And AAGAGGHHH BERMUDAAAAA THOSE PICS LOOK SO AMAZING AND YOU LOOK SO CUTE. <3 I NEED Always and Forever, and THUG, and I have Strange the Dreamer checked out from the library which makes me super happy!<br /><br />And I know I've said this before...

I feel like i...I definitely agree with you on BLLB. I feel like it mostly just set up everything for TRK? I think you could view it as just a prologue - albeit a huge one - to TRK. Because it felt like a lot of the book was spent gearing up for something, but not a lot actually //happened//.<br /><br />Haha, yes, I definitely empathize with your feelings on R&J. I personally don't view it as a love story; I think that reading it in that light causes a person to ignore half its value. I think R&J is, at its core, not a love story, but a hate story. I think the main theme of the play is about the horrible things hatred does to us and how we should try loving instead of hating, for that will make us happier in the end. (Or dead, but y'know.) Shakespeare simply used the vehicle of a love story to communicate this theme because the contrast between love and hate is so great it was the easiest way for his audience to relate to and catch onto the theme. <br /><br />I NEED TO SEE MOANA SO BADLY, AHHH. I did watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail this month, though, and enjoyed it immensely. XD<br /><br />Yessss, Pure Heroine. Lorde is one of those people who could punch me in the face and I'd probably thank her. XD<br /><br />I totally agree with you on Goodbye Days - the writing was phenomenal, but I couldn't connect to the characters or the humor. (Well, except Nana Betsy. She was AMAZING.) Thanks to you, The Secret History has made its way onto my TBR! You'll probably read it before I do, though, so I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Flame in the Mist is another one of my upcoming reads; I just got it from the library! Besides those, my June TBR includes The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich, Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia, and Return of the Emerald Skull by Paul Stewart (a new favorite author!).<br /><br />Ellie | <a href="http://www.ontheothersideofreality.org" rel="nofollow">On the Other Side of Reality</a><br />Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016450998401859766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-88453871565685263672017-06-01T14:40:04.409-05:002017-06-01T14:40:04.409-05:00I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAVEN BOYS AND I LOVE...I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAVEN BOYS AND I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH! I think this series is gonna be awesome, and Ronan is definately one of my favourites (like I could choose). I've never seen Moana? But everybody I know keeps singing this really cool song from it (I think the Rock sings it???) and I wanna see it so bad!<br /><br />Just spent ages flicking through your blog like a cyber-stalker, btw, and I'm 100 per cent giving it a follow! :)Elle https://www.blogger.com/profile/07518290032673211900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-38263955094258660582017-05-31T14:50:54.737-05:002017-05-31T14:50:54.737-05:00ahh you are so sweet and thank you :)) actually, i...ahh you are so sweet and thank you :)) actually, it was only torture at the beginning-- i really wanted to soak in the beautiful landscape while i could! i can always blog for the rest of the summer anyway!<br /><br />i loved ATBP but i haven't read Holding Up the Universe yet and i'm not sure if i will...maybe if i can't figure out anything else to read (if that ever happens lol)<br /><br />thanks for the good luck on exams...i really have no idea whether i did okay or not! i hope that you do well too! i really liked Moana a lot! i lovED the music and the animation of the movie :D<br /><br />i would love to know your thoughts on the books when you finish them! thanks for reading :)Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757733914466794736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5610280921702097309.post-76599483322100638332017-05-31T08:51:53.705-05:002017-05-31T08:51:53.705-05:00AHH, EXCUSE ME WHILE I DIE OVER THE PERFECTION OF ...AHH, EXCUSE ME WHILE I DIE OVER THE PERFECTION OF YOUR POSTS.<br /><br />Ahem, anyways, this was a pretty exciting post! OH, the torture of not having your laptop, *dies at the thought of it*. ACTUALLY, I've done it before but IT IS STILL PAINFUL!<br /><br />I haven't The Sun Is Also A Star yet, but I read Everything Everything this month and while there was a whiff of insta-love i didn't mind it. It wasn't worth all the hype, but it was a sweet read. I loved ATBP, it crushed my soul. I read Holding Up The Universe by Jennifer Niven but for some reason I didn't like it??? It was such a disappointment compared to Bright Places. <br /><br />EEK, I had exams as well! I hope you get wonderful results, because I know I won't be getting the best *weeps* Congrats on winning a writing contests even though it wasn't THAT big of a deal! AND Those photos are GORGEOUS <3<br />Hey, I watched Moana for the first time this month too!You looked like baby Moana, that's so cool! Did you enjoy the movie?<br /><br /><br />I'm going to read THUG, Strange The Dreamer, ADSOM, One Of Us Is Lying and some others this month so we are quite similar there! Flame In The Mist and Fangirl are on my general TBR though!Mahriyahttps://mybookylife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
