The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
(Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, book 1)
Rating: ★★★★☆
Review: No
Reading Dates: September 1
Read Count: 1
Favorite Thing: “Look would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?”
Least Favorite Thing: Vogon poetry 😦
I can’t believe how long it took me to get around to reading this. I think it’s because it is one of those things everyone talks about reading (or they’ve seen the movie), so I just sort of tuned it out. But I had seen examples of Douglas Adams’ writing and I knew I would enjoy it if I just did it, and I was right! I definitely recommend this book.

Favorite Thing: Angela’s rudeness.
Least Favorite Thing: THE FUCKING ENDING WTF???????? IT BETTER BE SOME KIND OF FUCKING TRICK I SWEAR TO GOD!

Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
(Daughter of Smoke & Bone, book 1)
Rating: ★★★★☆
Review: No
Reading Dates: September 12 – 14
Read Count: 2
Favorite Thing: That masqued ball scene.
Least Favorite Thing: When Laini turns her spectacular powers of descriptive language against us and describes things like Razgut and Bain… I needed 10 showers after that whole beard thing.
To my mind, DoSaB isn’t as good as Strange the Dreamer, but it’s still really good and really hard to put down!
Also I’m still filled with jealousy every time it’s mentioned that Karou just wishes knowledge of new languages into her collection. No fair, no share!
