I'm still reading Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens. Love his dry humor...but the descriptions can go on for ages...

I finished Insurgent. It was fantastic. I loved it. Luckily, Allegiant was available at the library so I grabbed it and I'm so excited to start it.

I remember when I read the Last Battle the first time. It was so intense. I cried for like the whole last 3 chapters.

I've just started reading "Vienna Prelude", of "The Zion Covenant" series. Never read this before. As far as I can tell it contains stuff involving the 2nd World War.

I felt Prim and Finnick death weren't really adressed. It was more like "BTW they're dead."

I'm reading a Sherlock Holmes short story. Don't know if I like it or not.

Bobbymac, I felt the same way! When I first read the book, I didn't even register it. When I reread it a year later, I was like, wait, what? O.o

Ohhhh, Mara. I am so, so sorry.

Prepare yourself.

I'm currently re-re-re-re-re-re-re (Even more) reading The Fault in Our Stars. Ohhhhh gosh. I have read that book WAY too many times. But then again, I've been going on a John Green spree lately.

I'm starting "The Mistmantle Chronicles." I loved them when I was younger and I want to read through them again to see why. (I literally have hardly any recollection of the story line.... O.o)

It's too bad everyone says Allegiant is terrible and depressing. I don't really like depressing endings to books or series. I liked Divergent and I just ordered Insurgent.
Maybe they will fix it in the movie (if possible--I have no idea since I haven't read it).

WOAH! You're a John Green fan too! Cool! I just finished reading the Maze Runner series and The Fault in our Stars. Right now I'm reading an Abundance of Katherines by John Green.
