Not to be crass or anything, but opinions are like assholes. EVERYONE HAS ONE. So why do people constantly assume that their opinion is “right?” That their opinion is the only one acceptable to have?

A while back, Asti @ Oh, the Books! made the post There […]
I knew going in that this was a companion novel and not an actual sequel. I was a little worried that it wouldn’t be the same without Nisha and *coughs* JERRIT, but this book was still awesome.

I requested the ARC, tried trading on YA Book Exchange, even tried to see if any of my friends had […]

Most people are pretty nonchalant about the fact that I’m a reader. When I tell them how many books I read on average, they’re either like “Oh wow, good for you!” or “Holy crap, I wish I could get into reading” or even sometimes just look at me weird and nod like they don’t get it.
