I apologize in advance... i broke one of most basic law of literature. I quit reading "Matched." by Allie Condrie. The book was not going anywhere, it seemed that the author was just writing fluff and unable to formulate what she wanted to say. I'm actually sort of depressed because I was so excited in the beginning of the book because I find that it is hard for me to find good books and now that I had found a (what I though was) good book. And it had two sequels! I wonder how she wrote two more books when the author had no plot-line. I may have given into temptation as well...
Over the summer, I had to do Summer Reading which most people hate but I actually quite like it. I read, "Pure" by Julianna Baggot. I liked the book so much that I finshed reading it in two weeks! In the middle of summer I had gone to barnes and noble to find the sequel but had to order it because the book just came out last month. I had forgotten about it until three days ago when it arrived at my doorstep. I wasn't liking the book ever since I wrote about the plot-line plataeuing. It whisphered to me every time I passed it's resting place on my desk in my bedroom. it would say, " you know you want to read me, I am the sequel to one of your favorite books." I finally gave in.

I have heard that the Matched book isn't all that good :/ Some people had to read it for class last year and pretty much nobody liked it. Bummer! It sounded good!
