What are you currently reading?

Happy Wednesday!

I was wondering what are you currently reading? Well, I'm reading The Fever Code by James Dashner, it's the second prequel in The Maze Runner series. Although it has a different pacing from the first prequel, it's still very interesting. Lately, I have been finding it a little difficult to focus on my reading (anyone else?), despite that I have less than a hundred pages left. So, I should have my review up very soon.

Total side note, but why must I suffer from reader's block? Yeah, sorry for being overly dramatic. However, this time I've been doing a lot better with it, because I have been continuing to read in spite of it. Maybe I'll write something about how to focus or re-focus on reading.

Currently Reading: The Fever Code

Happy Saturday!

Since, I'm still trying to read through my To Be Read list, I wasn't sure what to read next. While going through one of my bookcases I spotted The Fever Code by James Dashner. This is not only the final book in The Maze Runner series but also the second prequel. I really enjoyed reading the first prequel The Kill Order (which is also the fourth book in the series).

The Fever Code is supposed to answer the question of why the the maze was built? It's been a while since I've finished a book series, I can't wait to start reading this.

Throwback Thursday: The Train Chase (Maze Runner: The Death Cure)

It's been a while since I've watched any of The Maze Runner movies but I still remember the train chase scene from the third movie, The Death Cure. It is a really good scene. The Gladers and their friends had a plan to rescue their friend and fellow Glader Minho who was captured by WCKD at the end of the second movie, The Scorch Trials.

It was an exciting plan. Although they rescued a lot of people, the plan didn't quite work out how they intended in regards to Minho. Which required another plan that wasn't as thought out as this one but it did work.

Edition: Paperback

Description:

Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population.

Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage.

They're convinced that there's a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you're worth more dead than alive.

What's the First Book You're Reading for the New Year?

Happy New Year! My plan is to start this new year by reading more and the first book I'm starting with is The Kill Order by James Dashner. It's the first prequel of The Maze Runner series, I had planned to read it last year but throughout most of the year I was dealing with ongoing reader's block. Thankfully, I am not dealing with that issue and I'm just looking forward to reading this today.

What book are you starting the new year with?

Three Book Series I Want to Read

I have three book series that I want to start reading soon: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Maze Runner by James Dashner and The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. These books, which are still sealed, have been sitting on my shelf for a little over two years and I don't want them to sit there any longer before I get around to reading them.

So, after I finish reading Heat Rises by Richard Castle, I'll read the first book from either The Hunger Games or The Maze Runner. As for The Mortal Instruments, I believe the series crossover with the author other series The Infernal Devices trilogy. I'm not sure if I should start reading TMI before getting the other series. At the moment, I have no idea which first book I'm going to read from either THG or TMR but I'll figure it out.

In The Death Cure was it Friendship or Something More for Thomas and Brenda?

After re-watching The Death Cure yesterday, I realized there were more moments between Thomas and Brenda than I initially noticed the first time I watched the movie. Although Brenda and Thomas never kissed or confessed their love in this movie, I feel like they have a friendship that is headed towards romance. There was a lot of meaning and emotion in a lot of their scenes. It's hard not to see all the looks and not wonder if there was something developing between them.

DVD Tuesday: The Death Cure

I pre-ordered The Death Cure and it's not arriving in the mail until tomorrow. I'm totally impatient because I want to watch this again. I still wish there was more shown between Thomas and Brenda but this really was a great ending to The Maze Runner movie series.

Before I forget, Static Shock Season 4 is also out today but I'm going to wait to get it because I still have to get seasons 2 and 3.

Description:

In the epic finale to the Maze Runner saga, Thomas leads his group of escaped Gladers on their final and most dangerous mission yet. To save their friends, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all. Anyone who makes it out alive will get answers to the questions the Gladers have been asking since they first arrived in the maze.

Rewatch: The Scorch Trials (The Maze Runner)

The joys of being at home sick, yesterday I re-watched The Scorch Trials, I forgot how much I loved this movie. I liked The Maze Runner, as the first movie in the series it did a great job of introducing the characters but I enjoyed the second and third movies a little bit more. And that's more to do with the horror element that was added on.

Fashion Meets Comics: Brenda Inspired Outfit (The Maze Runner)

I don't know anything about The Maze Runner book version of Brenda (I still haven't read the books) but in the movies she's scrappy and resourceful. It's all about survival for her with fashion being a low priority. Despite devastating living conditions, she has cultivated a cozy survivalist look. I love that it's the end of the world and she still somehow found cozy sweaters and tops.

Instead of trying to duplicate an outfit from the movies, I created one that's inspired by the character. For this look, I found a cute and sturdy jacket that has lots of pockets and paired with a cozy sweater, jeggings and boots. In the movies, Brenda used a backpack but I switched that for a satchel bag. I think it still has that survivalist feel while still being chic.

I would love to know what you think of this look, leave me a comment.

Where Is "The Maze Runner" Merchandise?

It's so cool that The Death Cure is #1 at the box office but now I'm wondering where is the merchandise? For a successful book and movie franchise there's no official merchandise for The Maze Runner series.

I know if I want to buy stuff then there are other fans who do as well. I would have loved to have worn a t-shirt when I went to see The Death Cure but there are not any available. And as a tote bag enthusiast, I would love a Maze Runner tote but yet again there are not any. I know I can probably find fan created items on sites like Etsy or Society6 but it would be cool if there were official merchandise.

Since Disney now owns the film series (they bought 20th Century Fox) will the company finally put out more merchandise? I think that's something fans would really be excited for especially since all there is to buy are the books and the movies.
