I admit it, when I realized how The Fault In Our Stars was going to end i had to put it down. I read almost all of the book in one sitting and then had to stop. i could only read little bits at a time. I fell like I was trying to stop it from ending. It was so good though, I was drawn in by the characters. I finished it earlier today. I tried not to cry. I failed. On to the next thing that will tear my heart out.

I know I skipped an update and there’s a big gap in there but in the gap is half of The Kite Runner, which was so depressing I had to put it down and pick up something lighter. Because a song of ice and fire counts as light now. There will now be a gap until at least august between George R.R. Martin books because that happens to be when the paperback of A Dance with Dragons comes out and I can’t afford to get the hard-bound copy. I then read cat’s cradle in 3 days and am frankly ashamed that a 300 page book took me so long. I can however say that it was fantastic and I am looking forward to reading more Vonnegut. At the suggestion of a tumblr’r I purchased a few the last time I hit a book store so for my next Vonnegut I think I’ll take a stab at Timequake. For Now, I started “The Fault in our stars” last night waiting for my friend to decide if she was going to make me watch glee or not. She did not. Instead, we giggled over One Direction. Don’t judge me. I now promise to finish the Kite Runner by the end of May but I’m going to try to squeeze another couple of books in between now and then, some fluffy stuff maybe, to prepare myself for the utter horror of that book. For now, I head to a cliff to sit on a bench and read a book about a girl with cancer. Because I am suddenly 13.
