Hey y'all! I've decided to change this blog a lil' bit.
Before, it was just my fanfics and stories. But now, it's going to be a bit more. It's going to ALSO include some recommended books and must-reads.
Here it goes:
First of all, the name of this blog: "Reading is Outlawed!?!" comes from this book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Yup, it's a great book. It's about how in the future, society will ban books, and reading will be outlawed. Anyone who is caught with books will be burned (the books, I mean), but sometimes the people choose to be burned as well. So no one is allowed to read. And get this...the ones BURNING the books are FIREMEN. Instead of putting out fires, they are starting them. Wow.
Second, I am currently reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It's about this girl, Kate, who is diagnosed with leukemia, APL, to be exact. She has a younger sister, Anna, whose parents conceived her through a long procedure of choosing the right organs for Kate to have transplants. So, the mother bore Anna, but she was technically "made" because the parents chose the genes. They didn't make her gorgeous or anything, they just chose Anna's genes so that she could be a donor for Kate. However, Anna gets jealous of the attention that Kate always gets so she decides to quit being Kate's donor and SUE HER PARENTS! It's a great book. A must-read, although, many people tend to cry at the end because it's so sad. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm close.
That's all for today. Make sure to check out these great books!

Hello Dearies!!! I'm back with another section of the newest chapter of Dead End to spoil you. ^_^ However, not a lot of people read this blog. *sigh* But I'll continue blogging just for the heck of it. BTW, to all those who haven't been to my site, please take the time to check it out! ^_^
Here it is, my spoiler:

“It’s too late, Arron.” Hebe told him softly. He looked at her. This frail girl was not the once proud girl he knew. The girl he saw now was a heartbroken and weak girl. The fire in her eyes had died out. He lowered his head. All hope was lost. The bourgeoisie was truly over. Everything he did to keep it together after Rainie and Athena left, after Calvin changed into the drunken player he turned into, was useless. It went all down the drain.
“No! The bourgeoisie needs to stick together. We must!”
They gave him a bitter smile. “What bourgeoisie is left? Calvin was gone the day Rainie left. You were too, when Athena left. Chun changed, from the nice and kind man, to this abusive and sick…THING he is now. Ella’s gone. What is there left of the bourgeoisie? Forget the mission Boss assigned you. There’s not one person left. You told him you didn’t want to do the mission the day you met Athena. Now you are going back on your words?”
He shook his head, adamant. “No, I’m doing it because I have no one left. I had someone, had you guys, had what I’ve been wanting my whole life. A family. But now it’s gone. I-“ He trailed off. “I am going back to what I’ve been doing. What I will CONTINUE to do. You guys did the same thing. For these past few years, you’ve killed people. Murdered.” He accused, trying to make the girls feel guilty.
“Maybe that’s why we are leaving. Maybe we should’ve left when Athena and Rainie did. Because we couldn’t stand the killing. Don’t try to guilt us. It’s not going to work, Arron. Go back. We would be fine. Goodbye Arron. Goodbye.” Hebe said, giving him a hug.
“Don’t go! Stay, please, stay!” Arron cried, close to tears. It was tearing the girls up seeing him so helpless. They were his “sisters.” They’ve been through everything together.
“Arron, it’s time for you to grow up. We have to leave. We have to. If we are meant to meet again, we will. Goodbye.” Selina whispered, giving him a watery smile. Then, the two of them turned and walked away.
