If I Stay
3 of 5 stars
If I Stay
by Gayle Forman
I give this a three star because while this story was good and well written (regardless of the typos I ran into while reading), I just cant condone swearing the F-word. This went way beyond my three-strikes-your-out rule, I was so invested...
A Swift Pure Cry

A Swift Pure Cry
by Siobhan Dowd
Based on the description on the back of this book, the actual plot surprised me. I think I like it that way, so I'll keep from spoiling it and just let you read it to see what you think. Very different story then I was prepared for.

So I might appear on the local news, which is weird and cool at the same time. And here's the poem I wrote: Destruction of a Library World of Words, Their time is ending. On the shelves they sigh a bitter sigh. Why should people cry? Only words on paper Behind brick walls Why do I sigh, This humble cry? Why do the words mean so much to me? How can people not feel what I feel? About an old building that smells like old paste That binds together beautiful words In the arms of ancient paper Old

Today = A Week

Well, it's the 7th of December. So I guess this would be an exact week since my last post. Nothing much to say, I'm working a little on one of my new ideas for a story. It's an interesting tale, but I'm not comfortable telling it just now, so you'll just have to wait. ;) I'm thinking about making gifts for Christmas. Don't know what I'm going to make though.

A new book

Today I bought The Host by Stephenie Meyer . Me and my mom bought it together, it was 25% off at Fred Meyer. I'll be reading it soon, and I'll tell how I like it.
