Finals and Other News

Wow, its been a while since I posted anything. Sorry about that...

So anyway, two finals down, two to go! Luckily one of my English finals was due weeks ago so I don't have to worry about it now. And I finished my Journalism final and turned it in on Monday.

Now all that's left is another English paper and a Greek final on Friday (that one is just not going to go well no matter what but its ok because I don't need the class).

I should probably be working on those right now but instead I'm informing you that I need to be working on them... 0.o...

I have one book to report on:

The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks

I'm continuing with my Sparks fetish and this was a good one to end the semester with. There was some suspense, of course a good love story and dead people! I've always thought that a book is not really all that good if there are no dead people. That probably comes from my love of Mary Higgins Clark where theres always at least one dead person if not several. Anyway, good book with a nice vengeful ending that made me smile.

In other news:
I was watching a B20 video when John mentioned the fact that NBC is bringing back American Gladiators. This is probably due to the writers strike and lack of new material but seriously people, American Gladiators? Really? Are you serious? Please tell me you're kidding! You're not? Oh man, thats just wrong...

In other, other news:
I'm coming home in on Monday!!!!!!! That's only 5 days from now... AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya, I'm pretty excited. I still have finals to finish, presents to buy and wrap, a room (and desk) to clean, laundry to do and a suitcase to pack. Should prove to be fun.

The End

More Books!

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

My SIGNED copy of the book. I didn't finish it until after he signed it but thats not the point. The book was funny and different but definitely written for young adults. It was a nice, relaxing and humorous read that did point out a lot of issues that teenagers deal with. It was good times.

The Anastasia Syndrome by Mary Higgins Clark

I have always loved Mary Higgins Clark and this was another good one. Its a novella so it only took about four hours to listen to and the ending was well worth it. I can't tell you what happened, you just have to read it (or listen to it).

True Believer by Nicholas Sparks

Nicholas Sparks never fails in making me cry (or at least tear). This was no exception.

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

This was a very different kind of book that I did enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I know that there isn't a lot of description but I don't have too much time. All were good books that I would recommend anyone who may be interested in them.

Go books!

Books, Books, Books! On tape...

Because I have an hour long drive to school and then another hour long drive on the way home, I decided to start listening to audio books during the drive.

Luckily, Heritage Library in Providence Forge, about fifteen minutes from Grandmama's and on my way to school, has a very good selection of audio books. I was seriously impressed. They have more audio books in this little library then they do in Escondido in our rather large library.

So I took advantage of it and have been through three books and am on my fourth since last Monday.

I started with A Mt. Vernon Love Story by Mary Higgins Clark

Mary Higgins Clark has done it again! This was different from the murder mysteries, obviously. A very good love story that wasn't completely mushy.

Then The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

I cried. This book was excellent. I have also read For One More Day by Mitch Albom and it was good. Five People was amazing.

Next was The Widow of the South by Robert Hicks

At first, I was freaked out. The story was a little strange. As it on, though, I fell in love. Honestly, I don't think I would have liked this book or even finished it if I hadn't been listening to it. The voices of the characters, especially Zachariah Cashwell, made the story more real and interesting. And the fact that it was based on a true story helped too.
