Had to read for school. It's the first greek play that I've read, and it was pretty cool. I definitely want to read more greek plays.

Great ending! I love my little guys :)))
I'm going to be absolutely insufferable after the anime comes out.

I don't think I like the Scott Pilgrim books as much as the movie and it makes me really sad. I'm just forcing myself to finally finish the series before the anime comes out. I'm also reading the books because I just love the characters.

I really liked most of the book, but some points kinda made me uncomfy, but I think that was just me. I cried at the end tho.

I'm obsessed with Frankenstein now and I thought this would be like a retelling, but it wasn't really. It didn't really focus much on the actual Frankenstein part, which is completely fine, but I just thought/hoped it would. It's a good book, but I just had different expectations.

a lot of the star wars books that i've read have sooo much action in them, and i just want to learn more about the characters :(
i'll probably pick this back up later.

I had to read this for school, and I'm so glad I did. It was amazing, and I loved it so much. I'm a big fan of zombies, and I always wanted to read this book, but I never ended up doing it. Now I had to, and I'm very glad!
