Currently Reading/Just Finished
Just Finished:
In the past week, I read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury in a day. Actually, 4 or so hours. I liked it, but I felt rather detached from the story, like when I tried reading Twilight. Yeah, not making that mistake again. Overall, I give the book 3/5 stars, because the writing style and themes are exceptional. In the past two days, I have read Divergent and Insurgent, both by Veronica Roth. I love reads that start off completely utopia, and quickly deteriorate into a dystopia. Can you say plot twist? There was probably a new one nearly every other chapter, but, especially if you watch BBC, you may figure some out before they happen. Fast paced, and a quick read, even though it's the size of a brick and has a higher level vocabulary. I finished each in less than 6 hours. (Actually finished Insurgent an hour ago) Her writing style is more similar to J.K. Rowling's than Suzanne Collins, but Veronica wrote the Divergent trilogy in first person. Also, you may experience slight emotional trauma. I give these books 4/5 stars, on average. I just don't like cliff hangers.
Currently Reading:
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen. I just have no incentive to finish it, other than to finally watch the movie. I do like the book, I just find it kind of slow, for lack of a better word. Also, romance seems to be the main thing. I do read romance novels, but I was expecting something with a bit more substance. I'm about 2/3 of the way through now, and it seems to have lost all substance. Ugh. It's just a bit on the frustrating side. I'm hoping to finish it during my long weekend off from school, along with the next book, which has the same complaints as this one.
Emma, Jane Austen. See above for my complaints. 4/5 stars though, so far. Emma hasn't lost too much substance yet. More likely to finish than Pride and Prejudice.

Book Review-Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult
I stayed up last night to finish Sherlock season 2 and the book Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult. It was such a great read, and the transitioning to another character's perspective was smooth. It is a bit confusing, especially when you get about 1/4 through it, but it all fits together in the end. Plot twists and suspense are high in this book. So much is unexpected. I definitely recommened it. Only 400 pages though.
Wholock is Canon *Theory*
So, I was watching the Hound of the Baskervilles last night, and I noticed something-in reference to aliens, Lestrande (I believe. I just recently started watching, so I'm not sure of the exact person) said, "two. Crashed here in the '60s" when talking to Sherlock. And as all Whovians know, in "Blink", the Doctor and Martha are taken to 1969 due to the weeping angels. (Along with Sally Sparrow, but that was before the Doctor and Martha) What if the two aliens are the Doctor and Martha? Granted, maybe Amelia Pond went to the 60s at the end of Angels Take Manhattan, but I really doubt it. It wouldn't be the first time a Who reference shows up in Sherlock. I called my very Sherlocked friend, and she believes my theory could be true. I have not noticed ANY theory similar to it on pinterest or tumblr. The only Wholock reference in that episode I found through extensive Google searching was a possible TARDIS. WHAT IF? Feel free to repost as long as you credit me. Thank you for reading my (fairly) short theory on Wholock canon.
