The 14 Stages of Book Addiction from Buzzfeed!!
2. You’re a few pages in thinking “I mean, I don’t really see what all the fuss is about.”
3. Fifty pages in and now you need to know what happens. You NEED to know.
4. You look forward to even a few minutes of downtime because that is precious reading time.
5. Sleep is no longer important since these late hours in the night are when no one disturbs you and asks “what are you reading??” as if holding a book in front of your face is not enough of a ‘please do not disturb’ sign.
6. An internal conflict starts to develop as part of you wants to know how the story ends and the other part of you can’t bare the thought of life without this book.
7. You become unhealthily attached to the main characters, especially if the narrator is in love with the novel equivalent to your prince charming.
8. You think you might love a character more than you love your actual boyfriend.
He just gets you in a way that can’t be explained to the mentally stable
9. You start to become the book’s biggest marketing tool as you preach about the literary masterpiece to your friends.
“Oh my god you have to read this book! NO LIKE YOU HAVE TO!”
10. Reality is no longer of importance. Your taxes can wait, the main characters are in danger!!
11. If something tragic happens to the main character or your book boyfriend, you cry for your loss and because literally no one around you cares about your mental anguish.
12. You finish the book and your heart aches as you say goodbye to those characters forever.
13. Walking into a bookstore afterwards is like being thrown back into the dating world after getting dumped.
14. You find a flaw in every book you pick up and realize you’re just not ready to get back out there.

"When there isn't enough reading, there is a lot of shooting"
It's been exactly a month since the protests started, a month of violence, a month of government repression against the students, and all the citizens who doesn't want a dictatorship.

Lovely, Dark and Depressing..
It's fantastic how Amy writes, but this wasn't for me, it was toooo depressing, I don't even remember why I started reading it, lovely cover though.

Wild Awake by Hilary T. Smith.
"As I pedal down the street ... the city blocks peel away like pages in a book I’m rifling through to find a single, highlighted sentence."
This book left me entirely stunned, I adore everything about it! the writing is fantastic and the story was nothing like it said in the synopsis It's so much wide and intense, Kiri's character is complex, flawed and very spontaneous and I want to put Skunk in my pocket.
