I got married you guys. I have to adult now, and it's drastically cutting into my reading time at the moment.

I love this girl already.

She has said "son of a bitch" seven times already and it's only the first chapter

"It's a powerful experience, shitting. There's something magical about it, profound even. I think God made humans shit in the way we do because it brings us back down to earth and gives us humility. I don't care who you are, we all shit the same. Beyoncé shits. The pope shits. The Queen of England shits. When we shit we forget how famous or rich we are. All of that goes away.

I'm drunk but I haven't finished any books lately so I can't write any drunk reviews.

Lying gave her a sticky feeling in her chest, like she'd accidentally inhaled a condom.

.....what?

Squeezing someone's nipple isn't really the way to judge pain response medically....

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING THIS HELP ME MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL
This is a cool idea for my fellow bookworms! If you own a book you have already read and want to own a book you haven't read, like this post!!
Let's shake things up a bit. We need at least 6 people to participate in a book exchange who live anywhere. Just send a book to one person. You'll receive approx. 36 back. Free books! Like this! =)

From the Author's Note: Finally, no historical evidence supports the idea that Teddy Roosevelt was a poor hand-washer. I'd like to extend my sincere apologies to all surviving Roosevelts for any insult to their ancestor's personal hygiene.

The female narrator's imitation of a male voice is so ridiculous I can't stop laughing

finished, but a little too raw over it to write the review now.

Lots of oversharing: "Vanessa Vasser, Von's headstrong American mother, was Leeza's aunt, her late mother's sister who had met Von's father, from a wealthy Swiss chocolate-industry family, on a post-graduate vacation in Zurich."

Feeling kind of down, so drinking all the beer and applying for all the giveaways!

So far the word "hulls" has showed up 7 times and there hasn't actually been any ships

Slowly but surely...

Tarkin and Vader's conversations are the best

I'm still not entirely sure I know WHY all this stuff is happening, but whatever there's action!

"This is Char, named for his skin, which is black as charcoal, like his soul. He doesn't speak much, but when he does it is with a gun. You will never forget what he says, because you will be dead."

This woman is a bestseller with characters like this?

So what I've learned so far (even though our protag is too much of a dunderhead to realize) is that her dead best friend's parents are involved and that her mother isn't actually dead.

This is one of those books that seems dauntingly large but then goes really quickly once you start reading it...

Maybe 3rd time's the charm, yes?

I'm 45 pages in and still not entirely sure what's happening

This marks the third time now that they have ordered everything off the menu and then left a ton of food. Wasteful.

Hate me, then. Struggle. Rail against me. Rebel at every turn, but it will do you no good. You will cause yourself only more pain. I told you, Lily, you are bound to me and you will remain by my side for as long as I wish it.

the love interest, everybody.

Though it was definitely strange and all kinds of wrong to find him not only in the building I lived in but also on the same floor and just outside my room, I was surprised that I felt happy to see him, crazy stalker or not. this is after the guy cast a spell so he could heal himself after a car accident, and now she feels all the pain he doesn't.

Ugh I hate this snobby brat already

What are the lessons to be learned from this journey of the mind? That humans are emotionally fragile, perennially gullible, hopelessly ignorant masters of an insignificant small speck in the cosmos.
Have a nice day.
