>> Seen the first snow of the year (well, first for me at least). It's cold, but not too cold and partly white all around. Trees look amazing ♥

>> Bowling tournament was fun, not OH MY GOD SO MUCH FUN YAY, but fun nonetheless. Our team couldn't win, because apparently no one on the team knew how to play bowling properly :P Balls kept steering to extreme left or right, so all together (6 people) we had 3 strikes, one of them was mine. We had 491 points the champion had 600+ LOL.

>> I'll start reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy today. It's a about a man and a boy (father and son) trying to survive in an apocalyptic world, which is one of my favourite story settings!
Edit after 13 pages: Oh god, this is the opposite of what I like in a book. It is the most confusing and all over the place, overly detailed and depressing book of all times. Considering it won the Pulitzer Prize, I can easily say that it's not a book to spend a good time with. Seriously, I won't waste my time trying to read it. It's just not my style.
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK.
Unless of course you have a ton of time and patience to waste, be my guest.

>> I'm very blah today. I think it's about the weather and the fact that I slept a bit later than I usually do last night.

Oh it was so weird! I should choose books from your lists from now on. Extremely literary books are not my style at all. I don't want to struggle while reading a book, I want to have fun...

IT HAD NO QUOTATION MARKS! D: HORROR.

And I kind of feel bad abandoning the book so early. I wouldn't want anyone to abandon MY BOOKS after 13 pages! But then again I have quotation marks and write mostly YA so yeah...

LOL Bowling is simply a matter of luck for me!

YES. SAME. And the "overly detailed" part of your description really stood out to me because details just bog me down. I feel like they distract me from the story! And I'd heard from others that The Road is depressing and, I mean, I read for fun! So I like it to be lighter.

And, yes, I do feel bad giving up on books so early, but sometimes you DO know that early on!
