Alot different than the movie. I liked the movie better.

3. Lost Encyclopedia 5/5

4. Chloe Doe 4.5/5

5. A Room on Lorelei Street 3.5/5
A bit repetitive. Yeah we know you want to live on your own. Yeah we know it is hard. Yeah we know your family is full of assholes. Move on.

6. For Keeps 4.5/5

7. Jerk, California 4/5

8. I Am The Messenger 4.5/5

9. Claiming Georgia Tate 2.5/5
Way to much religious junk, and definitely not realistic in the characters reactions to certain events.

10. Incantation 5/5
Really good book. You are finding out about the character and her secret past along with her.

11. Flipped 4/5

12. Just Like That 4/5
Very good. I liked the writing and the characters, but I thought the "problem" was stupid. And I didn't like the way Hanna talked to people. She was a little bratty.

13. Breathless 5/5
I loved this one. I read it in about a day. The writing was good, and the characters were very believable. Good book.

14. After 4.5/5
Pretty good. Quick read. Lots of technical legal terms and such and definitely a new storyline, but still very good.

15. Shakespeare Makes the Playoffs 4/5 Not bad, quick read

15. Out of the Dust 5/5 Read this in middle school and loved it then. Still love it now. Very quick read.

Before I Fall

I found this book on some random website and decided to try it out. I couldn't find it at the library in town so I had to put a hold on and it finally came in on Friday from Commerce Georgia.

From the start of the book I absolutely hated the main character. Seriously. She and her three friends sounded like spoiled brats with attitudes that didn't deserve the good things they constantly got.

Also from the first mention of Kent McFuller, I was in love. THat geeky boy sounded adorable and right up my alley. Over the course of the first day in the book, Sam describes a typical day for her, including humiliating as many people as possible. It all comes to a head when at a party Juliet, a girl Sam and her friends constantly torture, shows up at Kent's party. The resulting incident is pretty horrible. After Juliet leaves the party, Sam gets in a fight with Kent, a boy she has known since elementary school, but isnt really friends with anymore. Sam and her friends leave to party drunk and get in a wreck about 5 minutes later. And everything goes dark.

Sam wakes up the next day thinking it Saturday and the wreck wasnt so bad and she is just hungover. She quickly finds out that it is Friday again. Sam gets seven of these replay days and she is constantly fighting to get her life back and to change the course of events that ended her life.

Overall the book was amazing. I really felt for Sam by the end and wanted her and Kent to get together. But the ending just upsets me. I'm glad I read it, but wish it could end another way.

have i mentioned lately...

that i miss baseball. like desperately. and i cannot wait til this new season. my boys have made some changes that i am not so sure about, like getting rid of Omar and Matty. but nonetheless i am excited for april.

Weekend Review!

Crazy busy weekend!

Friday was the football game against Northside from Columbus. It was "playing for a cure night" so everybody was supposed to wear some pink. Sarah texted me about wearing our bunny ears, since they are pink and it was halloween-ish.

So of course Northside won. We also got to meet a dude in a gorilla suit. Who knows why?

After the game we head to my house and ride together to the police department haunted house. We got there, jumped on a hay ride, and paid. Then the waiting began.

We waited in line to get in the haunted place for about 45 minutes, while random people in costumes walked around. We went into the "house" with the couple in front of us. The guy got seperated from the girl and she and I ended up in the front of the line. Which wasnt so bad.The girl and I end up gripping each other, which is funny since I dont even know this woman's name.

Lots of shiz popping out at us and stuff. I have to say that Michael Meyers does not scare me. He is a man in a William Shatner mask who walks around real slow. But after leaving the house, you enter this makeshift maze made with black plastic and 2 by 4's. At the end of the maze Michael Meyers is just standing there in the middle of the exit doorway. Next thing you know, the strob light turns on and we have to walk towards him. About 5 feet away from him, he moves toward us and is suddenly in our face. And he will not fugging move. So we had to move around him. That had to be the scariest part for me, with him just standing there watching us.

Overall good night that ended with us watching The Strangers back at my house.
