Wool - Hugh Howey

Wool is the first book in the Silo/Wool trilogy by Hugh Howey. It's also the first book that I have read from this author. It kind of reminds me of The 100 with the whole post-apocalypse were the air is toxic but these people lives in a underground silo on earth instead of space. So if you like The 100 then this might be a book for you! I enjoyed this book so much that I bought the last two books in this trilogy at work today! :P

The Blurb:
In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exist in a giant underground silo.

Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full og rules and regulations.
But some people choose not to conform.
These are the people who dare to hope and dream.
These are the dangerous ones.
Jules is one of these people.
She may well be the last.


My Thoughts:
I finally finished it! The beginning was bit slow, but when I started reading it again after finishing Always With Love, I could barely put it down! When I first started on this book, all I could think about was the beginning(?) of the second season of The 100 with the new people that shows up out of nowhere. Not the grounders, but the others. (if you have seen it, you'll know :P)

Apart from reminding me of that tv-show, I really liked this a lot and am glad I bought it! The beginning might be slow, but the rest was a thrilling, suspenseful read. The characters got their own personalities and it is easy to get to "know" them. And, of course, there's one character that you just hate :P Never fails with these kind of books! The silo seems like an exhausting place to live with all the stairs you have to go to just to get to a level. If you live on level 1 and have to get down to level 100, you have to walk all those stairs to get there which will take you 2-3. And then you'll have to go back up again... so yeah.. sounds exhausting! Of course they stay over night to rest on different levels when going up or down, but still...

Without saying too much about the story, I can also say that a tiny part of it kind of reminds me about Divergent. Not sure how to explain that but, it's about the jobs and the kids shadowing  older people and have to decide if this is the place they want to stay and work. Like, if you're smart, you end up working on the IT level, if you're good with machines and fixing things, like the main character, you become a mechanic and so on. If that made any sense...

Other than reminding me of tv-shows/books, I was really into this book. I had a huge grin on my face and got excited when things happened, and also got angry, sad and all the different emotions you get reading books like these.

And as always, I'm not sure what more to say other than it was a thrill read and I can't wait to read the next book in this trilogy!

Bye! x

Next book to read: Shift (Nr. 2, Wool/Silo trilogy) by Hugh Howey

Bookhaul and update

I got me some new books...again! They just keep coming and I can't help it!

I guess that's how it goes when I work in a bookstore... aaaand also earning my own money again...

Anyways, I now got 6 new books in my shelf! I'm also waiting for the newest book by Giovanna Fletcher called Always with love to arrive. So looking forward to read it! It's the sequel to her debut novel called Billy and me and I completely adored that book and her little short christmas story Christmas with Billy and me ^^

Here's this month little bookhaul:

Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella
I am Pilgrim (Nr. 1, Pilgrim series) by Terry Hayes
Mr. Mercedes (Nr. 1, Bill Hodges trilogy) by Stephen King
Irène (Nr. 1, Camille Verhæven series) by Pierre Lemaitre
Half Lost (Nr 3, Half Bad trilogy) by Sally Green
The Missing by C. L. Taylor


Update on Currently Reading:
I am still reading Wool by Hugh Howey. So far so good even though I haven't read that much! :) It kind of reminds me of the place Clarke and the others ends up in season 2 of The 100 really. And the world is toxic so the people in this story can't go outside without dying. That too is similar to The 100. It does say that it's the new Hunger Games or something, so we'll see if they're right :P

That's all for now!

New books and some update!

Long time, no see! Sorry about that... I haven't had the time to read much lately...or I have had time, but I've been looking after my friend's dogs and it wasn't that easy to feel relaxed enough to sit down and read my book. And that's my excuse this time...Oh! I also got a job now! In a bookstore! Yey! It's not much though, only 1 weekday and 1 Saturday every 3 weeks and some more during summer and when they need someone to take a shift. But it's something! :D

So, moving on to my new books, ey?
Today my bf and I went to this new geek store called Outland that opened last month and they had loads of geeky things and books there so I ended up buying 3 books (they were a bit cheap so I thought, why not?) and Castiel Pop! Funko thingy (now I got Destiel on my shelf! X) also bought s. 10 of spn too in a different store...).

Anyways... here's my latest collection of booksies!

Nevermore (Nr. 1, Supernatural) by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Wool (Nr. 1, Silo (or Wool?)) by Hugh Howey
Gone (Nr 1, Gone) by Michael Grant

Have wanted to check out the Supernatural series and found some of them at Outland so I decided to buy the first one to see how it was! So excited to read it!
So these were the new books for now :)

As for the one I'm reading now, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, I really like it so far even thought I haven't read that much. It was a nice change from The Twistrose Key because it's kinda the same, but more "grown up" and the "animals" are more or less humans in this one. Hopefully I will finish it soon and give you a review sometime this week or next week!

And that was all for now!
