I excited about tomorrow, I am chopping my hair off. I need to its getting too heavy and giving me headaches worse than ever. I usually only cut my hair once a year lol, and usually in January. I will post a before and after picture later.
I have read three books since last time. Luckiest Girl Alive, Most Likely to Die and We Were Liars.
Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll was better than I expected. I had a lot of reservations going into it because of all the hype about it. I wont lie it took me a bit to get into it. It didn't pull me in with the first few pages like most books do. I kept on reading because I can't start a book and then not finish it. I did like how the backstory played into the story. I wont lie I didn't really care for the main character based on her present self, I mean I understand why she reinvented herself but to think that having material things would make you feel better about yourself and make you feel important is just lying to yourself. I liked to how she finally got to tell her story. I wouldn't have wanted to be friends with the people that she wanted as friends I mean they seemed so shallow. I never expected the book to be about a school shooting and they made me realize that it happens more than we think, and the reasons are just as simple as someone bullied me so I am going to go shoot up my school in retaliation. I recommend this book for many reasons. One: just know that you cant run from your past and try to reinvent yourself, if always comes back to bite you in the booty. Two: having material things will not make you a better person than someone else. Three: if you feel bullied please talk to someone and get help. I was not disappointed with this book I am happy to say!
Most Likely to Die by Lisa Jackson was a wild ride! I like how it was told from three friends perspective about what happened that night 20 years ago. I like how it all is resolved at their reunion and in the end they all end up with a person better than they were after in school. I never saw the ending coming, I had already picked who I thought the killer was and I was totally off base. I can see why she did it. When I say that it was told from three perspectives; I mean three different authors wrote the book, I think that's what made it so good. You got to sample three different authors style of writing while trying to figure who is killing all the girls that associated with the boy that was murdered at the Valentines Dance in High School. It kind of made me want to go find some books wrote by the two other authors. I will definitely be reading more of Lisa Jackson, she does suspense very well!
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart was a mystery from the beginning! I wont give any spoilers because that would give the whole book away. This book is a bout a family that spends their summers together on the island. Its about a being rich, bribery, lying, hiding the past, love, sacrifice, forgiving, and good intentions gone wrong. I think you will either love or hate this book. I wasn't sure about it when I started reading but as I kept going I started to figure some things out. I can say that I didn't like the sisters in the book, and the grandpa was a racist old turd! In the end it all made sense and you have to read it to find out things. the blurb on the back tells you nothing about the book. And if you do read it and someone asks how it was or how it ended LIE, so that they have to read it too.
I am starting How To Hang a Witch by Adriana Mathers. Its a New York Times Bestseller and soon to be made into a movie, so I feel I need to read it before I see it. Its about the Salem Witch Trials and I have always been interested in them. I can't wait to read this book.
