Gilmore Girls


I love Gilmore Girls!! I never really got the chance to watch it when it was on air. But watched it after the entire series ended. I wish this show was still on air! I miss it, despite not having seen it while it was on air. Last month when Amazon was having its black Friday sales, they had the entire series collection of Gilmore Girls on DVD on sale for about $145 (original price $258). I really wanted to get it but even at that much of a discount the price was still steep for me. So I took my butt over to kijiji & craigslist in hunt for GG on DVD. And, OMG, it was like a miracle. A woman was selling it for $50...the ENTIRE FREAKING SERIES. I ended up offering $40 and bought the entire seven seasons :D So this week I have been watching GG, while I should be studying for my Animal Cognition exam! Oh but I love Rory and Lorelia and Jess and Luke. <3 Currently I am on Season 2 (already!) and my favorite line so far is (non funny):

We are almost there and no where near it. All that matters is that we are going - Lorelia to Rory on their trip to Harvard. 

Who does not love this series? I would love to see a Gilmore Girls movie, I promise I wont complain about the movie not being as good as the series =)

Update

I am currently reading Clockwork Angel. And I LOVE it so far! Hoping to finish it by the end of this week...but to be honest I don't want it to end. Will; I want to slap him because of the things he says and do bad things to him because he is just so hot. Haha. I love reading historical romances, so this book was definitely right up my alley. Cassandra has this habit of writing books, that will make you want to read till the very end, at the same time you will not want the book to end. The chemistry between Will and Tessa is just great. Before reading the book, I mostly heard Jem's name and I was surprised to find out that he is not the main hero..but currently I am on page 310 so his role could become more important. Can't wait to find out. I am sure there are different sides already, Will or Jem? I will have to side with Will on this one; for now :)

Update: This book was a great read! Loved it! That is all I can say. If you have read The Mortal Instruments, then this is a must read. I am 100% Team Will ;) Although I don't mind Jem all that much :) (Notice the subtle difference in emoticons).

4 out of 5 stars

Book Haul

Oh boy, it has been almost a month since I posted here last. Not much has happened - reading wise. Have been very busy with school (Semester has ended! And exams next week!), which is why I have not got much time to read either. Finished reading Raised By Wolves by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, which I can't believe I read last month..seems like I read it a long time ago - it was that forgettable. I really wanted to like this book, after reading Jennifer's tweets I was very excited to read her book but the book just got worse and worse. She can write well - even add a few science remarks here and there to my joy! But story wise I was not too impressed. Should have waited for the paperback to come and then read it, definitely not worth the hardcover price. So I am not really writing a review on this book. Writing reviews on books I like is much more fun for everyone involved. I gave the book a 2.5 out of 5.

Moving on, I ordered some books off of amazon.ca. The list is as follows: 
  1. Elfland by Freda Warrington
  2. Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane 
  3. Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles
  4. Return to Paradise by Simone Elkeles
  5. Vision in White by Nora Roberts
  6. Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas
So excited to read all of these books! Especially Leaving Paradise, because, oh, like the girl in the story I broke my leg recently as well..haha. Wish exams were over already so I can read and read and then read some more...

Till next time,
