Book BFF Melissa

Sentinel reaction in gifs (NO spoilers)

I just finished Sentinel and I figured now that my life is over...I mean the series is over....I should review this last book. And I thought I'd use Supernatural gifs in honor of my favorite author.

Sentinel arrived to me by Amazon the Monday after it released. It took me awhile to calm down.

But once I did I was rewarded with lots of Aiden. We find out he apparently doesn't mind no pants and I'm okay with this discovery.

It was a lot of "I love you"
"No, I love you more"
but I was okay with that as well.
In fact I actually really enjoyed it. Aiden's my homeboy.

Also, I've never laughed so hard at meatballs before. I couldn't breathe.

Joining a sorority is a lot like Divergent...

Joining a sorority is a lot like Divergent...

You join greek life on campus and the day you accept your invitation, Bid Day, every organization gathers to see who chose their sorority or fraternity. You wear your sorority's colors and sit with them in the stands!

That night you celebrate with your new friends and find yourself surrounded by older frat boys. This is your expression.

Luckily I never experienced hazing, but some organizations still make their new members do crazy stuff. So this would be the time that would happen.

{Mini Reviews} Between the Devil ATDBS and Black City

2 Stars

I wanted to really like this one. The cover is gorgeous and the synopsis sounds so original and just amazing. I saved it to read in October thinking it would be perfect for Halloween. Unfortunately it wasn't very scary at all. I think the author was trying to go for a gothic theme with the creepy old mansion and the old clothes Violet wore, but it just didn't really work for me. Also, the plot was kind of confusing and felt all over the place. But I did enjoy the character Jack and even River a little. But her best friend Summer? I wanted to smack that girl every other page she was so annoying. Keep your legs closed girl!

This was one that I wanted to originally give 1 star, but then I got to page 264 and it redeemed itself in my eyes. HOWEVER. It shouldn't take that many pages to become enjoyable so I was stuck on how to grade this. I think the unique way she portrays vampires was so original and refreshing. And I loved that she used shocking twist to spice things up at the end. I think since I already won book two I'm going to continue the series, but I'm a little disappointed I spent my gift card on the first book.

What have you been reading lately?

NaNoWriMo Update #1 (Day 5)

NaNoWriMo

' I feel so powerful! I resisted the alluring BookTube videos and tweets that were calling out to me and actually wrote! And not just a few words here or there. On Sunday I was a total beast and knocked out over 5,000 words without even trying.

Top #= words that day
Bottom#= Total

And that calendar was a big part of my success so far. It sounds stupid, but the OCD in me HATES seeing that 0 every day. So I vowed to never not write ever again (if that double negative makes sense). Usually once I start writing I can't stop. So the push to write is all I need and then I'm off and POOF-- 5,000 words.
This calendar is literally eye level from my bed so it's the first thing I see in the morning...after my life sized poster of Daemon Black...just kidding...I wish I had one of those to wake up to every day. Maybe I'd actually be a morning person.

Allegiant review in 9 GIFs

4 Stars

I finally finished Allegiant which means I'm back on social media (I had been avoiding spoilers). So here is my spoiler free reaction to the final book in the Divergent series.

Me during the first 300 pages:

At Tris and Four's relationship

At the boring plot

Then around page 301 shit started going down.

And Veronica Roth broke me.

I cried into my breakfast and prayed no one came home and walked in on me crying over fictional characters.

After I finished and realized the series is over. Like for real. There wouldn't be any more books in the series. EVER.
