Hii Blog!!
In my last post i mentioned that i recently have gotten into reading!! As a matter of fact, im 80% done with two books i started reading a week ago and decided to do a mid-way review!! yay!!
The first book is Funny Story by Emily Henry!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
I had first seen this book on tiktok while i was searching for books that were capable in making me enjoy myself and laugh a bit! Ill be honest, i didnt have such highhh expectations because i felt like it wouldnt be so good...After reading way more than half of it, ill admit, i quite like it!
Its a light hearted romantic sotry but ill be honest, i was in shock when i found out what the mc's fiance and ml's girlfriend did! Its like somehting a cartoon villain would do, and then the audacity to invite to their wedding.....CRIMINALL!!!
the ml and mc's relationship is very nice and I like how the book touches on more serious subjects too, but i have yet to finish it!! Hopefully i will in the next few days and will have the capability to produce a more in depth reading revew....haha
Nevertheless, during this time I also got to read one of the hunger games books!
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
I remember watching the movie adaptation a couple years ago when it first release, and boy I thought it was such such a good film, when i read the book the love and the admiration for this story just increased!
Coriolanous presents himself as such a complex chracter to understand as we continously see his inner thoughts and I was so suprised that so much was going on in his mind adn background that wasnt shown in the movie.
This book has kept me hooked from start to finish and i would lose sleep over reading one more chapter. As someone who has watched the original hunger game films, its so daunting to see a younger version of someone that later turns into this monster, and its so crazy to see similarities between characters in this version to characters that show up in the future in this universe.
I am also incredibly sad while reading this book because of so man serious themes seen that can not only be connected to the universe of the hunger games but also real life. The progressioon snow goes through sometimes gives me hope he couldve become a better man, then oyu get hit by these moments where his future, dictator, self especially shines through and brings you back to acknowledge the fate of this character. Characters like Lucy Gray and Sejanus made me especially gloomy because of the injustice thye had to face while going against this large powerhouse, it was sickening and frustrating to see how the tributes and, at times, Sejanus werent fully considered and viewed as actual human beings just because of theri districts. The war and propganda in the capitol completely dehumanised so many people and while reading, sometimes i need to pause by the way theyre being talked about, even if theyre fictional characters.
I believe i feel so strongly and so passionately about this book since it relfects a lot of current, real themes going on, making this story such an important one to read and learn about.
I will always always reccomend this book and the whole hunger games series and hope that it has moved others the way it has moved me. Deserves such a high rating!!!!!!
I need more book recs though!!!!
Thank you for listening to my blabbing!
Bye Angels!
