A bookworm's diary: May wrap up



A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin

The second book in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
THIS CANNOT BE SPOILER FREE BECAUSE SO MUCH SHIT IS GOING ON SO dON'T LOOK IF YOU HAVEN'T REAd IT YET, IT'S GOOd THO, REAd IT, BUT SKIP TO NEXT BOOK REVIEW NOW!!!

Everything is a mess in the seven kingdoms. Renly dies, Stannis gets the proper power-rage-boner and wants to take over the entire kingdom, Theon takes over Winterfell, Bran and Rickon flees from their home to live, Arya ends up as a serving girl at a castle plotting to run away, Daenerys finally finds a place that can possibly help her get an army so she can take the Iron Throne, Catelyn grieves for her husband and worries about her oldest son leading a war while her other children are scattered around the world, Sansa is being abused by the shitty king Joffrey. See how messy this shit is? But it's a good mess. A Song of Ice and Fire is a tough read if you have a hard time remembering a large amount of characters, but when you first get to know the characters, it's amazing. It's hard to write a review of this, I'm not even sorry.



A Living Soul by P.C Jersild


This book is not very "me". But I absolutely love it. I've read it before and finally got my own copy. The plot is very interesting, as you follow from a brain's perspective who goes by the name Ypsilon. That's what the main character is, a brain, a detached and and an eye. He lives in an aquarium and is being taken care of by a beautiful lab assistant. Through the entire book you follow him plotting how to escape his fish like situation, how he can win the beautiful assistant's heart and try and remember who he was when he had a body. It's hilarious and a different kind of read.



The Fault In Our Stars by John Green

I was honestly a bit meh about reading this. I somehow thought I was buying "Looking for Alaska" but saw I had bought this. I finally got myself together and read it. And I enjoyed it. Was it amazing? No. Was it disappointing? A little. Was it good? Yes.
It's about a girl named Hazel who goes to this support group for children with cancer. She's not very keen on going but to kill her mother's pestering, she ends up going. Here she makes friends with Isaac and the oh so beautiful Augustus. Eyes get taken out, hearts get broken, dreams shattered, people die, just life stuff.

What I'm currently reading:
In The Woods by Tana French
A Storm of Swords by George R.R Martin
The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

To be completely honest, I haven't been reading much since I finished A Clash of Kings. My head has been a mess and I've been sick so books haven't been my favourite thing to do (Netflix has been my lover) but I hope to get back into reading asap!
