"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Past. Present. Future. (29)



There are a a lot of these "What're you reading?" features around, so I figured, hey why not start one too? Basically, here's where I highlight the books I've read, the books I'm reading, and the books I'm going to read. Fun, right? Please join in if you want!

PAST:
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo - Loved, loved, loved this book!  It was so different, and there were times when I sympathized with each character (Yes even the Darkling), and then I'd do a 180 and be disgusted with some of the choices made.  Argh, it's the best book when it's like that!  The mythology of this series (yep it's a series!) is amazing and sucks you right in.  Pick it up if you haven't already!





PRESENT:
Transparent by Natalie Whipple - Just started this book Sunday, and I'm halfway done with it!  It is SO good.  Full of action and an interesting mix of crime and sci-fi.  Fiona, the protagonist, is the invisible girl, the only one of her kind.  It is interesting to read how Whipple develops a character who can never be seen and can't see her own face. Can't wait to finish, and you all should add it to your TBR list!





FUTURE:
The Elite by Kiera Cass - Got to read this book.  I really liked the first book, The Selection, and it left off on such a cliffhanger.  This is one of my picks for cheesy, easy reads.  A popcorn book if you will.  Try the series for a fun last summer read!








If any of you've read any of these books, let me know what you thought (but NO spoilers) down below in the comments!
