The statement above is basically a summary of how my summer has been so far. Pretty much just sitting around, rereading everything in the house. I got a couple of new books today though. Some quick reads from the cheesy teen series' I'm addicted to, The Color of Water, and a guitar how-to book. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out. I looked for Janet Fitch's novel White Oleander, but sadly, borders didn't have any copies. White Oleander is by far one of my favorite movies. The acting is phenomenal (probably due to its insane cast of Alison Lohman, Michelle Pfieffer, Robin Wright Penn, and Renee Zelwieger) (pardon my botched spelling. It's midnight) and the cinematography and camera work is absolutely stellar. Another good book to check out (probably girls. It's quite a girly novel) is Twilight. It's a series about a teen girl who falls in love with a very attractive, very charming vampire. Don't be fooled, the books are thourghly addicting. Another interesting read from this year was The Rules of Survival. I read it for a school project and I could NOT put it down. I also really enjoyed My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It was amazing. The Lovely Bones is also one of my favorite books, ranking with Stargirl by Jerri Spinelli, The Secret Life of Bees, Of Mice and Men, and of course, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. The Bell Jar was such an interesting book. There were so many things in it that were cryptic I read it over and over last year and I can't wait to get my own copy. Some of my favorite authors are Nicholas Sparks and Sarah Dessen. Sarah Dessen's novels are set more for the teen set, but in my opinion anyone would enjoy them. Another book that was really intriguing (spelling? Remember that it's late) was Thirteen Reasons Why. Its a novel mostly told through the tapes that a girl left behind to send to the people responsible for the thirteen reasons why she committed suicide. It was a darker novel but I enjoyed it. I actually enjoy reading darker, more brooding novels than, omigod! puppies and bubblegum sunshine novels.
Well look at that, I just wrote a HUGE paragraph all about books. Shows what a book nerd I am :P. Oh well. I love books! But I also love music. I can't wait till the morning when I can grab my guitar and crack open my guitar book and start attempting to play! I started skimming it and it definately looks difficult, but I think with a little help from my guitar playing friends, I should be able to manage.
I tried posting pictures from the party, but my computer isn't cooperating with my mom's camera, so I'll get them up ASAP!
So thats all I can think of for now, except that August 1st is the Breaking Dawn release party at borders and I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! AHH! I'm dressing up as Rosalie (oh Breaking Dawn is the latest Twilight Novel!), but as Grease Monkey Rosalie, so I'm wearing jeans and a white tank top and we'll be covering it with like oil stains and I'm carrying a wrench to make it look as if I just worked on a car. hahah SO EXCITED!
Love and miss you all!
