"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

Past. Present. Future. (20)




There are a a lot of these "What're you reading?" features around, so I figured, hey why not start one too? Basically, here's where I highlight the books I've read, the books I'm reading, and the books I'm going to read. Fun, right? Please join in if you want!

PAST:
Flesh & Bone by Jonathan Maberry - Holy right in the feels!  Again, picking up where Dust & Decay left off, this story blew me even more out of the water.  There is commentary of humanity, religion, war, and love all mixed up with zombies!  This is such a smart, action-packed, scary, exhilarating book.  One I hope EVERYONE gets a chance to read!  I can't wait to chomp into the next book, Fire & Ash.





PRESENT:
Hereafter by Tara Hudson - This has been on my TBR list for a while.  I've read mixed reviews, but I figured I should give it a go.  I like the premise, and so far  I like what I'm reading.  It's going kind of slow, but I'll definitely finish! 
Sapphire Blue by Kerstin Gier - I lovedlovedloved Ruby Red, the first book of this wonderful trilogy from a great author!  I'm so happy that this was translated from it's original German so I could enjoy it!  Such a great take on time-travel, and interesting theory using jewels and powers and just ah!  Awesome!  I think everyone should start this because it is just too good.






FUTURE:

Pretty Crooked by Elisa Ludwig - Robin Hood mixed with Gossip Girl?  Count me in!  I want something that's really fun, and this sounds like just the ticket!  I love the story of Robin Hood, and to find it in a modern setting with a female at the helm makes me so happy.  I also have a serious addiction to Gossip Girl, so I'm all for something similar!
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman - I've heard so many amazing things about this book!  I've been in the mood for a real fantasy lately, and I think this will serve nicely.  I'm intrigued by the main character's predicament  and being torn between two sides.  I can't wait to read what happens!







If any of you've read any of these books, let me know what you thought (but NO spoilers) down below in the comments!
