Not as enjoyable as the first one, as I found myself zoning out while listening to the audiobook. I’m not sure if this is because I started this book immediately after finishing the first one and didn’t give myself enough time to process things.

Finishing LIFEL1K3 makes 70 books I’ve read so far. My goal is still 100, and according to Goodreads, I’ve 4 books behind. I told my spouse this the other day and he suggested I read some graphic novels or some shorter books, lol.

So that’s how it’s going to end, huh? I should know better than to believe anything else when it comes from Amie and Jay, LOL. I briefly saw people reviewing this with somewhat polarizing opinions. But the general consensus is that the ending is a cliffhanger. And it’s true. It totally is! What the heck!
Another possibly incoherent review coming your way!
A huge, HUGE, HUGE thank you to Knopf Books for Young Readers for providing a free digital copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!
All quotes are taken from the ARC and may change in the finished copy.
How do I even begin to write a review about this book? Like, is it possible to die and be resuscitated multiple times throughout a book? If so, well, I can’t believe I made it to the end. I wasn’t sure how Amie and Jay could pull off an ending to a phenomenal series, but I’m not disappointed at all!
I’m not definitely back from my hiatus, and the more I think about it, the more I think it’ll continue on for a few more weeks for ~reasons~ other than vacation now, lol. But anyway, that’s not the point of this post!
Last week I drove to Texas to attend the Obsidio book tour with authors Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff! It took place at a gorgeous, two-story Barnes and Noble and wow, was it a great crowd! I knew I couldn’t miss going to this because 1) It was the first weekend of my spring break, so HELLO, what a way to celebrate, 2) when would these authors ever be near me again (let alone half-way across the world considering they’re Australian!), and 3) the event was moderating by the lovely Mary over at Mary Had a Little Book Blog!
There was no doubt in my mind that I would continue listening to this series via audiobook. It’s absolutely fantastic. I simply adore that there’s a full cast of voice actors along with sound effects and this oddly catchy tune that haunts the characters throughout the entire book, lol.
What a wild and heart-pounding ride! This is one of those books I’ve heard so much about; it was so hyped that I was afraid I wouldn’t like it as I’ve been disappointed by a variety of hyped books. But I can say with a smile on my face that this book was fantastic!
Yay! So I’m back to regular blogging now that NaNoWriMo is over! I’m currently working on a non-bookish post about my progress with NaNoWriMo and other things so keep an eye out for that soon!
Gosh, guys, I can’t believe it’s December already! I know people say that all the time but seriously, it’s almost Christmas! This makes me both excited and shocked that 2016 went by so quickly. But with the passing of December also comes January and… My birthday! I’ll be 28 in a little over a month. That’s crazy to think about to.

I feel bad that I was unable to finish this book sooner. I saw it all around Instagram and read reviews on Goodreads about how amazing this book was so it just seemed logical to request a digital ARC on Netgalley…
And what do you know? 🙂 I got one. I’m not…wholly disappointed in the book. I had some qualms and it has its own quirks so… yeah.
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin’s press for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review. This in no one way affects my review for the book.
I’ll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible.
