When your biggest question is, "What pajamas am I going to wear today?" life is good.
My cousin B. is in town, and I took the opportunity to take three days off from work (which I desperately needed, btw), even though he's not even available every day, and even when he is, it's usually only in the evenings. I love doing nothing. All day. Every day. It feels like a really good purpose in life.
The only thing that bums me out is how quickly it's going. I'm already on day 3 of my vacation. How can that be?! Also, I hate being a girl. At least sometimes I do. Right now is one of those times. Also, my dizziness is back. Not in a really bad way, but still, it's there. And the tinnitus has never really gone away. That's annoying too.
BUT. Those things aside, it's pretty darn great to be on vacation.
I just finished The 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey. I really liked it. On the last page of the book I was like, "Oh, you are not ending things here, you bastard, you are n-- you did. Damn it." So of course I immediately went online and tried to find more info -- namely, if there is going to be a sequel. Which there is. Whew. And not too far off, either. May 2014. Could be worse. Could be like The Winds of Winter, which is going to come out when GRRM is damn good and ready. Sigh.
Anyway, T5W. I really liked it. Some reviewer said it was The Hunger Games meets The Passage, which is... pretty accurate. It's not a perfect book by any means, but it was entertaining. I whizzed through it. It took me 150 pages to be all in, but at that point, I was all in. The jacket description is fairly intriguing, but it omits a lot. Deliberately so, and I understand it, because you don't want all your plot twists given away on the book jacket. Then again, it's that much more interesting when you get extra details, of course. :D But I'm not going to give anything away outside a cut! What do you take me for.
( I will, however, give everything away inside a cut. So be forewarned. Super spoilery book details contained herein. )
As I was reading through it, I was thinking that it'd actually make a really good TV series. Or movie, which I guess is what it's currently being optioned to be.
