Finals are coming… Lots of tests and big projects due,
plus reviews to write and books to read; it’s way too much work. But, ah,
whatever. I’m doing alright (as far as I know, at least). Been doing quite a
bit of homework, plus I got several reviews written up and some books read over
the weekend. Makes me feel productive, which is nice. Still have quite a bit of
work, though, and I will till next week is over. I’m hoping to get several
books finished, though, but I just don’t have enough time.
Here’s what I’m reading right now (which, I know, the
last book in the series just came out, and I’ve had this book since it came
out, so I am so slow, but whatever):
Genre: YA Dystopian Romance
Publisher: Penguin (Dutton)
Goodreads Synopsis:
Cassia has always
trusted the Society to make the right choices for her: what to read,
what to watch, what to believe. So when Xander's face appears on-screen
at her Matching ceremony, Cassia knows with complete certainty that he
is her ideal mate... until she sees Ky Markham's face flash for an
instant before the screen fades to black.
The Society tells her it's a glitch, a rare malfunction, and that she should focus on the happy life she's destined to lead with Xander. But Cassia can't stop thinking about Ky, and as they slowly fall in love, Cassia begins to doubt the Society's infallibility and is faced with an impossible choice: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she's known and a path that no one else has dared to follow.

Excerpt:
“‘They’re not the same,’ I tell him. ‘They don’t connect like yours do. I’ve seen your kind of writing before, but I don’t know what it’s called.’‘Cursive,’ he says softly. ‘It’s harder to read, but it’s beautiful. It’s one of the old ways of writing.’” (Hardback, pg. 173)
