Do you remember when M said we would be having a book swap once a month? No? Well she said it in the post right below silly goose. Keep up with the trend! Well today is that day. BOOK SWAP DAY!!!!!!!!
Seeing as how we are in the computer lab at our public library and it seems socially unacceptable to talk, we are going to be responding back and forth as a conversation to explain our book swap selections. And so it begins...
Why hello there M! I didn't see you, hahaha yeah. Yes that was my lame attempt to make a joke...just laugh and go with it. Anyways the joke I have selected for you is *insert silent drum roll-hey we're in a library!* ................ When It Happens by Susane Colasanti (I always feel like I spell her last name wrong...huh oh well).
This looks well um...interesting from the cover, but ive always been admonished for judging by that, so instead i'll just smile and nod :) The book i have for you, is one that i'm very glad you will be reading during the winter when it's cold because it takes place in Minnesota and the book revolves around snow. Too bad we don't have any of that here...just cold weather (as we experienced on the walk over here.) *another silent drum roll-we're STILL in the library*...................Icing on the Lake by Catherine Clark. I thought i had already written about it in a former posting, seeing as how i've read it twice now, but upon looking, i guess not.
Icing on the Lake looks...interesting. Haha, I kind of just wanted to copy what M said. What can I say? She's a trend setter ;) However, in all seriousness this does seem like a pretty good read. On the cover, under the title, it says "Cold feet, and hands, and ears...but warm hearts." I must admit I am a sucker for the romance genre. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (if you were here you would be able to see the lovely face I just made while typing that). That's very true...her face was welll....lovely sure. See? M agrees that I made a lovely face :D It's just how I roll. Anywho (hehe I love saying that).....I forgot what I was going to type.....let's just throw it over to M
Ah so i have to be the scapegoat? i see how this is...not cool. whatever, i'm sure i'll get over it. sooner or later. within the next ten years. i hope. sure. well, moving on...I picked Icing on the Lake because of the part of me that, like K, loves romance novels. I'm a sucker for cheesy lines and chick flicks, what can i say? Basically this book is rather predictable, but worthwhile. (there's someone sighing loudly in this room and its rather hilarious...*M and K hold in giggles* just thought you should know...) back to what i was saying. Kirsten, the main character goes to Minnesota to stay with her sister and nephew for a couple weeks and soon gets to know some of the local boys and well, you know, i can't tell you the ENTIRE plotline. that's the point of lending you the book: so you can read it. also, when we finish reading each others books and meet for our next book swap, we will post again and share our opinions of said books. i just hope K likes it as much as i did. i mean i bought it, didn't i? thats saying something for me. the library gets my business 9 times out of 10, not the bookstore. And CUT!
I'm not quite sure if M saw the pointed look I gave her when she stopped talking about the plot, but oh! Believe me, it was there!!! Okaie doks, now on to talking about When It Happens. See, thing is, I can't....Well I can, but I won't....not really at least (hehe M just gave a frustrated *silent* sigh unlike the person over there who is being rather disruptive...) Okay here's what I can tell you:
1. The book is in two alternating points of views (Tobey & Sara)
2. It is in fact a romance book *insert my lovey dovey face here*
3. I just realized that we both chose romance books the day before V-Day *mind has just been blown!*
4. I enjoyed this book very much so. I mean how could I not? However, I must admit I got a little frustrated when....you'll see ;)
5. Oh! Oh! There's a really funny, but rather awkward part that I wish I could see your face when you read it....I would say videotape yourself while you're reading it, but that's just weird...and would take forever.
Well, I didn't give much info. to M, but hey you gotta love me <3
yeah, yeah, yeah. supposedly that sisterly love is there. we'll see as i start reading the book. and no, i will not videotape myself. you would get like 3 hours of me staring intently at a book, occasionally turning a page. it would be A) super boring and B) really disturbing for you to watch. it's like disturbia or something. oh and i must say that the likelihood of both of us choosing romance books was pretty great to begin with. regardless of the fact that tomorrow is a national holiday that neither of us (as far as i know, at least) will be participating in. just saying. anyway, that's about all i've got. i can literally feel the good ideas draining from my brain...a slow drip...i feel like a heart moniter is beeping somewhere about to level off....beep.......beep.....................................
It's not nice to write funny stuff that I cannot laugh out loud at! *pointed look*
Don't deny the love!
I think we're going to have to agree to agree on that one, the whole videotaping thing (haha, see what I did there? No? Oh, well then nevermind....)
Yeah, I will not be participating in the festivites tomorrow mainly because I have never been a big fan of the holiday...I mean they jack up the prices on candy (and I have a mean sweet tooth that needs to be tended to, but I'm a cheapskate so...) and flowers!!! Just saying...anywho, the only thing I did for the "special" (you should be able to hear the sarcasm leaking from my voice...like seriously...kind of hard to miss) day is buy carnations at school for a few friends and that's only because they threatened my life if I didn't (I like living so I spent the buck fifty on it). So um.....yeah I think I'm out of topics to talk about here....how depressing. I guess this is a wrap on M and I's first book swap *cue the applause*
