February Wrap-Up - Miss Known
February was one of the strangest and longest months ever – I know the irony. I’m still trying to switch my brain back to DIYing and blogging which it’s surprisingly hard. But thankfully during my break, I didn’t stop reading, so that part of my brain is still intact. I’ve read somewhere that one way to create a reading habit is to read when you’re feeling bored, to make the brain associate reading as something to take you out of the boredom. Although when I’m bored, I don’t want to pick a book because I’m bored! Do you see my problem? Well, this is a really long intro just to say that I’ve only read ONE book this month and wasn’t even good. *facepalm* As I usually like to do, I’m currently in the middle of three books, but only managed to finish one, After by Anna Todd. If you don’t know already this book has been adapted to a movie and has it’s release this summer (if I’m not mistaken). From the moment I first saw the trailer, I instantaneously wanted to read the book. I knew from the start “how bad” the book was but I wasn’t looking for the next great book, I wanted to have fun, and the book gave me that – and yes, I still want to see the movie despite my disliking of the book. It might have been just one book that I read this month, but I have so many thoughts about it that it is as if I’ve read three. I don’t know if I’m going to make a review or not at this point. I have 8 pages (size A4) of notes and a trillion tabs on the book – it’s so colourful it looks like Christmas – so I have plenty of material to go around and discuss. Although I don’t know if I want to go back to the revolting feeling the book left on me. I wrote down a review after I finish it, so a piece of my rage is written down, I just don’t know if I want to go through it again. Maybe I just need to let everything settle down a bit more. Since I don’t know if I’ll ever do the review, I might as well just tell you a piece of my mind about it. I gave it 1 star...
