Book # 18

The last book that I managed to finish in November is, Waiting For You by Susane Colasanti. She also wrote Take Me There which was book number 17.
My own copy of the book, bought at the warehouse sale.

This book is about a girl waiting for love, waiting for life to start, and waiting for her anxiety to stop. I liked this book much better than Take Me There, which is a little different in style. I like that this book offers the reader more than one relationship, it's not all about girl-girl friendships, or boy-girl dating, or boy-girl friendships. It's about all of them, and how as a teen you can have many relationships that are different and complicated, but that still work. I like the reality of her books, her characters aren't always the popular ones or the dorky ones either. She brings a realness to her characters, which is probably from her time being a science teacher to teenagers. Observation in these instances is key. Susane Colasanti writes books about teenage love, life, hardships, problems, friendships, etc. I used to love books like these from authors like Sarah Dessen, Meg Cabot, Ann Brashares, Megan McCafferty, etc. I think that now I have grown up and I'm not as interested in these, but they are easy and fast reads which make them nice sometimes. If you like teenage drama novels, then Susane Colasanti is for you, if you don't then maybe wait for me to read a different author.

Rating: (Out of 7 stars)

    Waiting For You by Susane Colasanti is about Marisa, a sophomore who is looking for love, and finds it in the last place she suspects it. The book is a typical teenage love story. The heroine falls for the wrong guy, while the underdog gets his heart broken. Then, the heroine realizes her mistake and falls in love with the underdog, who turns out to be the perfect guy for her. This book was very similar to any other teenage love story.

Book Sale!!!!!

     Right now on this website  there is an awesome book sale! They are selling books 5 for 15$ with free shipping! It is a selection of kids books, fiction, non-fiction, classics, and new titles. There are about 2000 pages of books to choose from! You can also get more than 5, what I mean is that you can get 10 for 30$, sometimes websites allow only 1 set of books for a sale to be sold at one time.     The best part about this website, is that when you purchase books from there they donate money to organizations that help people read, give books to children, and support literacy everywhere. They also do carbonfree shipping which adds on a little to your books, but it helps  "offset" these emissions through the purchase of clean energy credits and reversing deforestation."  Although, books can sometimes seem like they are not environmentally friendly, this website is trying to change that and help build trees again.      Once...

How Rude!

As of recently, I was hired and took a Customer Service Associate position at Lowe's. Which at first, I thought was just really a glorified cashier. As it turns out, we do a lot more than just ring customers out with their purchases. As a customer service associate, we ring customers out, we handle customer complaints, requests, problems, inquiries, we handle the phones, we find, print, and call about customer's order that were special ordered, or an internet order, or just ordered. We do a lot, and sometimes it gets very busy and crazy. What I really want to write about concerning my job was how to me it seems that people have just lost their ability to be pleasant, nice, and gracious to the people they are buying products from. I had so many customers be rude to me today, that it got me wondering, (and using Full House phrases), "Why are we so rude?" I know that I don't have a very important job, but I am still a person that should be treated with respect wh...

Remembering 9/11....

       I just wanted to say thank you to all those people out there who serve our country, and protect us day and night.        9 years ago, I was sitting in my 7th grade study hall, when we heard people running through the halls, thats when my teacher went out to investigate and he found out what was going on. He came back into the classroom and turned on our tv. What we saw was horrifying, surreal, and very very sad. I saw the second world trade center tower fall, and I saw people jumping out of the building, and I saw debris crashing to the ground in NYC. As a 7th grader, I was in shock, to me the U.S. was impenetrable. I really never thought that something like that could happen to my country. I was shocked, appalled, and confused. I realize now how naive I was, and how my judgement and view on life was forever changed that day.        I really have no idea whether it was the planes that knocked the to...
