"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. (13)



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:
The Education of Hailey Kendrick by Eileen Cook - This was a super fast read, and really entertaining.  Even though Hailey comes from a very privileged world, I never once thought she was stuck up.  The situations she gets into and the emotions she experiences are well-crafted, funny, and real.  Definitely a fun, quick read; one which has made me want to read all of Eileen Cook's books!




PRESENT:
Croak by Gina Damico - So far it is really fun!  I love the premise of the book, and I've heard really great things about it.  I will admit I fell in love with the cover first!  The picture and text tell you instantly an idea of the story; really intriguing.  I can't wait to dive even more into the world of Croak!






FUTURE:
The Diviners by Libba Bray - This has been on my radar from day one!  Libba Bray is sometimes a hit-or-miss author for me, but I couldn't resist when I read the summary for this one!  I managed to snag a signed copy from Books-A-Million, score!  I can't wait to read this creepy, haunting, awesome book!







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