Thou Shall Read Till Thy Eyes Bleed

So...

...Ive been having a crisis of fate lately. And that's so ironic cause there ain't much fate in me to begin with. But I guess you can only call this a crisis of fate. How did it began? Well, glad you asked...

This is not going to be so long, I'm going to keep my pouting to the minimum. I was at school, and this university was visiting. I am a senior, so I have to go to this things. So they started talking and well, I panicked. Right then and there. Of course nobody found out. I was just the weird girl who reads too many books and is too hyper to really pay attention. But I panicked. The big question hit me...
Why bother?

In the big picture, why even bother? You try to do your best, but this world is to messed up, for lack of a better word, that people who don't deserve something usually are the ones who get it, and people who work hard, and deserve it, don't get shit. Why bother if we are all going to die anyways? People work so hard for something, and then, it's like, it doesn't matter to anyone but you. And you want it to matter, but this world is SO big, that what you do counts with very little weight. Its just a drop of sand in an endless beach.

So I was in a foul mood for days since my optimistic bottom was malfunctioning. I did badly on HW that any other week would have been fine with me. I didn't read enough, about anything. Miracle I finished Envy, just so I could really get away from this world I guess. And my review didn't even compare to what my reviews are usually like! I noticed, but oh well. I'm sorry.

You see, it's hard to find a silver lining. Will I get into college? Maybe. Will I get into the college of my choosing? Maaayyybe. Will I get lucky and get financial aid so good I can GO to college? Agh, chances are very slim. So I got a crisis of fate. Or whatever. Anyways, I seem to have found a way to repair my positive bottom, cause I'm back. And trying to not go there again.

I started reading One Foot In The Grave today, cause I was dying to, and well, I ate the book. I will post my review tomorrow, now it's 3 a.m. and well, I would like to get some sleep.

Why the superman picture? I was feeling a bit random.

Thank you for reading, if you have, you are my hero-Superman, Hero, Get it? *winks*.

Review: Envy by Anna Godbersen (The Luxe #3)


Title: Envy
Author: Anna Gobbersen
Series: A Luxe Novel

Pages: 405

Reading Level: YA
Book Rating: .9

Goodreads Rating: 3.90
Published: Jan. 27th, 2009

Jealous whispers. Old rivalries. New betrayals.
Welcome Back To Manhattan 1900.

Two months after Elizabeth Holland's dramatic homecoming, Manhattan eagerly awaits her return to the pinnacle of society.

When Elizabeth refuses to rejoin her sister Diana's side, however, those watching New York's favorite family begin to suspect that all is not as it seems behind the stately doors of No. 17 Gramercy Park South.

Farther uptown, Henry and Penelope Schoonmaker are the city's most celebrated couple. But despite the glittering diamond ring on Penelope's finger, the newlyweds share little more than scorn for each other. And while the newspapers call Penelope's social-climbing best friend, Carolina Broad, an heiress, her fortune—and her fame—are anything but secure, especially now that one of society's darlings is slipping tales to the eager press. In this next thrilling installment of Anna Godbersen's bestselling Luxe series, Manhattan's most envied residents appear to have everything they desire: Wealth. Beauty. Happiness. But sometimes the most practiced smiles hide the most scandalous secrets. . . .

Taschima's POV:

And just when you think Anna might have no more new ideas, she pulls them out of a hat.

Envy is a delightful read! The suspense, oh god the suspense. Will Carolina fall from grace? Will Elizabeth ever be happy? Will Penelope ever stop being so evil? Will Henry and Diana finally find a way to be together?

All is good in Manhattan, birds are singing, ladies are drinking tea, the usual, or is it? If all is good, why are all our main characters running away from New York into the sunny state of Florida? Yes, in this installment we take a trip. And what a delightful, and full of events, trip that was.

I am loving all my characters, except maybe for Penelope, but who could?! She is as hateful as ever.

I do not want to give it all away, I mean this is the third book in the series, it's very difficult not to give spoilers. Just know that the story takes a whole other twist, and well our characters are coming out of their shell, being less spoiled, and starting to really live.

So just be sure to put a pillow right beneath you, because this book will leave you with your jaw on the floor. I can't wait for Splendor, who knew I could love this series so?

Teaser Tuesday (On Wednesday)

Yay! Back to the old ways... Teasers Tuesdays on Wednesdays *wink wink*

I still am reading Envy by Anna Godbersen, but this is not because the book doesn't merit attention, believe me it does, it's just that I'm packed with school work, and it's making me crazy. And whenever I don't have homework, I sleep. So you get my point. The book is very good so far, then again I loves this series.

Envy by Anna Godbersen

"The train rattled on its tracks, the movement of the car unsteadying Henry, so that suddenly he was much closer to Diana. He was still looking at her with those ardent eyes, and for a brief moment she was sure that the same idea was in both their minds"
Pg.129

Good!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and I'm reading two more books, yes, ASH and Beowulf. Have to read Beowulf, and it ain't so bad. Ash I'm still in the process of making a decision. Anyways hope you like the quote.

Happy reading,
