finished... finally

Yes, finally done with Wicked Lovely. The tome was not really bad. I just started this year with a pretty hectic schedule, and I could only scan a few pages at a time during breaks. Apologies, Miss Marr.

Anyhow, the plot was all right. It was downright exciting in some parts actually. But all in all, it had this quality of being a mesh between a Hallmark and a Syfy miniseries. The love story is a bit wonky and flat. It was unexpected and that is good, seeing as the popular schemes tend to be the predictable ones. And I actually like the pairings, but it kinda felt a little contrived. Still, I bet many would watch this... if somebody made this into a feature film or TV movie. And no, I'm not typing anything more to save me from my "spoiler giver" tendencies. If you're a fan of anything supernatural, which I am, giving some of your leisure time to this might be well worth it.

Next on the list:

(Just couldn't resist posting an image of the Wordsmith God. ^_^)

It will be a revisiting of previous books I've read... (of previous awe-inspiring books I've read. Haha)
just because they're awesome... :P

Meanwhile, I just saw this lovely omnibus edition of American Gods and Anansi Boys. I am so green with envy! :P

positively drooling over this... *facepalm*

Finally, Wicked Lovely

Got a text message over the weekend that the Melissa Marr tome I ordered from Fullybooked has arrived. Finally! I have been rummaging bookstores here in my beautiful but not-so-updated city for the novel for months. Tried hunting for a second hand copy but after a while I just got really impatient and ordered it. Now that it's here, I can't help feeling pressured to finish this book I'm currently reading--and procrastinating over for months now.

Hopefully, I get to finish this current tome this week so I can start on a new one. I have got to try to find some time--not to mention the will--to plod through to the last page of this book! Don't get me wrong, the book isn't bad. It's just that this is a re-read because I couldn't--for the life of me--remember the details, not even the plot. And the succeeding books are out and I'm coming up with plotholes so enourmous I suspect it may be a sinkhole that's perpetually growing in my noggin'.

Anyways, wish me tons of luck!
