September wrap-up

Hi?
I am well aware of the fact that I have been off my creative-type media (aka here and youtube),but I think I have a good excuse for that.I moved.As in,to another country and everything,which obviously takes quite a bit of time and effort.
However,since I have no idea when/where I can film around here since things are still sort of hectic,I thought I might as well do a written wrap-up here.
That's it,let's talk about the books I read last month,shall we?





1."Quiet:The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking" by Susan Cain

I know,I know,Gabby read a non fiction book for the first time in quite a while.Get over it.This is basically a psychology book,I'd say?If you don't know,there are technically two types of people (?),introverts(=those who find a more peaceful life by themselves,who appreciate time alone and usually find it hard to work with/interract with people) and extroverts(those really social,energetic type persons who not only find it easy to socialise and be liked,but also charge their batteris while among others).Basically,despite the long period of time that society showed the extroverts as the best type of person one can possibly be and the one that we should shape after,the book talks about how society's vision on the introvert/extrovert individual has developed and why it it alright to be an introvert(also how you can basically be really epic despite not being an extrovert).Now,I found this book pretty good,although I was aware of most of the facts inside it.What I really wish to see there,even just slightly mentioned,is the existence of ambiverts(I hope this is the right English term,that's the one we used in my Psychology class),who are basically both of those things,just somewhere in the middle of the introvert/extrovert scale.
My rating of the book: 3.5/5




2."Looking for Alska" by John Green

There is little chance you know me and not know that John Green is my favourite author.Really,how is that not a known thing about me?Now,I had read this book quite a long while ago (a few years sort of while) and for some reason I had considered it my least favourite John Green book.SHUSH.Don't judge before I finish the story.Not so long ago I decided that I just simply wanted to own and re-read it because I really thought that I had read it at a point in my life when maybe,just maybe,the timing wasn't the best,I wasn't the best me for that book and I just wanted to give it another shot because I changed a lot as a person and the more I thought about it,the more I realised it was a great book and I just wanted to get back into it.And so I did.And I loved it.I mean,really loved it a lot more than I did the first time around.It is nowhere close to being my favourite John Green book,but it's an amazing read that I do see myself going back to even in the future.I just love me some John Green,man.
My rating: 5/5



3."Coraline" by Neil Gaiman

Another known fact about me is that I love children's books.And I love creepy books.Spoiler alert:this one had the perfect mix of both of those things and I LOVED IT.I initially got it for my little sister,but I ended up reading it as well,because that is just how I roll.Neil Gaiman's writing style is just fantastic and this book was really cool.I still need to watch the movie,which is a good thing to do in October because of that creepy aspect.Yeah,I really think this is amazing and that you should give it a try.
My rating: 5/5




4."The evolution of Mara Dyer" by Michelle Hodkin

Man,I literally have no idea where to even start talking about this book because it was so good and so heartbreaking and just so PERFECT.No,but really,the fact that I haven't been able to get it off my mind ever since I read it (during the first week of September,was it?) must say a lot.It had all of the feels and I am just so committed to the story and I want to know more,no,I need to know more and man,there's this Noah Shaw person that is just the ultimate book boyfriend and that ending just killed me and yeah,I am so excited to get Retribution that I even pre-ordered the hardcover (which says a lot since a.I rarely pre-order stuff and b.It won't match my other two,since they are paperbacks,but YOLO).
My rating: ∞/5



5."The night circus" by Erin Morgenstern

Surprisingly enough,I had no expectations from this book whatsoever. Basically,the only things I knew about it were that it was really awesome and that it was about a circus that's open at night.Simple as that.I don't know if it was because of those low expectations,or simply because the book is so amazing,but I ended up really loving this one as well.The characters were amazing,the story was really cool as well and the setting was just the best,the way the circus was described left me really wanting to go there.The writing style was really good as well,the way the things were said focusing on different characters,the articles being added and just everything coming together was amazing.This one's also a keeper,hands down.
My rating: 5/5

Well,I guess I haven't exactly read a lot this past month(and I probably still won't in October either,sadly),but I did read some really good books that I surely recommend checking out.
