“Most people underestimate eyes. They're infinite. You look someone straight in the eye and your whole soul can be sucked out in a nanosecond. Other people's eyes are limitless and that's what scares me.”

― Sophie Kinsella, Finding Audrey

I felt like ice-cream, and so, I grabbed some novels with gelato colours.... mmmm I really want ice-cream!

Which is your favorite read from this stack? Mine's a toss up between 'Red, White & Royal Blue' and 'The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley.'

Parents have this way of asking really dumb, obvious questions. Are you going out in that skirt? No, I’m planning to take it off as soon as I get out of the front door. Do you think that’s a good idea? No, I think it’s a terrible idea, that’s why I’m doing it. Are you listening to me? Your voice is 100 decibels, I can hardly avoid it.

TBR Thursday: Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella 

Fourteen-year-old Audrey suffers from a severe anxiety disorder and has left school because of a traumatic bullying problem. She almost never leaves her house and the only people she sees are her family and counselor. But one day she accidentally meets her brother's gaming buddy – Linus.

I was afraid that this would turn out to be a „love cures all“ kind of story but it does not. (I've read reviews where people say that they thought it was. I didn't feel that way). Linus offers friendship and support. He makes her laugh, is patient, and doesn't judge. He tries to draw Audrey outside again. He'll do anything to help Audrey get better.

While the story is centered around Audrey and her illness, there are many hilarious situations, mainly between her mother and brother.

„I’ve often noticed that people equate ‘having a sense of humour’ with ‘being an insensitive moron’“

YA. Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Bullying.

#1kpages Day 10 + Wrap Up

Alright, I’m calling it quits for this readathon for me (even though I had thirty mins left, I really didn’t feel like continuing. I’m not gonna persist when I’m not wanting to at the moment, and that’s a really healthy mindset to keep.)

Day 10: 162 pages read.

85 pages read from And I Darken by Kiersten White. I have finished this book. (This novel gave me a lot of feelings while reading, good and bad. I had a hard time with this novel and after reading it made me not want to pick up another book for a while. When I did, I couldn’t invest myself into it and kept getting angry over certain issues. I’m not sure if I’ll continue the series, but if any of you say that the second novel picks up heavily in pace with a more developed end goal, I’ll think about it.)

36 pages read from Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella. This is a reread. (I loved this book because of its fast paced and easy to read style. I easily relate to the main character. But I got angry when her disorder was treated as something that could be treatable, something which I didn’t pick up in my first read years ago.)

41 pages read from Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Probably not a novel I’ll continue with. (This book made me frustrated. The main character acts like he’s better than everyone else in school because he’s there on scholarship while they pay to get in. He had a lot of annoying ego which was not something I wanted to read about. A lot of stereotypical moments were placed in the book, as well.)

Wrap Up:

190 pages read from The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood. 3/5 stars.

327 pages read from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling. 5/5 stars.

365 pages read from And I Darken by Kiersten White. 3/5 stars.

36 pages read from Finding Audrey by Sophie Kinsella. Not finished.

41 pages read from Infinity by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Not finished.

959 pages in total read.
