Lost and Found Series - Nicole Williams

So this month I had been in a book slump. I just couldn't find any good books!! I had resigned myself to admitting that I had probably already read all the good books released until this moment (and boy! was it sad...). But I'm happy to admit that I was mistaken!!!

One of this days I decided to read a book that I had ignored for a looooong time because I thought it was cliché and probably stupid, but I was the stupid one, because once I started reading it I realized my mistake. It was soooooo great! I mean great! AMAZING!!!!

The story of this girl touched my heart and the guy, Jesse, stole it! I mean, he's a hot cowboy!!! What more can you want?

The story was about this troubled girl Rowan. She dresses in goth clothes, uses black lipstick, has earrings, you know the whole look. And her mother asks her to prove she is responsible by moving to a farm and working there throughout the summer. There she meets the previously mentioned hot cowboy, Jesse, and his equally hot best friend, bad boy cowboy, Garth. So yeah.... it gets interesting. haha But what really surprised me is that Jesse is such a likable character, in fact all the family that takes her in is.

I just loooooove books about cowboys and the girls who get to love them. There's nothing better than reading about a tortured soul that slowly heals thanks to love! Yeah, I'm cheesy like that!!! haha

So the series consists on three books. Two are about Rowan, and the last one is about Garth, yay! (seriously I fell in lust with that character!!!) You can find the series on Goodreads HERE!

The Spectacular Now

I thought I would share with you  something upbeat I just did, for a change you know!

So I just saw this sweet movie called The Spectacular Now. It has this girl that is appearing in Divergent, I don't remember her name and I'm too lazy to google, and this unknown guy.

Well whatever, the story is about a boy that LOVES to party, he's the life of the party, and has a girlfriend that loves to party as much as him. His high school life seems perfect until his girlfriend leaves him for a more responsible guy, and then his alcoholism starts getting out of control.

So one day after a hard night of partying he wakes up in an unknown yard of some girl who goes to his school. So obviously he's instantly enthralled by this girl that is sooooo much different than him. So slowly he starts changing for the better. And well I think I already said too much, if I tell you more that would just be an annoying spoiler!! haha

Instead why don't you watch the trailer? We all know that's just the way of finding out what happens in a movie without having to sit there watching the movie for two hours. haha

But jokes aside, the movie was really sweet and it made me happy for tonight, so that's what counts!!!

Now I don't wanna be a party pooper but I'll just be honest for an instant. For example, the girl got on my nerves a couple times. It's just that she was so naive!!!! The guy was almost cheating on her all the time, or just being an asshole, but she just smiled and forgave him! So honestly I felt the movie was a bit unrealistic. But maybe that was the reason that it made me happy... Whatever, the fact is that at the end I really liked it! So go watch it!!!

Let It Go - The Neighbourhood

I just broke down... I was just reading this stupid quote on Tumblr about moving on and then it just got to me and I broke down crying, I couldn't seem to stop and I hadn't cried so hard in a long time.

It's just that everything is getting to me, like I can't even get out of bed, and when I'm there I can't even sleep and forget about shit, no, I just cry! The only way to laugh is to read some stupid meaningless book where a perfect boy gets the girl, it's so cliché but during those few hours I'm fine with it.

And then in my social life I just keep being my same fucking antisocial being, and not having a car is seriously hindering my efforts to get out of bed. Just the thought of asking someone taking me, knowing that they hate carrying me around and I'm just a burden. I'm so stupid that I wouldn't even want to hang around me, and the worst part is that by doind this I just keep aleniating more people. I know I should be happier, or at least appear, but I don't even know how to pretend to be happy and normal.

Sigh.... And by doing this I just keep making this blog more depressing.... It's just that I need somewhere to vent at 2 a.m. Sorry.

btw I'm at a point where I understand why people become alcoholics or drug addicts, but damn I don't have some right now!

City of Bones | The Mortal Instruments

So I've read these books maybe a couple of years ago, and honestly when I read the back cover I was hesitant to say the least. Actually I had managed to avoid it for quite a long time, until a boring day where I decided to finally read it (maybe because there was nothing else to do, and it had raving reviews after all!).

But surprise surprise, I LOVED IT, I think I even wrote a post about it here, I don't remember... But the thing is that I was totally and absolutely immersed in it. I knew that it had it's cliché moments and the overused supernatural stuff, but at that point I was bored with every other genre and it seemed like I HAD to return to fantasy.

And honestly it didn't disappoint. I was instantly in love with the character of Jace, and Simon! and the books had that something that makes you read book after book at 3 AM until you finish them. So it wasn't even a week before I finished the whole series, after that I even read some books about the English institute and some about Magnus Bane. I read all those books until the story seemed too outlandish for me, probably because what draw me in at the start was the relationship between Jace and Clary.

So after that I just decided to wait for the next book in the main series, and when it was announced, the movie! I mean, Robert Sheehan anyone???

Just look at him!!!

But today I finally had time to see the movie, and so I decided to watch it with my brother. After all he had heard me all year whining about it, and I guess he was interested in the action he saw in the trailer. But it hadn't even been twenty minutes into the movie when I started to get disappointed. I mean... Clary is just so stupid, and clumsy, and weak!! I don't know if it was my overactive imagination while reading the books or the movie just was plain bad. I guess Robert was great, even the guy who played Jace wasn't that bad (although I always imagined Jace a bit more like Lestat de Lioncourt, sigh, but you can't get everything...). But c'mon!!! Valentine is blond!!!! and he is not that young!!!!! I mean he is a father! what is wrong with the producers, and directors, even Cassandra Clare, How Could You???????

And then everything just went from bad to worse, for example everything seems to happen in just one day, they meet and then she's kissing Jace, and then finding out he's her "brother". Like after the first half of the movie everything is wrong. Of course there are some redeeming occasions where they followed the book (like Alec and Magnus Bane), but they are so isolated that when they happen the common viewer doesn't understand what is happening. Like Simon, when they rescue him he is just hanging pretty there, but in the book he is actually a rat, of course I appreciate the view but I would appreciate it more if they sticked to the story. And then the fight in the Institute, that is just plain stupid, I don't know whose idea was it (maybe to make it more "interesting"), I don't know, I just know it sucked.

So it's pretty easy to assume I didn't enjoy it, of course I will continue reading the books, but IF there is a next movie, I'll have to be forced to see it.

Like, do you get my point???? It's just so sad to see a good book ruined like that! Now excuse me, I'll go cry in a corner... Just joking, I'm mad instead of sad, maybe I'll just go read The Hunger Games or Lord of the Rings and think about movies where they at least tried to stick to the story.

Afrikaans is Dood | Smallpools - Dreaming (The Chainsmokers Remix)

I've reached a new level of emptiness, but there's nothing I can do, so for now I'll just keep writing.

I'm hoping that by being so bored and exhausted of my incompetence and laziness during this month I will get invigorated to face another year. But seriously I don't have much hope.... What I do all day is cry... Seing happiness makes me cry... reading romance stories makes me cry, even more than normal because I remember what I don't have... And even listening to music I like makes me cry... I'm so hopeless.... sigh.....

So when I find something that makes me happy for an instant I try to remember it and store it to prevent future sadness. This is some of that stuff:

The 1975 - Sex | Oooops, I fell for him!!

God! Just realized how much I like "cute guy" by the amount of time it took me to reply to his text message. That's without mentioning the silly smile on my face when I realized he had messaged me after giving him my number, and the pathetic amount of time it took me to reply to each one of his messages.

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a little but it has been a while now since I started liking him and I have doubts about falling in love again. So instead of defining anything serious I've been trying to keep him like just this guy that I find cute, but I guess that I'll admit that I like him, although I won't start dreaming about our wedding ok! haha 

So this is my soundtrack right now! I just hope my heart doesn't get broken... :)
