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.

A Dog's Purpose

"Anyone who has ever loved a dog needs to read this wise, touching, often hilarious novel." - Dr. Marty Becker, veterinarian on Good Morning America

Summer fly was buzzin' . . .

At long last, Oregon has decided it's time for summer. Or it at least thinks it should be warmer. Oregon has strange weather. Yesterday I went on a hike at a local trail and it was nice. There was a lot of bright flowers, and a beautiful waterfall. I'll post some pictures soon, along with some others I've taken recently. My photography class is officially over, and so I have nothing I can tell people so they don't think I'm some lazy bum. (Which is true, but people don't need to know that.) So that's all, I just thought I should make a post, I haven't done it in a while.

Now The Parties Over, But Don't Abandon Ship Just Yet

I don't know how many have been following my 365 photo challenge, but it is finito!  So does that mean the end of my blog? Nah.  I'll still be around, here are a few things you might be seeing in the near future. Instead of a daily photo, I hope to bring you the best photos of the week, month.  Anyway you look at it, there will be photos. Do you ever wonder what all those functions are for on your camera?  I've come across many people who don't know how to use their cameras beyond AUTO.  Thus I will be debuting "Stepping out of the Little Green Box".  Each post will focus on one feature, so you can learn without getting data overload.  I'll keep it interesting and short, because let's face it. In this day and age, we want out information short and sweet. Do you have any suggestions, questions?  Put a comment down below and I'll answer you.

It's coming, just two day left . . .

The world of NANOWRIMO is about to unfold. It will be my second try, and hopefully I'll do better then I did in 2007. Here is my potential story I'm going to work on. Summary: A friend with a passion for science has developed an unheard of feat, a time machine. That's right, H. G. Wells for reals. Nadie volunteers for the job of a lifetime. The first person to travel through time. Numbered among other great explorers such as Lewis and Clark. With Regency Era England as her destination, will Nadie keep suspicion from the curious eyes? And . . . when a realization comes, will she be able to make the right choice?
