Wahey. Exams over, back to normal college routine (though final semester ever which is stressful. Prospect of severe unemployment and all). Which means much reading can be done underneath the desk at all my boring lectures! Hooray!
Not all my lectures are boring. We have Dapper again, which is a cause for celebration, though I’ve nearly had to move seats to escape the cooing mature students. Honestly, you’d think a group of ladies with a mean age of fifty seven would have more sense but noooooo. They sit in their little row (which they elbow you out of the way to get to, because god forbid they would have to sit somewhere else) and twitter away like fourteen year olds watching a Twishite film. Honestly.
My own friends aren’t much better to be honest. Today, I was very dismayed to discover that, though I’d managed to secure seats in the coveted back row, three of our number chose to sit at the very front just to get a better view of the delectable Dapper. Granted, he bears a striking resemblance to James Potter but really? I’ve spent three years marking our territory in that back row, all to be sacrificed for the first decent looking lecturer to pop up? Hoes over bros girls. Or indeed, prose.
Anyway, on to books. I have had a birthday, and despite nearly having to get a mortgage to buy my books for this semester I’ve read plenty. I’ve been introduced to the goddess that is Stephanie Perkins; I think that Anna and the French Kiss may well be one of the best young adult romances I’ve read ever. And Lord knows I’ve read enough. I also got a massive package from The Book Depository, containing:
Hourglass by Myra McIntire
Life Eternal by Yvonne Woon
The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Always a Witch by Carolyn McCullough
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
I have also read Heaven by Christoph Marzi, Hollow Pike by James Dawson, Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake and the Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. All of which were excellent, I’ve got to say. Really enjoyed the lot of them, and I think I might do reviews for a couple as well, seeing as that’s very a la mode right now.
Right. I have a massive pile of notes screaming for my attention. Chat soon.
