Divergent Chapter 12: It's Monday and I Can't Think of Anything Witty to Say

We’re back with Tris and Divergent! Or, as I like to call it, a wet towel with no personality trains to become an Ultimate Fighter and makes the broody saltine cracker fall in love with her.

I mean, the plot of this novel is super compelling, and I feel like I should be incredibly interested in what’s happening, but it’s like the plot has been filtered through the most boring lens in the world and I’m just… meh about it.

City of Ashes, Chapter 6: Last week there was no incest, this week...

Hey hey! Lots has happened since I last posted, so hopefully you’ll forgive my absence. But I’m officially a holder of a BA in English!

I like to think this adds some sort of merit to these reviews; in reality it makes me seem a little more pretentious, and I think I’m okay with that.

Fairy’s got her first tattoos, and now they’re off to fight the bad guys without Adult Supervision because they are Young Strong Teens who don’t need the help of anyone over seventeen.

what is the difference between Ariel and Clary? We just don't know.

Divergent, Chapter 11: The conflict is made up and the plot doesn't matter!

I kept forgetting to do this recap and when I sat down to do it tonight I was like, ‘Nah you’re pretty on track. You did one last week!’ and then I checked and it has been TWO WEEKS so woops my bad y’all.

Getting down to business with Tris!

one day I'll say that phrase without hearing this song

City of Ashes, Chapter 5: This time, with almost no incest!

All right you nerds let’s get into this next chapter.

I want to commend CC for some top-notch writing at the beginning of this next chapter. I mean obviously she still over explains everything and spends a lot of time detailing things I don’t really care about, but she did a really good job making the reader feel frightened and in the dark here.

Divergent Chapter 10: There is an insane amount of 90s references in this recap.

We’re back to Divergent! Last week on the slow novel version of the Sorting Hat we watched Tris wimp out on helping her friend as she hung from a precarious cliff and nearly died.

City of Ashes, Chapter 4: I had to look up Dane Cook for this recap, so you're welcome.

You guys. YOU GUYS. I finished my undergraduate degree. From here on end I can read and write whatever I want and not feel guilty about it at all!

SO. I had said previously I would be going back to updating City of Ashes on the blog. The reason? I think they were funnier in this format. So my youtube channel will be reviews and stuff for a bit, but I’m figuring it out. Sit tight.

It’s been so long since I’ve read this book (and I’ve read so many other white male authors that CC is starting to look enticing) so I had to peek back at the last chapters but I’m caught up.

Basically, Jace is awaiting his trial by sword because he discovered that he's Voldentine's son and not Jace Wayland? Basically his parents thought they were raising their best friend's kid but they were actually raising the son of an evil mass murderer.

it's been 84 years and I can still hear the musical cue after I read this

Divergent Chapter 9: I'll be funnier when this book actually gets interesting.

Hi guys! I could apologise but let’s be real you all knew what was coming when you started following this blog. Academia owns my life and heart so it’ll always come first.

That being said, I have a few changes in store!

I will be re-capping both City of Ashes and Divergent by blog from this point onwards-- I just don’t have the time to edit videos this year! I’ll still be making book reviews and using my youtube, though.

With that being said, here’s a short recap! Chapter 9 is here! This gif is low on the gifs (as in, there are none), because it was really hard to find anything humorous to be perfectly honest. Not because I'm not funny (obviously I'm hilarious let's all be honest) but because this book is getting slightly boring.
