So, I've decided that if I really want to pursue a career in the English/Writing field, I NEED TO READ. It needs to become a weekly chore instead of something I simply enjoy. It's going to need a little dedication. Thus, I've started my Book of the Week series!
I started last week with Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I could not put it down and it seemed like it came at such a wonderful time. Waiting for my boyfriend (I just called him my boyfriend in writing...this is a moment) to return to Pittsburgh from a two week vacation, I perused Pitt's bookstore and found Fangirl on a clearance rack. I snatched her up and even the cashier was shocked to see her marked down so low. Fangirl was fated to fall into my hands; I landed a phone call with a Program Director of a Writing Program I'm particularly interested in and Cather's insecurity (and later, bravery) in her writing gave me the ounce of courage I needed to just ask what I needed to ask.
This week's book is The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. by Adelle Waldman. I hate it. I hate this book. I think it's awful. It isn't holding my attention. I barely read three sentences before I find myself wandering off. I'm trying to keep my ranting about this novel to a minimum, but this was a Buzzfeed suggestion and I have to say I am sorely disappointed. It feels sloppy, concepts and character traits are repeatedly shoved down the reader's throat. Ugh. I can't wait to be done with this one.
What books are you reading right now? Any suggestions? I have a list going, but would love to add to it! And while you're at it, follow me on Goodreads!
I just finished The Goldfinch which is a stunning piece of writing! I didn't connect with it at first but I'm so glad I persevered, the characters have such complexity and the plot takes you to places you just wouldn't expect, definitely worth a shot. What sort of writing are you into pursuing?

The Goldfinch? I'll add that to my list!! I'm always looking for new suggestions :)
DeleteI'm trying to decide right now whether I'd like to go into Non-fiction or Fiction writing...hopefully before my application goes in! haha!

Are you looking for genuine love spell caster?
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! It's worked within few hours! I just got my husband back through the help of genuine love spell caster Dr Unity. My name is Emily Sarah am from Tx,USA. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..
