...in other words, I questioned humanity and refell in love with Lois Lowry's writing
THE ATLAS OF LOVE BY LAURIE FRANKEL:

Congrats on your reading! How are you liking your books?
ReplyDeleteI'm pleasantly surprised with The Atlas of Love...I read reviews on goodreads saying it wasn't very good...as of 1/3 done I'm loving it so far! I'm glad I didn't psych myself out before giving it a chance. :) How're you doing?
DeleteI haven't read The Giver since Jr High - maybe I should give it a re-read with the movie and all ;) And Atlas of Love sounds good!! Good Luck with Bout of Books!

I'd reccomend rereading it! I'm SO glad I reread it...I honestly forgot so much of that book in the past few years :)
DeleteI recently read the giver. I am glad you enjoyed it! You are doing great I hope you have another good day of reading and have gotten rid of that headache.
ReplyDeleteI'm honestly feeling a lot better this morning, thanks for the concern. :) Hope your day today is just as lovely!
DeleteGreat reading! I ended Day 1 with a headache too :(
ReplyDeleteThey're the worst! Hope you feel better today :)
DeleteI've never read The Givers, but with the upcoming movie I'm more interested in giving it a shot. Happy reading and good luck the second day :D

You should read it. It's not only a fantastic book but also sends you into an existential crisis. ;) haha. Thanks so much! I'll check out your blog right now.
DeleteThe Giver is an amazing book. Most people don't like it nor do they understand it but it's pretty great. I hope you'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThe Giver has fantastic symbolism and I'm glad I reread it a second time so I could grasp it better. Hope you have a good day of reading! :)
DeleteYou read a fantastic amount of pages, well done! I have The Giver on my TBR pile, still need to read it though :)
ReplyDeleteKyra @ Bout of Books Updates!
Today has not been a good day for reading so far. This is my first time all day I've gotten a chance to start reading...yikes! Hopefully I'll be able to binge read for the rest of the day. :)
ReplyDeleteREAD IT! If you do, let me know so we can talk about it!
Haha, I love your use of GIFs! Also, I feel like the last person on the planet over the age of 13 who hasn't read The Giver, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've been making fantastic progress! Good luck with the rest of Bout of Books. :)
Thank you! I'm a sucker for gifs. You really should read it! It's a pretty fast read!
DeleteThank you! Good luck to you as well. :)
Your reaction to The Giver perfectly reflects mine...Gathering Blue was a bit less depressing...just a bit. Good luck for the rest of the event!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Gathering Blue but haven't had a chance to pick it up from Barnes and Noble yet...Is it worth the read?
DeleteI liked it and I still want to continue with the full Quartet. I got them from the library so I didn't buy it.
DeleteI should probably get them from the library. But there is a beautiful version of the quartet that I have been eyeing...I guess we will see what I end up doing!
Delete(I mean look at it! I want this on my bookshelf: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-giver-quartet-omnibus-lois-lowry/1118930949?ean=9780544340978)
Oh it is beautiful! And I love that is and omnibus...you could get Gathering Blue from the library and if you like it then get this gorgeous thing!
DeleteThat sounds like a good plan! :)
DeleteHaha! What IS the Atlas of Love? I'm super curious now.
ReplyDeleteI've got to read The Giver. I read Gathering Blue years ago without any concept it was part of a series.
I HAVE NO IDEA! I got it from Goodwill for $2.00...I read somewhere it described as "contemperary chick-lit for intelligent females", so that's a thing?
DeleteYikes, I did that before with the book This World We Live In bu Susan Beth Pfeffer...I still haven't went back and read the first two books(oops). But yes! Do read The Giver!
