christianreaderModern Romance - Aziz Ansari
I totally thought this was going to be your average comedy book of memoirs/essays, but instead it's data based on various studies Ansari did with some experts and a lot of polling. Of course, it's presented in a light-hearted and funny way (I LOLed a bit), between all of the f-words. Ansari covers topics like how we choose a partner compared to many years ago, online dating, texting, dating in other countries, and social media's role in relationships. There is swearing and discussion of sexual topics, though, so be warned. It could've been way worse, though. Anyway, overall I enjoyed this and definitely identified with a lot of what was said about singleness today. He touched on topics I had already been pondering the past year, like how our culture's mate standards have changed, and how our fear of settling keeps us from getting married (or finding others willing to).
Evermore - Alyson Noël
First book in the The Immortals series. I did a book rant about this already, but basically it's Twlight but with immortals instead of vampires. And it's easy to make fun of.
Blue Moon - Alyson Noël
Continuing on with The Immortals, because I'm a glutton for punishment. I also did a book rant about this one, and it seemed maybe worse than the first. I don't know that I can continue this series...it's just ridiculous.
