Books I'm Hoping to Read Over Spring Break

 Over this next week of pure relaxation (thank goodness :)), I plan to catch up on books that I've either not started yet, or finish up books I have started. Here's my list of some I'm looking forward to finishing up (all cover images from Amazon).

1. To Kill A Mockingbird
I've been mentioning this in a few posts, so I really want to finish it. It's going great so far!


2. Yours Truly


3. Le Petit Prince
I acquired a French version (the original language) of The Little Prince a couple of days ago. From the first page, it was hilarious. 


4. The Book Thief
I got this one a few weeks back, and since its movie was released in 2013, I've been meaning to read it.


5. Soar
I've always seen this book in the library, so I brought it home to give it a try.



Books I read this week already: 11 Gifts by Wendy Mass (I disliked this one) and Finally by Wendy Mass (much, much better). I actually liked Finally a lot, and 11 Gifts seemed to repetitive to me. Also, even though it was a middle grade book, the language seemed a bit cheesy at points.
What books do you want to catch up on? What books did you read in the past week? Tell me below!

Some of My Favorite Villains of Literature

 All the heroes get the praise they deserve, but what about the villains? Where would Harry Potter be without Voldemort? And what would Rapunzel do without her evil captor? Here are five villains who deserve all the hate they get. 

1. Dolores Umbridge, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Is there anyone as infuriating as Umbridge? My spine curdled every time she was mentioned.

2. The Queen of Hearts, Alice Through the Looking Glass
Alright, this villain was just really hilarious. She kept screaming "Off with her head!" like she was crazy.

3. Jeanine Matthews, Divergent
Jeanine is one of the most manipulative villains in a dystopia. Not to mention that she's one of the scariest as well.

4. Colonel Vosch, The 5th Wave
Alien sci-fi's not really my type, but this book captured my attention from the start. In addition to creepy, the aliens are all really smart (unfortunately).

5. Marge, Big Game
Here's another really funny "villain" from the MG world, who was quite irritating at points, which is what makes her great. Though, to be honest, she's not really "evil", just desperate to prove herself, and though she wasn't my favorite, she was definitely humorous.

So, who are your favorite villains? Are they funny, lame, or really evil? Tell me in the comments below!

Book Updates

 I finally got Yours Truly in the library by Heather Vogel Frederick. I personally thought Absolutely Truly was okay, but I'm pretty excited to read this one. The cover's so pretty, too!


 I'm almost one-third done with To Kill a Mockingbird. It's really good so far, and the funniest part is that the narrator is only seven years old, and the language sounds like it's coming from an adult. Oh, the irony :).
Anyways, I hope some book reviews will be up soon, and hopefully a save the earth post coming too! Keep reading!

Readathon

 Yay! I'm so happy to finally share with you guys that I'm participating in a Readathon, where you read books and take quizzes on them. Based on the number of points you and your group earn per quiz (bigger books for older audiences means more points on average), you can win a party! I'm going to try my best to earn a lot of points, and a lot of sponsors at that. We have about two months to earn all of them. I can't wait to get started!

Have you ever participated in a Readathon before? Tell me all about it below!

Bad News...

 Unfortunately, due to the limited time I have during the week, I cannot further continue this blog. I've learned a lot through my blogging, and even though it's only been two full years, I've had a lot of fun. I hope you all have enjoyed the book reviews, arts and crafts, and save the earth posts I've done. Thank you for being such fun readers! I always enjoy hearing from everyone with feedback! I will continue to leave this blog open, even though there isn't too much of a point to come back anyways. Here's to a fun two years!
