Hello there! I'm sorry it has been so long since I have posted. Finals were crazy and now I am taking summer school but I will do my best to posts as much as I can. I have decided to remove my Amazon wishlist from this blog because of the controversy that is being expressed on booktube. Finally, I would appreciate it if you would check out my friend Serena's book blog http://perpetualreader-blogger.tumblr.com because she is wonderful so go give her some love! This is a collection of some of my favorite quotes from Looking for Alaska by John Green.
“Thomas Edison's last words were 'It's very beautiful over there'. I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.”
“The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive.”
“Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
“People, I thought, wanted security. They couldn't bear the idea of death being a big black nothing, couldn't bear the thought of their loved ones not existing, and couldn't even imagine themselves not existing. I finally decided that people believed in an afterlife because they couldn't bear not to.”
“I know so many last words. But I will never know hers.”

Top Five Wednesday!
I have decided to participate in this week's top five Wednesday! The topic this week is the top five characters you wish you were more like. I hope you enjoy!
5. Guy Montag from Fahrenheit 451
Montag questions everything and does not just accept that things are the way they are. He searches for the truth and for ways to make things better. His perseverance, determination, and wonder lead him to have a whole new outlook of life.
4.Sherlock Holmes from the Sherlock Holmes series
I would not want to be as knowledgable as Sherlock but I think it would be interesting to just have a taste of it. His intelligence is unmatched and his mind is incredibly fascinating.
3.Isabelle Lightwood from the Mortal Instruments series
Isabelle is the most kick-ass girl I have ever read about. She kills demons while wearing designer heels. You cannot get much cooler than that. I admire how she sustains her femininity while doing such unconventional things.
2. Jem Carstairs from the Infernal Devices series
Jem is just so kind hearted and genuinely caring towards other people. He always wants everyone to be happy and does not want others to worry about him. He also is quite talented musically. I aspire to be as good of a person as he is.
1. William Herondale from the Infernal Devices series
Will has made so many sacrifices in his life for other people. He had to shut himself off from the world because he believed he could not let people love him. However, he was fiercely devoted to the people he loved and would do anything for them. I hope one day to be as well-read and selfless as him.
