I’m finally delving into the world of American presidents. I just bought “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln” which, based on the reviews, is supposed to be amazing!
I’m also rereading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I just bought tickets to a midnight screening.
I MUST MUST MUST read: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing by M.T. Anderson. I actually took it out once but never got around to reading it. It’s told in the point of view of a young slave boy during the American Revolution. It won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature last year. The second one is also considered an absolute literary triumph: Volume II: The Kingdom on the Waves.
I’m looking forward to it. I’m a really big fan of children’s and young adult literature. Thus my great enthusiasm for John Green and the writing genius that is Markus Zusak who wrote I am the Messenger - one of the most amazing books I have ever read!
If you don’t check out the Vlogbrothers, you’re missing out. And if you haven’t read anything by John Green, I can’t even look at you.
On the latest vlog, John Green quoted 50 Famous Last Words in under 4 minutes. He makes history so sexy! DFTBA!
Yes, much like the female teenage population of the U.S., I FRACKING LOVE EDWARD CULLEN. Damn right!
I finished BREAKING DAWN in oh, 15 hours? word for word
AND IT IS SO SO SO SO……O-M-G! It was extremely surreal and odd but I don’t know, it was intriguing, and also, creative but…I didn’t gain immense satisfaction in its plot twists. Read it for yourself – I’m just glad for the “Happily Ever After”
Is Barack Obama too skinny to be president?
Have ya’ll seen the man? He’s so fit! Yes, I too, have a crush on Obama
to read amazing books this summer. Books of all authors, decades and genres.
Just completed Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It was totally kickass. I like stories about awesome protagonists and happy endings. Books are really the only place to find stories like that.
I’m really not in search of any Great Perhaps. Yet.
I just finished this ridiculously awesome novel entitled Looking for Alaska by the brilliant John Green. It’s about a boy named Miles aka Pudge who is obsessed with last words. It’s his first year at Culver Creek Boarding School and he meets a beautiful, self-destructive and mysterious girl called Alaska. He falls completely in love with her but somewhere along his story, an event changes the life of Pudge and everyone he’s become close with. It’s from this novel that I got the idea of a Great Perhaps. Apparently, they were the last words of French Renaissance writer, François Rabelais: “I go to seek a Great Perhaps.”
I hope who ever is not reading this wishes me luck on my first blogging endeavor. Perhaps I will enjoy it after all.
