-I found it funny how M re-read Keeping the Moon because I'm currently re-reading it. We're such hardcore fans haha :)
-I find it hard to believe that M re-read Dreamland though. Okay, not entirely (I mean seriously, it's a Dessen book). However, every time I think about the book it opens a new can of pure rage. I just hated how weak the main character was. Yes, I do realize that he was manipulating her to think that he was only hitting her because he loved her and blah blah. I just can't approve of a girl letting herself being a guy's personal punching bag. I mean it's one thing if you're too scared to do anything. I can understand that, but just letting him hit you repeatedly? No, not going to fly. Oh my goodness and if a guy hit one of my friends? He would go missing, just saying. Okay I'm going to end my rant here.
Tanner Patrick:
I am currently listening to his cover of Ours (original by Taylor Swift). Tanner has an amazing voice and does awesome covers of a lot of my favorite songs (that are known to most people). Oh and it doesn't hurt that he's extremely attractive (he has gorgeous eyes. Like seriously they're flipping beautiful). If you haven't heard any off his covers then let me help you with that: Tanner Patrick's cover of "Paradise"
SUMMER TIME!:
Like most people I'm super pumped that it's summer time. Yet, I can admit that in a few weeks I'll probably be bored out of my mind and wish I was in school just so I could have something to do. However, I do have more plans than usual for this summer. I'll just list them out for ya:
1. Summer bucket list with a group of friends
2. Movie nights/sleepovers
3. Reading :D
4. Running
5. THE ZOO (I know this may sound like I'm five, but whatever I don't care. I have this really strong urge to go to the zoo. I haven't been in forever and I really want to go...preferably on a day where its not so hot to point where you feel like you're going to pass out).
6. Water balloon/water gun fight
7. Flashlight tag
8. More running
9. Eating
10. Visiting University of Chicago
11. New York (possibly)
12. Other stuff I'm too lazy to list so I'm just going to stop here
Book Related STUFFS:
- I have a new book picked out for the next book swap with M (after she finishes the one from last time :) ). I think she'll like it for reasons that I will go into details for when it's time for the next book swap
- Much A Do About Nothing (by Shakespeare)- we were required to read it for English. I'm starting to realize that I only enjoy the comedy parts of Shakespeare's plays. Other than that, I hate them. I know he's one of the greatest writers and what not, but I just don't really care for his plays much. However, I do enjoy his poems. Especially the ones about the Dark Lady. Mainly because throughout the whole play he is giving her a backhanded compliment. It's quite hilarious. He's basically saying "You're ugly, you smell, there's nothing special about you, but HEY! I love you" Haha, I just think its funny.
- My brother is getting me like three or four books as a very belated birthday present and I'm extremely excited!!! :)
- Two Way Street (mentioned in M's last post)- I thought it was funny that M read it & enjoyed it because that was going to be one of the books I was going to give her for one of our book swaps! At least I know she would have liked it.
- Leap Day by Wendy Mass- This is the book I received from M during our last swap. I think it was a pretty cool book. It's about this girl, Josie, and her birthday is on leap day (which the book took place on). However, what's different about this book is that every other chapter is told from everyone else's perspective. You get to see into the mind of all these different characters which put a cool twist on everything. While I enjoyed the book I give it a 3/5. I shall list my reasoning below
2. I never really connected with Josie throughout the whole book
3. I liked how I got to see into the mind of other characters, but Mass didn't do a good job of elaborating. She left out stuff about the character that would be interesting to know. Go big or go home *shrugs*
4. I wasn't satisfied with the ending of the book. It just sort of ended. I mean there was a bit of closure, but nothing that just blows you away.
So that is why it only received three stars from me.
- Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter- I finally got around to reading this book last week (I got it over spring break...sad I know) and I still haven't decided how I feel about it. While it was pretty good, it was definitely not the best out of the Gallagher Girl series. I'll just let you guys read it and come to your on conclusion on the book.
I love music. I mean more than the average. I wouldn't say I'm quite on Owen's level (M you better get that or I may have to disown you), but I think I'm getting there. Music is just such a beautiful thing. Right now my iTunes is on shuffle and Fifteen by Taylor Swift is playing...not exactly what I'm in the mood to hear, but I'll go with it.
Okaie doks, that's all for now my loves. ADIOS!
