Cress was on this list!!! That's lik...OOOOOOOH! Cress was on this list!!! That's like my FAVORITE of the Lunar Chronicles!!! Other than Winter, of course. ALSO. I haven't watched the video yet, but I noticed that Renegades got 2 stars out of 10. And maybe this was answered in the video, but I'm curious as to why? Because I also read this book just at the beginning of this year, and I...didn't really like it all that much. :P But I'm still not entirely sure WHY I didn't like it?? So I guess I'm just extremely thankful that I'm not the only one who had a hard time with this story??? <br /><br />BUT ANYWAY!!! A THOUSAND PERFECT NOTES!!!! I am SOOO excited for this story! It's gonna be great... I thought there was another book that I'd heard about that I was extremely excited for at the beginning of the year, but now I've plum forgotten what it was... I think I saw it on YouTube or something. Hopefully I can find it again.

Those books were my life as a kid and they're just generally very interesting and funny.<br />Most of the time when I buy a book it's spur-of-the-moment and it's one I've already read and liked and it's from a used bookstore or a *super* cheap sale at Books-A-Million or wherever because I'm not rich. That does make for some interesting purchases, though; I found a Russian copy of Anna Karenina in a thrift shop for $2 the other day and bought it just because it was so cool. I would love to have my own copies of a few of the books I read this year (like the entirety of The Lunar Chronicles and Helen Rappaport's 'The Romanov Sisters) and a less dangerously old and decrepit copy of Notre Dame de Paris because mine's from 1925 or something and I love it dearly but it really needs to not be carted around in my backpack and such, you know? I'll keep an eye out for those whenever I'm in any used bookstores for the next few months.

Maybe I should try doing that instead? I probably should have done a vlog for my reading wrap-up but I only read 31 books, so... yeah. XD I actually got Cinder for christmas and I am so excited to read it- I've heard nothing but good things about Marissa Meyer. :)<br /><br />Great job girly! <br /><br />xx Kenzie Kenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063428077125683786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3445138433367622139.post-84393190620084700192018-01-15T20:01:40.141-06:002018-01-15T20:01:40.141-06:00Ha!
