I have been sick for most of the week, but that just meant I had more time for reading! This week I managed to complete Obsidian and Onyx by Jennifer L Armentrout. These were re reads and as always, I had SO much fun reading them! If you didn’t know, the first book in the Lux series, Obsidian, is about a girl named Katy who after moving to West Virgina with her mother for a new start, meets 2 odd twins named Dee and Damon Black. After falling into a strange friendship with them, she realizes that there is more to them then she thought and her life is flipped upside down. I love Jennifer’s writing style and just how easy and light hearted it is. Re reading these 2 books were definitely what I needed reading wise and I am very satisfied. Now since I am done, I have started A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir and I am about 60 pages into it. I am enjoying it but since I am not too far into it I can’t say that it has me on the edge of my seat or anything. I only hope that it is as good as An Ember in the Ashes because that book was amazing! Anyways, I would also like to complete Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson because my contemporary kick is going strong and I know Morgan Matson won’t let me down!
For writing, I haven’t been too successful other than scratching all 7 pages of what I’ve written and re starting. I have only rewrote 1 page so far because I got hit by the flu but hopefully by Sunday I will have written another 3 pages because I have been planning a lot for my story and I am motivated to continue with it! My first 7 pages didn’t feel write to me, and I felt that I needed to start fresh after grasping a better concept of this world and these people I am creating. Now I feel totally in control and ready to get this down on paper. My school is also having a poetry contest, and first off, no I do not write poetry because I am terrible. I am not just saying that either to be modest, I truly am terrible at writing poetry but I thought I would give it a try so I will also be writing that this weekend…
That was my reading and writing update and I hope you enjoyed! Don’t forget to check out my last post: Writing Books I Am Reading!
