, or books so popular I don’t feel they need my two cents. But I’ve read some books this month - four to be exact - and I feel

You can add them to your memories, but I'm forever lost on what that does, really, other than bookmark a post, I guess.

Oh god, no, don't read it! I mean, don't like, not read it if you want to read it, but I'd probably only give it like three of five stars. Which doesn't mean it's not bad, it just means I wouldn't stick it on a rec list or anything, and compared to the other books it excelled. The shell shock thing was major war times inspiration (also Germanophobia, which sort of made me want kames pre-war 2 time things from James's POV where Kendall gets the shit beat out of him before they go to war and so he's super protective and I HAVE FEELINGS, OKAY, I'M GOING TO BE HAUNTED BY MY GRANDPARENTS FOR MY FEELINGS). I guess what I'm saying is read it if you're bored/have nothing to read, because it's not bad once it picks up? Yes. That sounds about right. :D

Lol if I knew anyone was reading these, I'd have posted the last eighty books I read. I had glorious conniption fits over some of them.

Ooh do you have all-time book recommendations? I have the hardest time finding things to read. Maybe because I become overwhelmed by bookstores and I like almost everything so I can never decide. Plus I'm stuck in young adult because that's all I hear good things about anyway.

I'm super un-picky about books, but the books I really love I love because of the characters in them.

Ahhhh, yes. I have a post somewhere on LJ, but idk where it is, but I wrote up this a few months back for some other LJ users and it has THINGS! They're all YA, I like never outgrew my formative years of loving all things Young Adult fiction (and now YA is all trendy and I'm living in my dream). I'd also add Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan to the list, and ummm...I honestly have endless recommendations. Which subgenre are you into? Fantasy? Urban fantasy? Slice of life realish things? TELL ME.

Young adult will always be good and, in some ways, often better. I don't know what it is. Maybe people go weird when writing for an adult audience and lose all desire to write as meaningfully or existentially or something.

I'll definitely be looking at the things! I usually stick to slice of life realish things because often times they're more focused on people and interpersonal relationships instead of plot but if something can be all exciting and urban fantasy AND have that then it's just amazing. HONESTLY I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING SO MUCH I DON'T KNOW WHAT I LOVE THE MOST.
