UnWind

85. Read 26 books I've never read starting with each letter of the alphabet (15/26)



Connor, Risa, and Lev are running for their lives.

The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child “unwound”, whereby all of the child’s organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn’t technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound. Together, they may have a chance to escape and survive.” 


                I have to thank my brother for buying this book. It’s one of my new favorites. It’s highly disturbing. I felt like burning the book a couple of times. Sometimes it would make me so angry. But I couldn’t stop reading.
                The characters are interesting, the story compelling and the writing is clean. I don’t ask for much more.
                The sequel will be out on the 28th but I want it already in my hands!

Insurgent

86. Read 26 books I've never read starting with each letter of the alphabet (14/26)



              Lately, I haven’t mentioned books at all. And there’s a good reason for that. I don’t choose the books I read based on their first letter, which means that after a while I started repeating the letters. And that has been happening a lot.
                And I just noticed that I completely forgot to blog about one book that I read ages ago and it actually is Divergent, the first book of the Divergent Trilogy. The second book to that trilogy is Insurgent, which I happened to finish reading today.
                Both books are fantastic and I recommend it to basically everyone that likes to read dystopias, like The Hunger Games.

Not log into facebook for a whole week

14. Not log into facebook for a whole week.

Quite an easy achievement when you're on holiday and you don't have a computer with you ahah

Italy

22. Visit Italy.



Done!
I really liked the city. Completely different vibe from London or Paris or Barcelona. It shows very well how everything in life is layered. Today's builings might be tomorrow's ruins. It almost feels as time travelling.
And the food... I already miss it!

Self Portrait XXVIII and XXIX

26. Take a self portrait every week for one year (28/52 and 29/52)



I've been on holiday. I went with my parents and brother to Rome, that's why I didn't post last week's portrait.
