Chicken Soup (Finally) and MORE of the Awakening

I read 2 books today! I haven't done that in ages! (Or, upon checking my chart, since June 9th, which was still a while ago, if not "ages".) And I guess technically I didn't read 2 books today. I just finished 2 books today. I started one of them last night and the other... a month ago. Stop laughing at me.

I finally got around to reading some Chicken Soup, Paper Towns by John Green. It was a nice break. Or at least the beginning was. Or really everything but the last chapter when you realize that Margo is not at all a manic-pixie-dream-girl, but rather just a slightly selfish brat.
I also realized, upon reading it more closely, how much Qs parents emphasize the books themes in their discussions. They basically state the themes. And in a hilarious, therapisty way. Somehow I didn't realize this the first time I read it.
Oh, also, I like Lacey more. She's cute. Ben still annoys me though.

The other book was Bloom's Notes for Kate Chopin's 'The Awakening'. It was a 1970s version of sparknotes (a much better version, I might add), plus a dozen essays on the novel. Sorry though, I'm not writing anything more about it.

Total Book Count: 67
Total NonFic: 22 (32.8%)
