Alienated (Alienated #1) by Melissa Landers

4.0 out of 5 stars

Well, I'm just beginning to read alien books and I love them. This one, in particular, was quite interesting. The whole concept of an exchange program between alien species was pretty cool, and the characters weren't bad either.

7 Dilemmas All Excessive Readers Are Faced With...

If you're like me and you read excessively, then there at least 7 dilemmas you're faced with:

1. We can't carry ALL of our books everywhere- Whether it's just another day at school or work or you're actually going away for a little while, if you're an excessive reader like me then you have to take a few books with you, regardless of where it is you're going. The dilemma is this: You don't know what books to take. You spend more time trying to decide what books to bring along with you than the time you take to dress up.



2. Can I borrow your book? Irresponsible borrowers- This is easily one of the most infuriating questions of all time. To nice readers, at least. To us, this is a dilemma. You feel conflicted because you want to be nice and lend your book to this person, but at the same time you don't want your book to be destroyed because of that person's careless habits (and by destroyed I mean a crinkled cover or a folded page which is, admittedly, an exaggeration but nontheless a plausible and needed exaggeration)

3. We don't have an unlimited money supply- The title is self-explanatory. We don't have an unlimited amount of money to spend on books, unfortunately.

It took me an awfully long time to finish this book. Not because it was slow or anything. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It was a fast-paced, page-turning read that I enjoyed. The story was pretty good, the characters were likable, and the writing was better than decent. Wha…

Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) by Tahereh Mafi

3.5-4 out of 5 stars

So I finished this one and I liked it. I mean, the first few chapters were a little slow and initially, I didn't know exactly what was going on, but I liked it. I find it a little odd that this book is comprised of a handful of characters, most of whom appear in the last ha…
