Hey, just some RANDOMNESS!! (Ha, see what I did there?)

Okay, so I have a few things.

First, I am proud to say that I finished reading The Princess Bride last week. If you haven't read it or seen the movie, then I will just say that you are crazy and need to watch/read it. I would recommend watching it though, because I think I like the movie better.
Really, I'm impressed. The dialogue in most parts is word for word, and what they changed in the movie was for the better.
What I really hated about the book was 1. the fact that S. Morgenstern liked to go on and on about things and 2. he made Buttercup a selfish brat. In the movie, she was a very selfless, likable character. In the book, she wasn't selfless at ALL. I mean, the things they changed in the movie was some of the things she said, and they didn't really say how mean she was to Westley before she all of a sudden loved him.

Anyway, now, to continue, I would like to say that I am now taking on the task of reading The Host, since its huge and the movie  was pretty sweet. I also had a lot of time to read today, since I had several tests.
So far, I'm seeing a little bit of Morgenstern--the whole stretching things and going on about random stuff. That's okay, but my mind can NOT deal with that sometimes.

Now, I would like to obsess about NaNoWriMo--national novel writing month. Its a thing where you write 50,000 words in 30 days (all of November) and I'm actually doing really well. By tonight, I need to have 25,000 words to be on track, and I'm just past 22,000 (Since I skipped writing yesterday). Its manageable.
The thing about it, though, is a constant ping pong game. You're ahead one day, then you blink and you're 5,000 words behind. Its fun, but kinda stressful too since I know I need to do it. Its a challenge that I'm determined to do, you know? And that is why I'm a freak. Ha, not really. Well.... I dunno. Am I a freak? Probably. *shrug*.

Well, now I'm wrapping up. You can go back to your lives now.

Thanks for reading (it was probably torture, so I'm very pleased if you made it this far)

Stay determined. Trust me, its worth it in the end.

Jac's Back!

Hey, people. I'm sorry, first of all. I feel like I've abandoned you guys.

So, I do have some news to share. Breaking Free is in ebook stores already. *tears up* My first series finished as an author myself. I'm happy about that.

Since this blog is about books that other people write, I'm going to just move on now. I've been reading a lot lately--not as much as I used to, but I still read a lot.

Books I'm going to talk about:

  • Freefall by Tess Oliver
  • Guardians: The Girl by Lola StVil
  • Hush, Hush SERIES by Becca Fitzpatrick
  • Lux series by Jennifer L. Armentrout (Obsidian, Onyx, Opal, Origin)
Okay, I'm going to start with Freefall, since that's the one that's been on my mind for the past two hours. No, more like the past two weeks.
I really liked this book. It's recommended for a mature audience, but that's just because there is a lot of foul language and has sexual content.
I was really hesitant on reading it, but the sample caught my attention, so I went ahead and bought it. It's not as bad as the warning makes it seem, but that might just be me. I'm good at ignoring that kind of thing.
Here's the overview from Barnes and Noble:

New Adult Contemporary Romance

After leaving high school, with a hard won diploma and the title of most likely to break hearts, Alexander “Nix” Pierce has left his wild, out of control years mostly behind him. A small inheritance from his grandfather has given him the funds to open up his tattoo shop, Freefall, and he has started to pull his life together. Aside from trying to keep his best friend, Dray, from killing himself in the fight ring, and his slight obsession with a pin-up model he’s never met, Nix’s life is going smoothly . . . until Scotlyn James, the object of his obsession, walks into his shop.

Ever since a tragic accident killed her family and left her alone in the world, Scotlyn James hasn’t spoken one word. Up until now she didn’t care that she had no way of talking to people. Her awful aunt would never have listened, and Lincoln Hammond the arrogant, selfish man who pulled her from the streets of Los Angeles wouldn’t hear her words if she could speak. But when Lincoln insists she get a tattoo to cover up a scar on her side, Scotlyn meets the artist, Nix Pierce. And now she longs for her voice. Now she has found someone who will hear her.


So, yeah. I would give it 4 stars. There were some things that I didn't really like, but most of it was pretty good. Nix was a cool character, and I really liked Scotlyn. You just have to get used to the fact that she doesn't talk and what she writes is her words.

Guardians: The Girl is awesome so far. There's some stuff I don't like, but I'm almost done with it. Yeah, I know. I haven't finished a book, and I've been on it for a week or two *gasps in shock* I know. I've been busy! So far, I give it 3.8 stars.

Quickly, I'm going to talk about the Hush Hush series and the Lux. The main guy characters (Patch from Hush Hush and Daemon from Lux) are really important in my life right now. My best friend, Bailey, and I have been arguing over which guy is better (sexier, hotter, a better match for their girls....) I think Daemon's better, but she disagrees. Right now, she's actually reading the Lux series for the first time and is already getting swayed a little bit in my direction.

So, to settle this, if you would please comment or something and tell me who is your favorite (Daemon or Patch). If you don't know who they are or haven't read the books, then just tell me which name you like better. Seriously, this needs to be settled.

That's it for me, guys. Sorry the post was so long.

Thanks for reading!!!

Keep dreaming, because there's a lot of dreams to be had. (Blades of Glory)

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, COMMENT EITHER DAEMON OR PATCH!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! THE FATE OF MY NERD LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!!!!!!!

News and Book Reviews. Hey, that rhymed!

Okay, so... how are you guys doing?
Anyway, I've got some news! Breaking Away is officially on Barnes and Noble! I'm soooo excited!! It's the second book in the Breaking series--after Remaining Unbroken. The third book--Breaking Free--should be out in a few weeks.

Okay, next on the agenda.... Origin by Jennifer Armentrout comes out at the end of the month. I'm soooo ready to read it! As soon as I get up that morning, it's gonna be on my Nook.

Now, I've also finished reading My Life Next Door. I don't know who the author is, but let me just say... this book was friggin awesome. I mean, REALLY AWESOME!! It was really expensive too, but.... I usually spend a buck or two on books, so ten this time wasn't TOO awful. 4.99999 stars on this one. And if you're wondering why I didn't give it 5--I didn't like one teeny tiny thing in it. Really, it's so dismal it doesn't even matter.

Anyway, I've also got to tell you that the 11th doctor--Matt Smith--is leaving Doctor Who. Most of you are probably thinking "Duh, already knew that!" or "Who cares?" or "What's doctor who?" Anyway, I've known for forever that he was leaving after season 7, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it. The 12th doctor was revealed today, and his name is Peter Capaldi. I was upset that he wasn't ginger. I mean... Right?

I've also gotten interested in the show Supernatural. My sister and I have been watching it for a month or so and have already seen the first 4 seasons and are halfway through season 5.

I'm almost done writing my latest book--which I already mentioned above. In, like, the first few sentences of the post--and I'm really happy. This is going to be awesome--my first series finished! Booya!

Well, I have band practice tomorrow, so I should go to bed.

Thanks for reading! Bye!!

Stay nerdy.

Ranting

Hey, everyone! Been a long time, huh?

This has been an awesome summer so far, but it's almost over. That means less reading time :'(
Anyway, I'll still make time for books though. Always.

I just finished reading The Heart's Ashes by A. M. Hudson. It's the second book in the Dark Secrets series, and I kind of liked this one.
Honestly, I was kind of disappointed. The first one was really good, but really only a 4 star book. It was just really long and Ara fell for the wrong guy and made a lot of wrong choices.

I'll write Dark Secrets Overview, so you're not confused by my ranting on it.

Ara-Rose has secrets, just like everyone else, but hers are more serious. One major thing forced her to move in with her dad, her stepmom--Vicki--and her half-brother, Sam. Every day is nothing but darkness and despair, and she just wallows in self-pity and her secrets.
Then she meets David Knight at her new school. He's mysterious and confident, and with a past she couldn't even imagine. They instantly hit it off, and start seeing each other more and more.
Is it so good to be true?
Turns out, David's not an ordinary guy. He's got his own dark secrets, and it's enough to scare her to death.
He's a vampire, and not a Cullen either. He kills humans, and some of them might have been someone Ara even knew. And he now has to leave.
He gives Ara the choice of staying and living without him forever, or going with him and changing. She'd have to kill, and she might actually enjoy it.

Anyway, that's the overview. The book itself doesn't really have one, so that's why I wrote one myself.

Here's the link if you want to check it out. It's a free e-book, after all.

Anyway, the second book's ending was awesome, but I don't know... I don't think I'll read Mark of Betrayal--book 3. Ara falls for more than just David, and that just makes me mad.

Well, sorry about that ranting. Oooh, I like that! That's gonna be the title of this post--Ranting.

Anyways, thanks for reading. I think I'm going to just finish now--before I continue ranting on how David is the perfect match for Ara, and how I hate Mike, but I actually liked Jason, just not as much as David, and Eric was pretty cool when he wasn't annoying me, and how Emily was awesome until... and how Ara is so annoying and slow with decisions and naïve and stubborn and... Yeah. So, I'm gonna end it here.

I even wrote a poem for this book. I'm gonna post it for fun:

Heart of ashes
Cold as stone
Soon it smashes
Life inward shone

Bright as day
But isn't pure
It can't stay
That I'm sure

When it breaks
Like before,
Light forsakes
Gone once more

Did you like it? Comment if you did.

Thanks for reading!!

Me Raging On

Hey, everybody!
Okay, so I haven't really read very much, but I do want to obsess over the book I am reading, called Dark Secrets.
Of course, I talked briefly about this one last week, but this time, I'm a lot farther into it, and I am FURIOUS!!!!!

Frist of all, David is sooooo much better than Mike. I mean, SERIOUSLY!!! David is a freaking vampire, and Mike is the best friend that rejected her and practically killed her mom. Yes, I'm really mad. Bailey was laughing at me for having such a strong reaction.

Anyways, that's pretty much it.

Oh, one more thing. Origin's cover was released like last week, and it is the best one yet.

 
I can't wait to read it!!!!
 
Okay, well, BYE!!!
 
Thanks for reading.

New Books and Supernatural

Okay, I don't have much time to talk right now, but here's the books I've read recently.

  • Dark Secrets by AM Hudson
  • A Diamond in my Pocket by Lorena Angell
  • Clarity by Kim Harrington
Dark Secrets was really good--I liked David--but the main character, Ara, infuriated me. She was always making the worst decisions, and a lot of the time I was aggravated with her. But overall, it was an awesome book. It was completely free, and it was really good sized.

A Diamond in my Pocket was awesome. Of course, I've read it before, but it was a year so I decided to read it again. I fell in love with the story of Chris and Callie all over again. It's also free.

Clarity was good, but I didn't like how I was expecting something and it turned out to be completely different. I did guess who the murderer was, though!! I was proud of myself for that one. This one's 3 bucks.

Anyway, that's pretty much it for what I've been reading. It would have been more, but I honestly don't remember what they are. And I've been writing a lot--a lot. I've started the third book in my Breaking series click here to go to the first book--Remaining Unbroken--at Barnes and Noble.

I started watching Supernatural. Today, I saw the first 7 episodes on Netflix. It's amazing--kinda scary, but amazing. Do you read that., Bailey? I started it just like I said I would.

That's it for me.

Thanks for reading.

Bookworms and BOOYA!!! by Nona King

Okay, I have found an amazing series--not joking here, I'm freaking in love with the main guy character. Okay, I am joking, but STILL!!

It's called Bookworms and... BOOYA by Nona King. The cool thing is, it's the first in a 4 book series, and they are ALL FREE on Barnes and Noble. CLICK HERE to go to its page on Barnes and Noble.

I know I usually don't really promote books like that, but it's free, so you might as well take advantage of it.

The only thing I didn't really like (but liked at the same time) was you had to have a little bit of knowledge on SeeD, the Garden, Zell, Seifer, and all those people. I still don't get what the MegaPhoenix is, but who cares? The series is awesome.

Zell is an amazing character. I like Sally too, since she's so shy it's comical, but I don't really like the way she worries--she worries about everything. She worried that she couldn't get Zell a hot dog, seriously.

Anyway, I have read several books in the past few weeks, but I honestly don't remember how many or what they were. So I'm just gonna be talking about this series.

By the way, Bookworms and Booya was so good that I actually didn't go to bed AT ALL when I started reading it. I finished it at like 3 in the morning and got the second book, finishing that and then I took a nap before starting book 3.

Also, Nona King used SMASHWORDS to publish her books, which is the same site I use. It's pretty awesome if you have a book you want to publish as an e-book.

Thanks for reading

Obsessions matter

Many books

Hey!

I'll get right to it here.

  • Anathema by KA Tucker
  • Asylum by KA Tucker
  • If I Should Die by Amy Plum
  • Until I Die by Amy Plum
There may be more, but I don't really remember.

Okay, I finished up the Revenant books (the ones by Amy Plum) a few weeks ago, and I really liked them. The first one was called Die for Me, which I was probably obsessing over in earlier posts.

The ones by KA Tucker are also part of a series, but I haven't read the third book Allegiance.
Okay, with this series though, I stayed up until I finished the first two--they were that good.
Let me see if I can get an overview...

Anathema

Evangeline has spent her teenage years in obscurity. Her foster parents have the emotional aptitude of robots and her classmates barely acknowledge her existence. About to turn eighteen and feeling like a social pariah, she is desperate to connect with someone. Anyone.

When Evangeline meets
Sofie after literally stumbling upon her café, she believes she’s found that connection. Willing to...

This one is actually a free ebook on Barnes and Noble--I don't know how expensive it is anywhere else. I will say, it was amazing and way worth my time. 4.95 stars.

I also really liked Caden. Ah.... Except for a few times, when he was a real jerk, but he did that only because he had to.
I don't know, I'm obsessive--it's in the freaking title of this blog.

The second one was kind of depressing because Caden and Evangeline were separated for almost the entire thing. That was really annoying.

Anyway, I should go. After I type an amazing poem, which is going to be in the book that I'm writing Staying Strong.

Trust must be earned
And life can be lost
Time still moves on
As dust turns to frost

You like it? It took me about two minutes to write. When I get a random thought, I'll put it in a poem. I'm weird.

Anyway. BYE!!!

Thanks for reading

The Elite!!!!

Okay, I just finished reading The Elite by Kiera Cass--I think--and it was awesome.

It is the second book in the Selection series, and I've loved the books from the start. This book isn't as good as the first one, in my opinion, but it made me want to laugh and cry and scream in rage all at the same time--even though I only really screamed in rage (on several occasions) and laughed like a maniac.

Anyways... here's the overview, so you have some idea what I'm going to be obsessing about.

In America Singer’s world, a bride is chosen for the prince through an elaborate televised competition. In the second book of the Selection series, America is one of only six girls left in the running. But is it Prince Maxon—and life as the queen—she wants? Or is it Aspen, her first love?

The Elite

I will now give my honest opinions...and there are many...
I liked Maxon so much better throughout the entire first book--even, honestly, before he was introduced, since I'd read the summary of the book. He was so cool--so nice and so proper and so caring, but he also could be a bit clueless and awkward.
In this book, though.... I don't know. Some things happened that had me practically screaming for her to choose Maxon, like when she was with Aspen. Then Maxon started gaining distance, throwing it between him and America. He started hanging out with the other girls more and more, and he became more involved and interested with a few of them--like Kriss and...*gulp* Celeste. He also grew colder.... but I still liked him until he did something pretty revolting.
Then I was all--America deserved it--she really did. Every time she doubted herself, she would blame him and it just infuriated me. Then he makes me go to mush all over again because he tries to make it right.
Aspen, on the other hand, doesn't believe the fact that America could want anyone besides him. He was her first love, they were engaged...but he was the one that turned on her in the very beginning of book one! It was his persuasion that landed her in the palace. In the end, though, that all changed her. She did actually fall for Maxon, even if she couldn't stop what she felt for Aspen.
She could actually have chosen Maxon and he would have been so shocked, like how dare she. You know? It got on my nerves!

Anyways, I just can't wait for the next book, so I can finally see who is selected!!
Peace out! I gotta go ta bed!!!

Thanks for reading about my crazy obsession! *wink*

Bye.

Five More Books To Go!!!

Hey everyone!!!---That is... if anyone's reading this.....but since it's public, I'm just gonna assume you are!

Anyways, I just finished reading Apollyon by Jennifer Armentrout.
Well, technically, I have 3 pages left, but who cares about three pages? The climax has already happened.

I liked this one--it's the fourth in the series--but I wasn't all oooh! OMG!!!  even though it was really good. Aiden is still better than Seth and all that jazz.

Don't get me wrong--Jennifer Armentrout is one of my favorite authors of all time--I loved the books. They just aren't comparable to....say...the Lux series (which was also written by Armentrout)

Okay, now, on a better note, I got to see Iron Man 3 today!! It was AMAZING!! I loved it so much.... It was the funniest out of all of them... even though I don't remember the first one. I loved all of the Iron Man movies except for really the 2nd one--that one was kinda lame.

Anyways, you can now get back to your lives.

Thanks for reading.

Stay nerdy.

Nerdy Nerdness from the Nerd

Hey people!

Okay, so my day so far has been a mix of good things and bad things and somewhat impartial things that can't pick either good or bad!! The bad thing was my glasses broke...which just really sucks, since I'm practically blind without them.

Anyways...

So, now I'm going to talk about a new television show I love (other than Doctor Who).  It's called Brain Games and it is completely amazing! My favorite person on it is Apollo because he is freaking amazing! The host guy is cool too, but Apollo is good with tricking you and picking your pocket. It's so awesome.

I learned from that show about how your brain can trick you, and how people can be under the illusion that it's humanly possible to multitask.

Anyways... Here's the list of books I'm currently reading at the same time.


  • Apollyon by Jennifer Armentrout
  • The Elite Kiera Cass
  • Until I Die by Amy Plum...? I think?
  • Divergent by... come on, if you don't know which book divergent is, you're living under a freaking rock--no offense intended.
  • Unfaz,,,something along those lines... I don't know the end of the word.  Don't expect me to know the author if I can't name it.
  • Alone by LN Cronk (next book in the Chop-Chop series)
Anyways, that's the update on all things Jackie. I'm almost done with Apollyon, and I'll talk about it in the next post.

Sorry, if I misspelled some words... I really can't see the computer screen.

Later.

Thanks for reading!!!

And happy Gerd day! (Wellllll..... to Kyra it's gerd day.....) (it means "geek" and "nerd", btw)

Thanks.

Later.

Sleepier Than the Sleepiest Sleepy Dog or Cat in This Sleepy World!

Okay.... I'm so tired.

Anyways....

So, I was obsessing over Apollyon by Jennifer Armentrout, the one and only. It is in a series, including...
  • Half-Blood
  • Pure
  • Deity
  • Elixir
  • Apollyon
Let me just get a pic of it...
Apollyon (Covenant Series #4)

I don't know about you, but I think that's a pretty sweet pic. Good cover art and everything.
Thank you, Grace, for letting me borrow this series, since it is totally amazing and awesome, but not quite as good as the Lux series (which I am still totally obsessed with still).

I mean, seriously! LOOK AT THAT!!!!!
Obsidian (Lux Series #1)Onyx (Lux Series #2)Opal (Lux Series # 3)


I know, I'm being random and weird, but that's what happens when it's 11 pm after a busy day.

Anyways, I'm going to redesign my entire blog for something to do. If it stays the same, that just means I failed.

BYE!
Thanks for putting up with my randomness.

Madder Than a Hatter

Yo peoples!

Sorry for the delay--I've been busier than usual.

First it was this Civil War project that we are doing for History class--which I finished in one afternoon, when the project was supposed to last for several weeks, which really made my teacher's eyes widen.
Then it was all this EOC preparing and everything... yeah, it's been both boring and chaotic.

The good news is....
I can FINALLY solve a 4x4x4 Rubik's cube! I just got one last week and it took me 2 days to be able to solve it.

Okay, now to the latest books I've been reading.

Die for Me by Amy Plum is up first.


Die for Me
 
 
Okay, let me just say... the author--Amy Plum--is AMAZING!!!!!
I loved this book a ton. 5 stars!
So, just so you have an idea of what the heck I'm talking about when I start obsessing about it in a minute, I'll post what the overview is on Barnes and Noble, since I'd give away too much if I just wrote my own.
 
My life had always been blissfully, wonderfully normal. But it only took one moment to change everything.
Suddenly, my sister, Georgia, and I were orphans. We put our lives into storage and moved to Paris to live with my grandparents. And I knew my shattered heart, my shattered life, would never feel normal again. Then I met Vincent.
Mysterious, sexy, and unnervingly charming, Vincent Delacroix appeared out of nowhere and swept me off my feet. Just like that, I was in danger of losing my heart all over again. But I was ready to let it happen.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy. Because Vincent is no normal human. He has a terrifying destiny, one that puts his life at risk every day. He also has enemies . . . immortal, murderous enemies who are determined to destroy him and all of his kind.
While I'm fighting to piece together the remnants of my life, can I risk putting my heart—as well as my life and my family's—in jeopardy for a chance at love?

Doesn't it just sound amazing? Well, if you said no, then you're a liar and yes, you should feel bad now. This book was awesome before you came around with all your negativity!! Gosh! ;)

Okay, Vincent is my next book boyfriend! Not really... he's Kate's guy.
The only thing I didn't like was when Kate thought Vincent was some kind of criminal or something, and she turned her back on him. Then, when she found out what he really was, she turned her back on him again. She was an idiot, but I understood why she did what she did. She also made up for it in the end, so it was amazing. And I've been saying that word a lot. Amazing.
What can I say? It's an amazing word.

I'm sorry, guys. I'm a little mad today--as in crazy, not angry.
I'm so mad I'm... madder than a hatter! Yes, I like that! Madder than a hatter!

I'll post the picture of the book I'm reading right now, since everyone knows of this book.

Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent (Divergent Series #1)
Well, that's pretty much it for me.
Talk to y'all later!
Madder than a hatter.... I really like that.
 
Thanks for reading--if you even made it this far before my 'madder than a hatter' speech messed with your brain!
 
Bye.

Books--I've Always Got More Books

Sorry for the delay--I've been a bit busy.

I've recently actually finished writing my own book--I KNOW, the reader becomes the writer! It actually won 2nd place in this writing fair thing. I was only after Parker; DANG IT! I was afraid he'd hold it over me, but, surprisingly, he just laughed when I brought that up. Now he wants to read it himself... weird, right?

As that turned out, he thought I made it really sad, and he wished I'd given it a happy ending (the main character died right in front of the guy that loved her). But I think that happy endings are so... cliché. Am I right or am I right?

Anyways, on top of writing a full length novel--in just a week, I might add, I've also been reading A LOT.
Here's the list of all--maybe most, my memory isn't the greatest sometimes, so I might be leaving some out--the books I've read or started reading and have intentions to finish or am waiting to start on. No judging my choices in books, since I'm just rereading some of them because I was bored.
  1. Fallen
  2. Crooked House (an Agatha Christie book, which is weird since I don't read classics)
  3. Eternal Eden
  4. Twilight
  5. New Moon
  6. Eclipse
  7. Breaking Dawn (as I said, no judging)
  8. Torment
  9. Passion
  10. Fallen in Love
  11. Rapture (8-11 are all part of the Fallen series)
  12. Accordance
  13. Defiance
  14. Independence
  15. The Graveyard Book
I could go on and on, but I don't really have time for that.
Anyways....

So, how's life with everyone? Is everything okay?

I guess I'll go. And I'll try to post stuff more often.

Thanks for spending your time on my blog!

Keep up the geekiness

The Selection by Kiera Cass

Okay, I'll skip the introductions and go straight to the good stuff--book reviews and overviews.

I recently finished The Selection by Kiera Cass, and I LOVED IT! I thought it was hilarious, amazing, awesome, FANTASTIC, and BRILLIANT! 5 stars!
Okay, if you have no idea what The Selection is about, I'm just going to give you the overview...

Overview

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

Yeah, I honestly liked Maxon better than Aspen. Don't ask me why; I could go on and on.
This book was kinda the big thing at my school, so I read it when Grace let me borrow it, since I couldn't buy it because it was really expensive for a book.
Maxon... I think she'll end up with him because there's still that spark. She, of course, has that with Aspen, but it was his fault she was in the palace in the first place. And HE was the one that broke her heart before she left.
I didn't really like America right in the end, though. I thought she was a pretty cool girl until something happens in the end and she's forced to choose between the two guys.

Yeah, I'll stop obsessing now and let you get back to your life.
Bye!!!
Stay nerdy.

Obsessing About ANOTHER Book

Hey. I'm probably the only one reading this, but whatever. Here we go...

Yesterday, I finished reading Starkissed by Brynna Gabrielson.
I liked this book. I started reading it at, like, midnight and stayed awake until 3 in the morning, just reading it. Then I woke up early and read it nonstop until I finished it. That means it's good.
I would give this one 4 stars. It was entertaining, but...there was some stuff that annoyed me a bit. Like, she didn't really like Grant the way he thought she did until the end, and she made some stupid mistake because she wasn't thinking about Grant.
Okay, overview so you're not confused.
Sydney Kane is ordinary, invisible. She is one out of six sisters, and all of them have the same blonde hair, tan skin, and blue eyes...except her. She's brunette, pale, and green eyed. Automatically, people assume that she's a cousin or something.
Anyways. Sydney takes a trip to NYC to visit one of her sisters--Alyssa--and ends up at a LIMA without her sister. She accidentally runs into a guy named Grant, with good looks, a perfect smile, and a guy that looks around every time he hears something strange. He kisses her outside, right in front of dozens of paparazzi.
Turns out, Grant was the famous Grant West--an actor that is huge. Sydney's life is turned completely upside down back home. People pretend to be her friend, everyone stares, and there's always the whispering. Finally, when things go back to normal, something else happens and she's back in the spotlight again. Grant comes back and apologizes, but she pretty much hates his guts.
Then he asks her on a date, wanting to get to know her. She refuses, since there is still Colin--the guy she's practically been in love with for over three years. He'd finally seemed a little interested, but then Grant came to town, scaring him off a bit.
She has to choose--Grant or Colin?

Okay, that was a bit long, but you get the idea. I could keep going for a long time, but I don't want to give it all away. The thing is...I'm happy with the ending, but not happy at the same time. I do like Sydney--she kind of reminds me of myself...very clumsy, invisible, and she sees things as they are, not how she wants to see them. The popular kids started talking to her, but she told them off, saying that they really didn't give a crap about her, so stop pretending you do. I liked that. The only thing I didn't like about her--and this wasn't her fault--was that she was easy to read. If she was even slightly uncomfortable or embarassed, her face was as red as a tomato.
I didn't really like Colin because he only really wanted her when she was taken. I didn't really like Grant because he cared a lot about how people saw him. When he kissed Sydney, it was because he didn't want to look pathetic in front of the press, since his famous ex was there with a date.
Other than that, I liked Colin, and I liked Grant. Granted, I liked Grant more, but that's because I've got a thing for zombie hunters, even if he's only the actor and isn't really a zombie hunter. He's just...soooo mighty fine.

Anyways, the title of the post wasn't lying, I'm obsessive. Wait... Arianna, Alyssa, Ava, Sydney, Angelina, and America! BOO-YA!! I can say all of the sisters, and I finished the book YESTERDAY, over twenty-four hours ago. Wow, I'm good.

Well, I'll let y'all get back to your lives.

Thanks for reading.

More News--I know, I like saying 'news' in my titles!

Hello, everybody (even though I haven't been getting any pageviews, so this is like saying hi to myself)!

Okay, so I've finished a lot of books, but I don't really feel like telling you about them since it's getting a bit late. I also can't really talk to them because I finished, like, 6 yesterday, and I can't remember their names. They were good, though.

Anyways, I do want to talk about a tv show, Doctor Who. I know, I know, I'm obsessed with it a bit right now. I watched if for over 8 hours today, since I didn't have school. It was FANTASTIC!!!!
I wish I had the Doctor's intellegence, but he does kind of scare me sometimes. In an episode I just watched--Season 4, Episode 16 (and don't ask me how I remembered that) he was kind of freaky. It was the first time I'd ever seen the Doctor so...power crazy. He wasn't following his own rules; he changed a time that was fixed, and...I've never seen him like that. At least he immediately realized what he'd just done, what he'd just said, and he was normal again.
I would love to be the Doctor's companion. I would get to travel anywhere, to any time. I could see any planet or any star. I would get to help people, just like he does. I would do it in a second.

Okay, I'm exhausted. I think I'm going to go to bed.

Goodnight.

Thanks for reading--if you're even viewing this.

Please, visit the site again. I need the views.

Bye.

Awesome News Everyone!

Hey! Sorry for the extended absence, but I've been reading a lot. And writing a lot, too. I have to do a ton of stuff for this Language Arts fair, and the deadline is in a month.

The news, of course, is about books. I looked at free teen ebooks on barnsandnoble.com and downloaded, like, fifteen free books.

So, here's some cool reviews and overviews from yours truly.

First up, Elemental: The First by Alexandra May.
I loved this book! And, to make it even better (and weirder to read) it was written by a British author! It takes place in England, in this small town that is notorious for the aliens that they believed lived there.
This girl, Rose Frost, is used to the constant moving. What is new about this next move is that she has to leave by herself. Her mother drops her off with her grandmother, Daisy, and leaves.
Rose has always been...different. She has a gift. She can heal people by great concentration and with the help of this silvery mist-like stuff that comes from her hands when she's doing it. But, along with healing, she can also kill things with that touch.
Now, she's having dreams of this warrior-like woman. Are they dreams...or visions?
That question is answered when they finally attack her, ready to destroy the last person with the gift.
And Aiden, is he good or evil? Is he with his grandfather or Rose?

If I had to rate the book, it would probably be a good, solid four stars. That's pretty good in my book.

Next...Dream Whispers by K.L. Bauman.
Kayde Harper is desperate for one thing, to make it to Canada; the place his grandpa lived once upon a time. Now that his grandpa is deceased, he wants nothing more than to escape Texas and see what was so great about Canada. That was before his motorcycle ran out of gas at the side of the road in the middle of a Montana snow-storm and he loses his wallet.
Becca just wanted to go into the city for just a minute, getting her friend a book he wanted at the library. But she neglected to check the weather. That was when she saw Kayde at the side of the road in all of his leather-jacket, bad-boy glory. She decides to help him out and take him into town.
Kayde is forced to stay in Montana for a month, his father's punishment for him losing his wallet.
That's what frightened Kayde the most, not getting to Canada and escaping the dark music constantly playing in his head, wanting to be released. He has the ability to make people do anything he wants when he sings, and these dark songs haunt him, but if he releases them, people will get seriously hurt and maybe even die.
He becomes acquainted with Becca a little more, and they soon fall for each other hard. That is, until Kayde loses it and releases a dark song, almost killing Becca accidentally. He ended up dying because of this stupid mistake, and Becca loses a few months of her life, in her memory. When she wakes up at the hospital a few days after the accident, she doesn't remember Kayde at all.
But he remembers her. He's now a ghost, an invisible ghost. One that can't be seen or heard at all.
What happens now? Will Rabecca ever remember Kayde? Who is sending her these strange clues of a Kayde Harper? What is a music mage?
Is Kayde really dead?

I give this a full five stars. I loved this book. It was practically impossible to put down! Being a music lover, I liked Kayde's power a lot. I also liked his determination; he wasn't going to let his dark gift overcome him and make him do something he'd regret.

Lastly, Eternal Eden by Nicole Williams.
Bryn Dawson recently transferred from Stanford to OSU (Oregon State University) for the middle of her sophomore year in college. That was when she met William Winters, a transfer student.
Being forced to give this new rich kid a tour of the campus on a Friday night, she is anything but happy. All she wanted to do was get through school without getting noticed. If she wasn't noticed, no one would find out about her past...about her parents and how it was her fault that they died.
Right when she sees him, she feels this attraction to him. She doesn't want to, but she does. The first time he touches her arm, she feels this electricity between their skin, like fate was entwining their destinies.
Mysterious, charming, and protective as William is, Bryn falls hard for him. Little did she know how long he'd searched for her, loving her, wanting to finally meet her.
After almost drowning and being saved by William, she's changed. She learns that there are two kinds of beings, Mortal and Immortal. She learns Williams hard Immortal life that he'd lived and how all of his sanity and hope came from a vision of one girl...her. She learns about all of the strange laws for the Immortals, and finds that she has to keep her relationship with William a secret, or else they could both pay a terrible price.
But things can only go on for so long before they're caught together.
Will Bryn and William both die for love? Or will just one of them die?

I think this was my favorite out of the three I've talked about today. This one is six stars out of five. I just LOVED this one! William is the perfect knight in shining armor, and I love Bryn's character. She's a fighter. She's determined not to let William get hurt, even if it means that they can't be together. She refuses to leave with him, knowing they'd kill him if they'd ever been found. I also like William, a lot. He does make some mistakes, but who doesn't? He's just worried about the girl he'd loved for over two hundred years.

Anyways, that's it for me. Sorry for the long post, I had a lot to catch up on. That wasn't even all of the one's I'd read. The other two were really short--less than thirty Nook pages each.

Thanks for reading.

Stay geeky.

List of Books I Finished

Hey everybody!

So, I'm sorry about not being on as much. I've been reading and writing stuff for my Creative Writing class at school.

Okay, first on the list of books I finished, Defiance by Shelly Crane.
This is the third book of the Significance series, and this one begins with Maggie and Caleb at the Reunification meeting. Marla continues her dirty tricks and tries to get the council against them, since she was sooo jealous that Maggie is the Visionary.
ANYWAYS, this probably doesn't make any sense. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then read my previous posts about the first two books--Significance and Accordance.
Okay, now that you understand....
I liked this one. I really, really did. The imprints are all coming back, surprises are around every corner, there is a ton of action, and more surprises and action! I will say this one was good, but I can't say it was better than the other two. They were both really good, this one was also good, but I don't know...It's a tie between the first two on the ones I liked the most.

Now, second on the list is Independence by Shelly Crane.
Yes, this is the forth and final book in the Significance series.
This one is mostly about Maggie and Caleb's wedding! It was awesome! There were also a lot of surprises, and some mystery, in this one but it was different than the others. Marcus and the rest of the Watsons are gone...or are they? Then Caleb gets a dream about Maggie dying from a bullet--dying right in his arms. Is it a dream, or did he borrow Maggie's ability in his sleep and see a vision of the future? Did he marry Maggie just to see her die?
But, that can't be possible--when they imprinted, Caleb saw the visions that were farther off. Some of them hadn't happened yet.
But the future is never set in stone.

I thought this one was amazing! I was all...WOW! I loved the wedding and Jen and Maggie and Caleb and Fiona and Bish and Kyle and Lynne and Jim and Gran and Peter and Rachel...and more people. I just loved that the action and mystery didn't ever stop, and just because Maggie and Caleb are married does NOT mean that things are going to be simple and easy. No, that never happens with Maggie. She always gets challenging and life-threatening.

Next on that list...Blank Confession and I don't know the author.
Shayne goes into the police station, turning himself in for murdering someone.
The story goes from Shayne telling the story to it going to the first person POV of Mikey, and then it will go back to third-person of Shayne talking.
Who did he kill? How did Shayne--who is a sixteen year old that looks twelve--kill someone? What is he hiding?
To answer these questions, there is a simple answer. I don't know. I haven't finished the book yet.
I will say that it's good, even though I haven't finished it.

Okay, that's pretty much it for me right now. I'll tell you really quickly that I am rere....(infinity amount of re's)...reading the Lux series since it has been two months since I've read them all. I know--that's such a long time!!!!
I'm trying to fit all of them into one weekend, along with finishing Blank Confession. I don't think I can do it, but I'm sure going to try.

Thanks for tuning in.

Let the geek inside out.

I've Finished More Books, So More Reviews and Overviews

Howdy y'all!!! Okay, I apologize for that. It won't happen again.

I finished some books today and yesterday, 2 to be exact, so bear with me here.

First up, Rogue Wave by Christie Anderson--I think that's the author, but I might be a tad confused.
This was the second book in the Water Keepers series, and I think this one was better than the first. Don't get me wrong, I liked the first one, it's just...Rayne and Sadie were finally together in this one. Well, actually, they "broke up" but they made up and it was incredible!!!! They actually kissed in this book! I was like "FINALLY!!!" and everything.
Okay, if you've been reading my blog regularly, you would realize that I talked about this exact book in my last post, but the difference is (just so you know) that I actually finished it so I can say how the ending made me feel. The end was so...awesome. Just awesome. I love Rayne--he is now on my mental list of my book-crushes--which is now very extensive. I read a lot--cut me a break!

Okay, the second book is Breathe by Abbi Glines.
 
 
I will say I have read this author's stuff before--with the Existence trilogy--and I was kind of cautious before reading this one. I will say I have nothing against this author...it's just I'm only fourteen and some stuff is a little too much.
I did really like this book--thanks Grace--I really, really, really,REALLY liked this book.
Sadie White is just trying to get through the summer working at a someone's summer mansion. She's seventeen and her mother is pregnant, forcing Sadie to go to her job in her place. So, it's up to Sadie to make sure there is food and the bill's been paid. Later, she realizes that the house she is cleaning and working at is the summer home of Jax Stone--teen hearthrob rockstar. She immediately is cautious around him, not wanting to get fired for simply being a teenage girl. Turns out, he gets a little too interested in her. He starts talking to her and tries to stay away from her because he knows that he could never be more than friends with her--like he really wants to be. He knows that he would have to leave her in September. But he couldn't stop himself from falling, and neither could she.
I know, all romance and stuff, but I don't know...I have a thing for books with rockers. It reminded me a little of one of my favorite books of all time--Rock and a Hard Place.
 
Okay, I gotta go--my little brother keeps buggin me about watching Doctor Who, so I've gotta run before I get so annoyed that I start screaming at him to shut up.

Bye!
 
Thanks for tuning in.
 
 
Let out your inner geekiness--we all have some.

Exciting Updates (Wel...Exciting in my perspective)

Hey everyone!

So...I've finished a lot of books recently, so this might be a long-ish post--just warning you.
I've read a lot, so here we go!! These are the exciting book updates:

First on the list... Do Over by Emily Evans.
I enjoyed this one--it was very entertaining. It was a little bit annoying at some parts--since I'm not really a girly-girl and they were talking about clothes and hair and prom. But I did in fact like Trey.
Anyways. Do Over was about this girl--Paisley--who is the leader of the prom committee (aka Sparkle) and they'd raised $50,000 for the senior prom. The football players and her dad (the coach) took the money without her conscent and spent it on a Jumbotron. So, she has to pick up the pieces and try to make the best prom ever. It's all she can focus on because she thought it was the way she could get her parents together. During the book, you get to see her and Trey--a jock from the school--grow closer into almost-friends. He isn't a dumb jock, but he is the kind of guy that has a different girlfriend everyweek, and sometimes goes to a party with one girl and leaves with another. He's that kind of guy. I don't know though...I liked him. He never really gave up, never really relied on anyone. He liked doing things himself.
I would give the book four stars. I liked it, all things considered. It's not really my kind of book, but I liked it. I also liked Paisley's dad's girlfriend Aster. I know I should hate her, since she was her dad's girlfriend, but she was so cooooolll!!!!



Second, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I won't say who it's by, since everyone knows that book.
I never finished it. I barely even started it. Bailey took it back, since she needed it for a Literary thingy in Creative Writing. That is all I have to say about it.


Third, Rogue Wave by Christie Anderson.
I am only a third of the way through it, but it is really good so far. It's the second book in the Water Keepers series, which I meantioned several times over my Christmas Break posts. This one is amazing so far! Rayne and Sadie kissed!!!!! I was all "FINALLY!!!" It was wayyyyyy overdue. They hadn't kissed at all in the first book, even though they were bonded. I don't know...This one is interesting. Sadie has to have the Healing Water every 24 hours to survive, or else she can't control her emotions and passes out. Rayne is in charge of protecting her, keeping an eye on her, and giving her the daily doses of Healing Water. That being said, he didn't use any on himself--he can go a few weeks without dosing himself, but he still needs it. He waited until he was practically empty, using it all on Sadie. Then, when he was supposed to get more, it was stolen. Yep, that's as far as I am. It reveals some more things about Voss and Ash (father and son guys that were villians in the last book. Except Ash helped Rayne and then regretted it, since his father almost died because of it). You also learn that if you get involved, then you can't get out of it. Someone close to Sadie's mom got involved, and Sadie found out, and I was like "What the heck?" and thinking about how crazy that was.
 
 
 
Yeah, I think y'all have had enough for one night. I will give you my current reading list for the weekend.
  1. Rogue Wave by Christie Anderson
  2. Breathe by Abbi Glines
  3. The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
  4. Defiance by Shelly Crane
  5. Independence by Shelly Crane
I probably won't get to the last two, but I'm hoping to get through at least #3.
 
Thanks for reading!
 
Bye.
 
 
GEEKS FOREVER....UNITE!!!!

News, News, Random News That Come Straight From My Freaking Out Brain!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone! Did ya miss me?! I doubt it, since y'all aren't viewing! Come ON people!

I'm just kidding. Yes, I wish my blog was more popular, but what can you expect from a socially rejected nerd geek that lives in the middle of freakin nowhere!? Yeah, I didn't expect much.

For those of you who ARE looking at this... I did finish Matched...I don't know who the author is and I'm too lazy to look it up, so deal with it. And it's a best-seller, so you probably know the trilogy...Matched, Cross, and Reached.
Anyways, I didn't really like it all that much. I have absolutely nothing against people who DID enjoy it, I'm just saying it's not really the book for me. I'm more of an action with a little romance kind of gal--it HAS to have some action.
Reasons I didn't really like Matched:
  1. It didn't have action.
  2. It was a love triangle--which I don't really like. I did read Twilight and The Hunger Games and enjoyed both of them, but I knew who was going to end up with the girl in both of those. I don't like it when they just CAN'T decide, because they're in love with both! I just hate it. Some girls don't get one guy, but girls in books get BOTH guys?
  3. It kind of dragged on for me.
  4. It was repetitive.
  5. I had a ton of other stuff to read, but I had to read this one. It kept me from reading a book that I've been DYING to get. I know it's not Matched's fault, but STILL *I scream in a whiny voice*!!!!!
Yep, those are the reasons. I did enjoy parts of it, though. I did enjoy the futuristic thing, but even that was a bit extreme. I would give this book 3 stars.

On to other stuff....
Right now, if I had to rate myself on a scale of 8 to 14 on how crazy I am with 8 being my normal self and 14 being to ALMOST Bailey's level, I would rate myself at a freakin 13.8! Yesterday, I forgot to turn in my Algebra homework until the end of the hour! That might not be a big deal to you, but think about it...that is a week's worth of work, since we turn in all of our homework from the last week on the day after the weekend. If we don't turn in our homework before the tardy bell starting class, we lose half credit! It's like I didn't turn in 3 days worth of assignments.
And then all of this other stuff has happened and I just can't focus on anything. I feel like I'm just losing it.
Right now, I get about 8 hours of sleep...Why am I still tired? Every second I'm tired. I just...don't know what's going on. I am really stressed, and I know that makes you more tired, but I'm sleeping! And I can't remember anything from the day before. I'm just lost on everything. If you ask me what happened yesterday morning or what today's date is, I wouldn't be able to answer! It sucks.

Okay, I'm done with freaking out via internet. How's your day going?

Richie is bugging me about watching Doctor Who, but I can't. HE WON'T STOP BUGGING ME! WHY!? DOESN'T HE SEE THAT I'M ALREADY STRESSED AND FREAKING OUT!!!!

And someone from my past said hi to me in the hallway today. Why? I don't want to talk to him. I don't even remember what we disagreed about a long time ago, but seriously...he just does that to annoy me and I have HAD IT!

This is getting really long. I'm sorry. For those of you who made it this far....

More Book Reviews and More Contemplation on Random Things from my mind...

Hey y'alls! It's been a few days.

Sorry, I've been reading a lot, and finishing a lot of books, but I've been to busy to review them.

First, I will start off with talking about Guardian by S.B. idk the last name of the author, so deal with it.
It was good--all things considered. It was a little confusing, but I caught on. The ending made me mad, though.
In the end, something happens to Gabe, Abby finds out about the angels and demons--right at the end--Raph tries to save Gabe. 1) You don't know if Raph succeeds. 2) She finds out right at the end that she isn't human. 3) It never tells you what  she is. She isn't a demon, human, or angel. What is she? The whole book was about angels protecting her because she isn't human! Those were the problems I had with it. The climax was the end and there was no resolution--that bugs me when books do that.

Second book I finished... Accordance by Shelly Crane (I think that's the author--I'm about 92% sure. I've been reading a lot, so I could be confused. I'm pretty sure it's Shelly Crane)
Click HERE! if you never read that post. It is confusing if you don't read it first.
I liked it. It is the second book in the Significance series--which I talked about at the end of December about how amazing it was. This book didn't have as much action as I would have liked--or much conflict with outside characters. This one was Maggie dealing with her brother Bish--how he knows she's lying about things but she won't tell him what's going on for real. There is also conflict with Kyle--who is Caleb's cousin, he was in love with Maggie but can't be with her since she's Caleb's significant. Also, there is conflict with Caleb--himself. He doesn't know what his ability is yet (but you find out what it is in this book--if he has one, I'm not going to give you that definite answer.)
There is still conflict with Sikes, but that's in the end, and a little bit of annoyance from Marcus at the beginning. Marla--Marcus's sister--is in this one.
I am definitely going to continue the series. It's weird to think that in the second book, Caleb and Maggie had only known each other for 2 weeks--TWO WEEKS. It feels like they've known each other for months. Caleb almost proposes in this book--key word being almost (he was interrupted by Kyle) but Maggie still answers, so...all is well. TWO WEEKS!!!

Book #3: First Love by........
I hated this book. I thought the beginning was fine--good enough to buy for $2--but then in the middle and end...it was terrible. I will just say it was not meant for people under the age of...I don't know. Not for 15 and below maybe? It had some inappropriate material in it. BAD!!! I was really disappointed since I was kind of wanting to read it to find out what happens with Eric and Emily, but I didn't really enjoy it. It was terrible. Just...don't read it. Please! I give it 1 star! I DIDN'T LIKE IT!

I have more books to review, but this is getting really long...so...

That's it for me, folks.

Thanks for tuning in.
Stay nerdy.
Peace out

Update

Hey everyone!

I am still currently reading Guardian--I'm just dragging it out a bit since a lot of stuff is going on right now. It is at its climax, so I'm excited.

I finished the first season of Doctor Who! I was so sad when the 9th doctor died! I will miss him--I loved his grin the best. I like the 11th doctor's hair the best, and I like the 10th's basic crazy look. I think if they are one of the doctors, there has to be a crazy factor. I think the 9th, 10th, and 11th doctors had that down perfectly--that's why I love the show.

I have not began reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower yet, even though Bailey really wants me to. One thing at a time is what I say. I'm watching Doctor Who and reading Guardians--that's already two things, I don't think I can take any more than that.

Yep, that's the update.

Thanks for tuning in!
Stay geeky.

Random Awesomeness From ME!

Hey everybody! How are you doing on this lovely day?

I am currently reading Guardian by S. B. something. It is really good, I enjoy it a lot. There are some things about it that are annoying, but other stuff is okay. The author is British--I think. I love that kind of stuff! They spell stuff so much cooler! And their pronunciations sound more....posh--I'll go with posh. I can NOT do a good British accent--I'm not too talented with that kind of thing.

Today, in my English class, we were talking about types of nonfiction. We then read a story that was actually a blog about the Mars rover Spirit. We talked a lot about the importance of having a journal, and that's what a blog is...a journal. The difference is blogs are online, everyone can see them, and they have the most recent first. I thought it was funny how we were talking about how important it is to journal and blog, and that's what I do practically every day.

By the way...I did put a question on my right sidebar--under the book covers. If you are on my blog, please answer it. It is just an opinion type of thing--there is no wrong answer.

Well, that's it for me!

Thank you for tuning in.
Stay geeky.

More Random and Spectacular News

Hey everyone!

I will go ahead and apologize for my extended absence, but I figured that if I did get on here, there is nothing really new to say, so why bore you? That was my thought on it all.

Right now, I am currently reading The Starter Boyfriend by someone that I can't remember. Usually, I don't read this stuff, but I thought it would be funny.
This girl, Courtney, works at Tux Everlasting, and has decided that her starter boyfriend is this mannequin that she named Tux--referring to the fact that he is wearing a tux *gasps in shock at that surprise*
Anyways, there is this surfer dude that is now her friend--Adam. I will say that I don't particularly like him--he's a little rude. But that is just an opinion. BACK TO THE BOOK! (Sorry)
Okay, Courtney is driving with Tux in her passenger seat--which was just plain stupid since he's not hers--and she gets out for a minute. When she comes back--shocker--Tux is gone. Adam helps her find him--I think, I haven't actually gotten that far yet.
I don't really like some of Courtney's personality either. She steals (or as she says, "temporarily borrows") a mannequin so she can drive. I don't really get her logic on that, but whatever. She says she no longer likes Adam, but she really does, you can tell. She is secretly dating a MANNEQUIN that she named TUX. I don't know, it just seems so...weird. She's a dork.
There is a lot of humor in it--for me at least...my sense of humor is different than most peoples'.

I also finished reading Twilight again. I know, why read that again, but I didn't really want to read any of my other books and it had been over a year since I'd last read it, so I thought Why not?

I also now have an obsession of Doctor Who--it is a tv show on Netflix. It is AWESOME! Like I said, weird sense of humor. I actually only watched the first episode to humor Bailey--who is even more obsessed than me or my brother. My sister thinks it's stupid, but she lies!
I'm still on the 9th doctor, and I've gotten a little attached to him. He's funny and can grin at the strangest situations. It's awesome. I also really like Rose, even though some of her choices are stupid--like hesitating when he asked her to come with him on an adventure of a lifetime--one filled with adventure, mystery, and danger. I would not hesitate for that. EVER!

Yep, there's the update. The news in the title was all of the above ^
I would just like to say...HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL! I had to announce that since I know you check my blog really frequently.  I wrote a poem...

Roses are blue
Violets are red
It is very true
That you're my friend!

(Yeah, it had nothing to do with your birthday, but I'm no good with poems. Just go with it.)

Here's one that I didn't write, but it's funny.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Some poems rhyme,
Others don't.

That one is epical.

I will now let you get back to your lives. I will add a cool link--Click here if you want to go to an elements of the periodic table game. It was entertaining to me.

Thanks for tuning in.
Bye.
Stay geeky--always.

Happy birthday,again, Rachel!

The Biggest Shocker Ever

Hey guys! What's up?

So, I have some news...
I finally have access to Throne of Glass by something Maas....anyways, I finally got it at the library, and I get home to read it and...I decided not to read it all.
Just so you know...I have nothing against the book or the author, it's just.....I waited months to read it and I think I just waited so long that it lost it's appeal to me. I just skimmed through it to find out which guy she ends up with and I was really disappointed in the end--because I liked the other guy.

Another thing--me and Bailey geeked out today. She wanted to go to Neverland, so we did, and it was awesome. Mostly, though, we just hung out. We watched two movies--Land of the Lost and Hackers. I hadn't ever seen Hackers, but it was pretty cool and funny. I own the other one, so I've seen it a lot.

I wish I would have read Rangers Apprentice, but (and don't kill me Rachel) I don't think I'm going to finish it either. That is the biggest shocker ever--me not finishing two books in one week.
I could get in to it, but it doesn't hold me as much as other books do. I'm also no good with all of the castles and midevil stuff--I like more modern stuff.
I just don't really see the point in reading about guards and knights and seeing names that I have no hope of pronouncing correctly. Again--nothing against it, it's just not really my thing. I can't focus when I'm reading it--I don't know what it is. Me and Rachel like some of the same books, but other stuff, like mid-evil and dragons--are her thing, and books that are more realistic are more my thing. We both do like some of the same paranormal romances *cough--lux series* and some other stuff.

Anyways, that's the update on all things me. I'm sorry again to Rachel--I haven't decided if I'm going to stop reading Ranger's Apprentice, I'm just not sure I'll finish it.

I guess I'll let you get back to your life, just like I need to get back to mine.

Thanks for tuning in.
Bye.
Stay geeky.
