The Hybrid Chronicles Book Review

This was a very interesting holiday read. I read a good portion of the last book outside because the weather was heavenly. (And I got sunburned, thanks to my pale skin and unwillingness to put on sunblock.) This is my last review before I leave for Berlin, which I will in four days. So enjoy your last cookie before the jar closes with this spoiler free review.

The Hybrid Chronicles by Kat Zhang



This trilogy is a lot less mainstream than what I normally read. I turned to it anyway because of that exact reason. I felt like reading a dystopian-ish novel, but things like Delirium, Uglies, and Matched are always so focused on the romance, which I think is often a waste of an intriguing concept. So I picked up that one special book on my shelf of sci-fi-or-dystopian that did not mention a boy in the synopsis. And I am so very glad I did.

First Phase Wrap Up and Second Phase Plans

Time flies when you're having fun. I'm an overly organized reader. I plan how much I need to read a day on average and love to plan events months in advance. In order to plan my reading easily, I have divided the year into three zones/phases/periods corresponding with my big holidays. Now that the first period is coming to its end, I want to share my feelings on the past four-and-a-bit months and tell you what I'm planning.

For Your Information:
First Period: 1-1 to 8-5
Second Period: 9-5 to 21-8
Third Period: 22-8 to 31-12
Note: The first period does not have a 'plans', nor does the last period have a 'wrap up'. These will be semi-included in the 2016 Recap and 2017 Goals and Plans.
