Yeah, not wanting to be Mockingjay'ed
Hah. I feel like ALL the YAs have this "Must be a trilogy!!" thing going on, and it irks. There are some that would be so much better as stand-alones (...though I get that marketing-wise that's not as worth it), or at most with a sequel.
I would totally see the movie. I suspect it will translate very well to film.
I just read "where'd you go Bernadette", which I can't decide if I liked. Maybe it was just overhyped. It had some cute very seattle things. But the plot was...odd? Confusing? Something.
Wow, you guys weren't kidding about Allegiant. That was
terrible.
I think I liked the mixture of styles and stuff more than the story, Meara. It was cute, but I do sort of not like that, once you decide you've written a comic novel, you can throw the kitchen sink in too, because it's wacky and it doesn't have to make sense. The best stand-up does.
I am halfway through
Gone Girl
and unnnggghhhh so uncomfortable I don't know where it's going or where I want it to go.
Put your seatbelt on, sweetie.
Since I listen to it while driving, I'm covered.
I think the audiobook be giving me an even more compelling experience than the print version because the readers are so good at bring the characters to life. They feel more like real people since I can hear them and their emotions.
