Book Review: Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

Book: Afterworlds

Author: Scott Westerfeld

Genre: YA, fiction, fantasy

Rating: 3.5/5

Format: Hardcover

Where I got the book: I really loved his Uglies series and had the picked up the chapter preview from B&N one day. Then bought the book when I saw it after it came out.

Favorite Character: Darcy/Yama


So I kind of broke the rules of this book I feel. I started reading it like normal, alternating stories with each chapter, but it was so jarring and I had trouble getting into it. So I ended up reading all the Darcy chapters then going back and reading all the Afterworlds chapters. Once I started this I got super into it, especially Darcy's story, because I wasn't pulled away ever chapter. I had a little more trouble getting through the AW chapters, but I can't complain much since I read the book wrong.

Overall I enjoyed this book, despite the strange layout. I'm not sure if I would have read it so quickly if I read it in order, as it loses some of the pull. I don't think it was quite as good as Uglies, though that is a whole series and this is a single (double?) novel. I would suggest trying to read it as suggested and deciding which way works for you. <3 p="">

Book Haul: Half Priced Books

I have a bad (good?) habit of going to Half Price Books, going the clearance section, and just buying every book that looks interesting. There were more I wanted to get but I put myself on a $10 limit. So here's what I got, hopefully I'll get to them soon, though they have some in front of them.

Book Review: Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story by David Levithan

Book: Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story

Author: David Levithan

Genre: Musical, YA, LGBT, fiction

Rating: 5/5

Format: Hardcover

Where I got the book: Companion book to a book I love, "Will Grayson, will grayson" by David Levithan and John Green. 

Favorite Character: Not a big character development book, haha. But we'll go with Will, or lower case will from WGwg.


I read Will Grayson, will Grayson a long time ago but I really loved it. I didn't realize this was coming out until John Green talked about it in a video and I immediately ordered it off of Amazon. It was a super fast read and it was fun. I more in depth at Tiny's past with the end referencing to some of the events of WGwg. It made me want to go back and reread the book.

Overall a fun, light, short read by an author i have really enjoyed. It was interesting to read a musical as you end up singing to random notes in your head, haha.

Star Wars Collection update

So this isn't a big update but I just wanted to show you a few things I got this week. I went to Half-Priced books and went though all of their comics to dig out any Star Wars ones I didn't have. Came up with this:

$3.00 for them so I can't complain. Next time I go to the comic store I'm going to grab a bunch of extra bag&boards so I can file them away with the rest.

I'll keep trying.

I swear, I'm horrible at blogging. Well I currently have the urge to Vlog, but I can't find my camera anywhere. So why not start a blog in it's place? Blogging requires a lot less technology

So I will take this opening blog to first tell you that if you like Star Wars, you should join theforcebook.com.

Also, you should listen to episode 8 of the Forcebook Podcast (formally The Forcebook Cnatina Podcast), where we talk about the Blu-rays and I have two lines. :)
