Heather's Reading List Of Awesome

Ooh, the first real post on our new blog. Exciting. And it's by me, not Ben. Mwahahahahahaha *cough*.

Anyway. Sorry.

This summer I decided to write myself a reading list. It (currently) consists of 15 books, all fiction, and all different (mostly). Seeing as this is a review-centred blog, I thought I'd review each one on here. Sound good? No? Shut up.

City of Bones - Cassandra Clare

Now, technically I've been 'reading' this book since last September, but I kept getting distracted by other stories and so I've been half way through it for multiple months. I decided that finishing this book would be a great way to start my reading list.

I decided to read City of Bones after seeing the film, which I really enjoyed. Unfortunately, I didn't like the book as much as I liked the film.

It starts off well, and the story is an interesting idea, but by the end I was just happy to have finished it. It didn't grip me as I would have liked it to, and Clare uses similies and metaphors in every other sentence. Why.

Argh, I hate writing bad reviews about books. Sigh.

However, there were aspects of it that I really liked. For example, I loved Simon. He's so adorable and funny and I like that he actually gets annoyed at Clary and doesn't just go along with everything she says. I also liked the fact that there is an LGBTQ+ character who's storyline doesn't revolve around the fact that he is LGBTQ+.

I still don't feel compelled to read the rest of the series, though. I think I'll just Google what happens to Simon and Alec.

I'm sorry that this was mostly negative. It's all just my opinion, though. I know there are loads of City of Bones fans around - there's often gifs of Jace on my tumblr dash.

The next book I will be reading is A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby. Keep your eyes pealed for my (hopefully more positive) review.

Heather out.

Not Tumblr

This is not okay. I have feels about a TV show/book/film/CD/thing and nowhere apart from the depths of tumblr to share them.

Until now.

Welcome to our blog. Remember me? I was the obsessed weird psychotic woman who did that post on Ben's blog once (shameless self promotion? Nothing? Okay, please yourself...) about fandoms. But don't be alarmed! We are not going to go fandomy on you.

Yeah, right...

This is the place to go for reviews, thoughts and feel(ing)s about cool things. From now on, we will be posting reviews on here and Ben's other blog (www.aleapintonothing.blogspot.com) will be reserved more for the random deep thoughts that confuse everyone. His other one is dead. RIP that blog.

We'll be here after the cliffhanger.

And on Wednesdays we wear pink.
