Hi guys! If you visited my blog yesterday, you'll see that I already changed the theme. After long time using it, I think that it's time for a change. So here's my old layout (made by coloritYOU):



 And this is my new one (made by ThemeXpose):




So what do you think of my new layout? I personally really liked it because it was so much simpler. Which one is better, my old theme or my new theme? Comment your feedback down below, I would really appreciate it! :)

Have you ever feel like you want to read a book but nothing feels right? Or you're in the middle of reading something very interesting but suddenly lose interest in them? Or maybe you don't feel like reading anything at all? You can't even get through the first few pages of a book, and reading isn't fun at that moment.

Well, reading slump can hit anyone, even the best readers. It hits me at least once every month. For me, the reasons can be different. Maybe school has taken too much of my time. Or I read such horrible book that it makes me don't want to read for a while. Or I've been reading too many books at once and it makes me "sick" of reading.

Whatever it is, reading slump doesn't mean you have to stop reading. Yes, sometimes when I don't feel like reading, I won't force myself to read. Because when I force myself, it will be unfair for the book because I will end up dislike it. Reading should be fun, you should enjoy it, so if you don't like it, just leave it and move on. Don't ever force yourself to finish a book you didn't enjoyed reading. If you really want to know what happens next, just skim the pages or google the plot.

If you want to read, try to rereading your old favorites or maybe some short stories. Try to go on Wattpad, fanfiction.net or archiveofourown. Reading graphic novels also really helpful. The colors and the pictures will help you feel more interested in the story. You can also try to watch some tv shows/movie.

Or maybe, just go on the internet and browse some books. Don't read it, just browse through Goodreads/book blogs. The book's summary and blog reviews should piqued your interest in one/two books, and makes you want to read. You can also read a book blog. Seeing other people raving about a book always makes me want to read.

Book slump is the worst. But it come and go, it happens to everyone, even the most hardcore reader. So don't worry, you'll be just fine. Just enjoy your time off reading, and you'll bounce back soon enough! :)

Review:

I started this book with high expectation of romance. Should've read those words, I mean those words were on the cover :D All I get is a story about family, friendship, betrayal, grief, loss, broken dreams with a sprinkle of romance. That's why it's kind of hard for me to get into the story and the characters because it was so different with my expectations.

Noah and Jude are twins. This book is told from 2 point of view, 13 year old Noah who tells the story how things started to fell apart, and 16 year old Jude trying to make things right and unravelling all the secrets and lies surrounding them. We also have Guillermo Garcia, an amazing sculptor who drowned with his grief, and Oscar, a former drunk and addict. As the truth unfold, it also shows them that they're all connected and they're all important in each other's lives.

Other than romance and family matters, this book also deals with other complex issues about growing up and finding yourself. It deals with loss of an important figure at the most important time in your life, about broken dreams, heterosexual and homosexuality.

The writing style is really unique and artsy, because both Noah and Jude are artist (painter and sculptor). Jandy Nelson describes feelings through art, which is really beautiful and full of raw emotion, but it also makes me feel harder to connect with the characters. Metaphors are beautiful, but I can't stand it because it makes it harder to connect with the characters and story. *cough Shatter me, TFIOS cough*

And my edition also came with some beautiful illustrations!
