Currently: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close & A Lover’s Dictionary
Extremely Loud has been such a difficult read for me, mostly because of circumstance. I keep on delaying reading. Maybe someday I’ll find a better time.
Book cover redesign project: part II.
Please, don’t remove credit. Thank you!I bought some small sketchbooks to put the covers on. c:

Spent a great deal on books this week! I don’t even know why I bother (but I always will), I mean, I’ve only read one so far this year (Memories of My Melancholy Whores).
It’s probably because I know I’d find the time someday, even if it means when I’m already old and alone and wrinkly.
Purchases of the week! The sad thing though is that I haven’t read a book since the year started. It’s pretty alarming given that my target was to read 30 books or so. But anyway, the book purchases continue!
And probably a better photo next time.
Finally found a purpose for the red notebook I received for Christmas two years ago. I am betting on a nice “have read list” this year, because last year sucked with only a little over 15. Pathetic.
It’s been some days since I was last really online. Our lines are all (still really) messed up, and that’s the long and short of it. In my online downtime I was busy mulling over whether I should start reading The Hunger Games, a book which I’ve bought weeks ago (September!). And I did. I started reading it last Thursday, because I was so bored and I haven’t had any classes and I just really wanted to do something. It kind of makes me feel bad that I pushed it down as an almost last resort. But hey, it kept me up until about 3 in the morning and it was a good thing my class started at 1.
The plan was to read it and wait for the paperback version of Catching Fire (because I am poor and I bought the first one paperback and I want consistency). But as plans go, what I did instead was scour the WWW for an illegal pdf copy (whilst hyperventilating and over-thinking). It wasn’t hard at all, seeing as it’s so popular and all. Catching Fire had such a resounding cliffhanger. It really did. It haunted me, clawing at my mind, the characters just eating away at my thoughts. The last few sentences were just on repeat and I decided to just go right on and download Mockingjay.
And as all good books do to me, I am in the long long phase of thinking things over and obsessing over the Trilogy. The Hunger Games is officially on the surprisingly narrow list of things-I-should-have-done-during-the-sembreak.
