I interrupt your dashboard to bring you an important announcement:

YOU SHOULD READ THESE BOOKS. [x] [x]

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, allow me to explain why.

  • Microchips that calculate your compatibility with other people
  • A messed up (but perfectly functional) world that has come to rely on these microchips
  • Kickass female lead who knows whats up
  • She acknowledges her mistakes and takes them in stride
  • Kickass hilarious side-kick. Kind of. (Not best friend. They aren’t friends. Kind of.)
  • Great love interest. Seriously. 
  • Dynamic characters who make you feel things
  • Sass
  • PLOT TWISTS GALORE
  • They’re never ever boring
  • Shiny covers
  • Heartbreak you’ll be happy about even though it hurts so much
  • I don’t even know how to words when it comes to this duology
  • Written by Australian author Jessica Shirvington *fist pump*
  • have average Goodreads ratings of 4.35 and 4.61 :’)
  • If you have any doubts about the awesomeness of these books  you can talk to anyone I’ve forced to read it like literatureloveaffair, thebooker, thegirlofnovels, a-noveltea, thebookhangover. And pixelski who had read it before I did.

Unfortunately they’re only available in Australia at the moment, but they should really be more widely available. Spread the word, guys. 

AND AUSSIES- GET. ON. THIS.

DON’T LIKE THE CATEGORIES? NO PROBLEM - see this little thing:

THIS LITTLE THING WILL TAKE YOU TO THIS SLIGHTLY LARGER THING WHERE YOU CAN CHOOSE A BOOK BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

You are beautiful person for sharing this with the world and I thank you.

I’d love to watch a tv show about the Greek gods. Not a documentary, but a legitimate television show with plot-line and character development as they portrayed every classic myth side-by-side the ones we hardly know of. And maybe with a few jokes here and there, so I could tune in every Tuesday to watch Zeus destroy the world with his penis and all of the other god’s flipping out trying to save it.
