 So it's about almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon of April 11 and I'm going to finally finish this book today so help me. And I'm going to read it in a tree. I'm currently in my tree. Hi dad! Hello. He's here to bring me a book. So while reading in a tree was fun, I decided that's really only for warmer days. I am still working on Center and I am about halfway through, maybe slightly over. I'm kind of hoping to finish it today. It's gotten better. I think I've been able to accept it as its own book and because of that I've been enjoying it a lot more. It's definitely something I've just been flipping through. Like it's a pretty fast read which I appreciate especially for the OWLs. So yeah I think next time I'll update you guys is when I finish this and when I'm moving on to the next book. So I'm just going to go ahead and read this inside because it got cold again even though I loved reading in the tree for some strange reason. I did. Alrighty hey guys it is now April 14 I believe we're two weeks into April now. I haven't been vlogging or updating much recently just because I've been pretty busy and not much interesting things have happened but now something interesting has happened and I finished reading Center. I finally finished it for those of you who don't know it's the fourth book and the Wolves of Mercy Falls series and I finally finished it today. I finished it much later than I wanted to but I literally read like a third of it last night and then the last like hundred pages or so maybe not even this like now this afternoon as it is 5.30. And I rated it 2 out of 5 stars because I did not like a lot of what happened in this book in that I don't like how the whole aspect of him being a wolf was barely in the book and only ever really was a thing in the last like 50 pages of the book like you know it just like the whole series the Wolves of Mercy Falls the first three books were so centered about being a wolf and being a werewolf and figuring all that out and I feel like this book just completely ditched it until like the very end and like there was a couple time or two more around the middle of the book where it's like and he made himself become a wolf and then there will be like two sentences and then he was back into a human again. It didn't it didn't feel consistent with the rest of the series. I also I just felt like this book was just such a toxic book in that both the characters are struggling and they are not doing a very good job of understanding each other even though they both struggle with things. So I just felt like both of them were just constant we're just super dramatic about it and like oh why does everything have to be so hard for you well well you're doing the exact same thing you're saying everything is so hard about you and it just it was so constant that just constantly up and down constant everything sucks you know it was a very flat book in that sense like they're not much interesting happened and I feel like there was supposed to be some big shock in the book and there just really wasn't I just I think it was a very dull kind of fell flat like even reading it saying okay this is not associated with the first three books in the series I still think it really wasn't that great of a book yeah so I just didn't enjoy it very much. I don't really see much of the point to adding this book on or even really writing this book because I loved the characters before this book and I like them a lot less now like I was okay with there being a book about them I was like alright it's kind of exciting you know they're gonna get their own book I just didn't I just didn't care for it I just I feel like I don't know but yes so now that means I have what is it three books finished yep I have three books finished out of the 11 I'm hoping nine that I need so I won't throw the way there ish I think if I can math I'm a reader I don't math so now let's choose the next book so these are all the books that I have left to read by the end of the month but the thing is I can pretty much eliminate the top row here because this one and this one are both books that I'm reading for seminars so they're kind of my last priority right now and this one is actually a book I have to read for my literature class so I want to wait until this is actually homework and then I can complete it for both class and the read-a-thon so I'm also gonna take this one out of consideration so then I have these four books left here this one's about 350 pages long chapters this one I have about 200 pages left in from when I previously started it and it's such a slow read that I'm not starting over this is the one time I'm slightly bending the rules but I know other people are doing things like that as well so I'm gonna be okay with that this one is also I think this one was longer this one was like 450 maybe 500 pages and then this one is 350 pages with shorter chapters and saying all that out loud makes me think I'm going to go ahead with this one because it is the next shortest and then seems like the fastest read this was oh you can hear my cat crying because she feels lonely and a house full of people who constantly better anyway I'm think I'm gonna go this book next because like I said it's the next shortest and this was the required this fulfills the requirement for the class that made me do a random generator which was divination so I think I'm gonna do some divination now yay okay one thing I do want to add about center is that one thing I really did like about it and kind of the reason why I gave it two stars was there was a character in there named Leon he was a driver I loved him I love to land I think the best part about the book I love this character I loved his personality like oh my gosh that's like my favorite thing about the book like literally pretty much gave an entire star just for this one sub character like Leon so the next book I've chosen to read is the killing woods by Lucy Christopher this book is about a obviously someone gets murdered in the woods the murder victim is Ashley and the main character the person who he follows dad was an ex soldier and he has PTSD and he's really bad PTSD during a thunderstorm one night he finds her dead body in the woods and so his daughter is like I need to prove that my dad didn't kill her that my dad is innocent but she also needs to you know make sure that he is an innocent because he just kind of carried her into the house and thought he was back at war and so it was really hard to tell like what the true story was so yeah that's pretty much what this book is about and that's really not a lot to go off of but that's all the information I could find like on the book itself and I don't want to look it up because I don't like knowing a lot about mysteries before I read them because then I feel I have too much information and I'm already guessing or you know I just I like reading mysteries that are actually mysterious to me rather than like oh I know exactly what this book is about I just need to know who did it so this is the next book I'll be reading hopefully I can get it finished quickly at least by the end of the week if not this one and another book started in partway through by the end of week I think that's gonna be my goal and today is Tuesday and I am gonna just write a paper and read a book and hopefully we can call that good so here I go
