Mnnndghm. Wake me up when October ends, mkay?

This is me right now. *Yawn*
Well guess what? The  month of school is over and I am piled with things to do. I guess I never really expected Sophomore year to be that much different than freshman year but was I wrong. 

In fact, I don't have time to read much at all. Most days of the week, it goes like this. Wake up at six, school till three, then work from 4-7. After all that, the homework. And if I have time, hanging out with friends. Or not. Depends on time. Damn time.

Anyway, I did do a little reading. I know, I know: Yay for me! :)
 Waiiittt....I just counted and apparently, I've only read 7 books this month! WHAT? Really, what is this? Am I getting older or something?

I think I know what the culprit is: school. Keep on shaking your head, like it's the obvious that I simply hadn't seen. I want a time turner.

What I did read:

The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #2) by Megan Whalen Turner The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #2)

Mockingjay (Hunger Games, #3) by Suzanne Collins Mockingjay (Hunger Games, #3)

The King of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #3) by Megan Whalen Turner The King of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #3)

To Kill a Mockingbird (Paperback) by Harper Lee To Kill a Mockingbird

White Cat (Curse Workers, #1) by Holly Black White Cat (Curse Workers, #1)

Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex (Artemis Fowl, #7) by Eoin Colfer Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex (Artemis Fowl, #7)

Black Hole Sun (Hardcover) by David Macinnis Gill Black Hole Sun

This is all good and well, but I hope October turns out better than September, readingwise.My favorites among these were the Queen's Thief series and Black Hole Sun. As sequels to absolutely amazing series, Artemis Fowl and Mockingjay were both ones I was looking forward to extremely yet fell considerably short of expectations. To Kill a Mockingbird was enjoyable but the fact that I had to read it for school and deadlines made it not so fun.

On another note, DO NOT TRUST PLASTIC. I just realized this when I checked my bank account online, and holy crap did I spend a lot. Every time you hand out the plastic, even if it's only two bucks, it adds up. This sound like a 'duh' statement but the reality of it never really hit me until I noticed that in one week I spent 150 dollars on tiny, non-essential things. Whoa.

Well, I shall give you reading update on Saturday so be on the lookout for that.
