“The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg.

Amazing book…I might publish a review after I’m done reading it.

Tumblr is definitely more a habit than a choice.  

Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

First off, this book is amazing, the best book I have read this year after The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Coincidentally (or maybe not so coincidentally) this may also be my first book review after The Fault in Our Stars.

The book sucks you in pretty quick and from very close to the start makes you want to find out ‘what next’ after every page. It is one of the most engrossing books I have ever read. It made everything the main character was feeling and doing so read. All the characters, regardless of their quirk are very real and believable and just make you want to believe them.  Murakami describes the place and feeling so well. The book has a kind of sad and lonely tone, but I don’t think it makes the reader, or it didn’t make me, feel that way. It’s quite serene and made me feel quite peaceful and content and in my own bubble whenever I put it down and did something after reading.

The novel really doesn’t have a genre. If anything I would say kind of (like 500 days of summer but much less fantastical) it is a story of a boy and a girl, but I don’t think it’s quite a love story and it’s not just one boy and girl. That’s another thing the book did, it shows the dynamics of so many couple’s relationships.

I recommend this book to everyone - over the age 15.

I finished reading reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami today.
It’s really good!

Should I post a review of it?
