A Long Time Coming

Now, I feel like a bad blogger. But to be honest, (because let’s face it… that’s what the internet is for, is it not?) I haven’t felt much like updating it. I then proceeded to go on vacation to New Orleans, and have way too much fun and way too much food, and I really would love to be back there right about now. I have since, completed Beautiful Creatures. Having seen the movie first (yes, I know), I can say that they are to be taken as two very different entities. The movie is gorgeous as a visual piece of artwork. And I will say that it was better adapted (style-wise) than the Twilight movies were. But then again, there are no sparkling vampires in these books.

Review: Dream of Perpetual Motion (& more!)

Talk about a labor of love, or half-love. It took me so very long to get through The Dream of Perpetual Motion that I wonder if the first couple of months were worth it. I feel that most of the action-packed, sensical part of the novel was stuck towards the end. I know the back-story was important, but having finished it, it seemed terribly disjointed from the ending. Do not get me wrong, this was a fantastical idea and a glorious, steampunk, timeless world, but I just wanted to finish it after a while. I no longer wanted to relish in the descriptions, but to finish the book.
