Heyo!
Today, let us just get to the point. I have a LOT to say about the books. Shall we?
Book(s) read:
- Girl Online by Zoe Sugg
- Grace's Guide: The Art of Pretending to be a Grown-up by Grace Helbig
Thoughts: It's a good reading day! Aren't you guys proud of me?
First of all, I want to talk about Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. I finished it. I didn't really like it. The plot was really jumpy. One thing moved on to another in a snap without any solution or even reasoning. The love story also happened in a blink of an eye. I was like, WHAT? IT DOES NOT WORK LIKE THAT! I love you, Zoe. I really do. It is so unfortunate that I don't like your book as much.
Now on to Grace's Guide. I've listened to it a few times in 2014. I just got the book in the mail a few days ago. What kind of stupid person orders something at the end of the year without considering that he/she lives on the other side of the world and that it was holiday season? Apparently me. I picked this book up because I know I love it. And that I don't even in the slightest bit mind reading (or rather, listen to) it over and over again. I know for a fact that the "Grace Helbing-ness" of it would make up for my disappointment for the start of the read-a-thon.

PS: I would post the picture of Grace's Guide here but since I am a scum of a human being, I won't.
