A very satisfying ending to the series. Everything pretty much gets wrapped up which is good because I don’t know how you could have upped the stakes anymore with these characters.
Finished reading: Blood Slaves by Markus Redmond 📚
This was a hard one for me to read because of the violence that happens throughout the book. I’m happy that I stuck with it. Not a great book but still entertaining.
All Hail Chaos - ★☆☆☆☆
Finished reading: All Hail Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan 📚
In stories there are two ways to end a character. There is the death of the character; for example Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet. And then there’s when you kill any reasonable reason to like a character; for example Jacob from the Twilight Saga. In the first book, you can think of our “villains” as people making the most of a situation that they have no control over and working with characters that they didn’t feel were real. In this one, it feels as if bad people are doing the worst thing they can think of simply because they are bad people.
In this second book, the author turns up the “chaos” and the spice but inevitably makes it all one flavor. And that flavor is bad.
This book is a set up for the next one that I have no desire to read.
I wonder if Ed Sheeran will be the halftime show this year.
It doesn’t matter if you spend a lot of time making things clear. Sometimes, people just not read your emails.
You don’t owe anyone your attention
In the immortal words of Janet Jackson, what have you done for me lately?
We don’t know how much time we have left on this world and what will be the next thing to happen in our lives. It’s a resource that we waste more of just by wishing that we can get it back.
If you’re not interested in something, then you have choices. Past performances does not equal perpetual presence in our lives. If anything, you changing your mind about something is a good thing in that you’re continuing to reevaluate whatever got your attention in the first place.
I’ve been trying to relearn cursive and it’s made my handwriting eligible because I keep switching back and forth. I forgot how to do certain letters and my r, n, and m keep changing.
Finished reading: As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes 📚
This was a real treat. I loved all the joy that the people making the film seemed to have. I was listening to the audiobook and it was narrated by the wonderful Cary Elwes and friends. I miss Rob Reiner.
That’s the wrong prime!!!
