Book # 22

Over the weekend, I finished my 22nd book, Let it Snow, by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle. This is a book that has three different stories, written by three different authors, but each story overlaps characters as well as setting. There are three winter romance stories about young love, but each love story is about a different kind of love. It's also interesting to read about how theses three stories fit together, and how the characters are connected and brought together.
A great find for $1 at the warehouse sale.
I really enjoyed this winter romance novel for a change. It was cute, quaint, and heart-warming to read during these cold times. I'm also a sucker for a good romantic comedy, and it's very funny in certain parts. The characters are very real, and although all of them are from different writers, they are very believable. Each story is about a different kind of love story. The first is about realizing the love that you have, may not be the love that you need or want. The second story is about finding love in new places, and how people can really change. Finally, the third story is about loving yourself, and how it's easier for others to love you when you love yourself. I love John Green already, and if you haven't read Looking For Alaska, then read it now!! That is a life changing novel, it will shake you to your core. The other two authors are new for me, but have published many books as well. For those of you looking for an enjoyable, easy, and fun winter read, this is for you.

Rating: (out of 7 stars)

Everything Happens For a Reason, I hope!

Just recently, I was turned down for the Teach For America position, that I spent long months applying and preparing for. I can't say that I wasn't disappointed to read the generic "Sorry you did not get it" letter they sent me. It was hard to see my dream of working for Teach For America, and finally being a teacher get dashed, especially with a generic letter. I really had a great feeling about the process, and left the interview feeling like I nailed it. I guess that I didn't impress like I thought I did. I broke down at first from the shock that I didn't get my dream job, and then I cried because I realized how badly I did want it, and how wrong I had been. Later that night I talked to my mom about what had happened, she knew I was upset about missing this opportunity and offered some advice. She said like so many do, "Everything happens for a reason." At first I was annoyed, because I feel that so many people use this logic as a cop-out. But, as...

Book # 30 and 31 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Through the Looking-Glass

Over the past few days, I decided to read one of the free books that I downloaded on my nook, to really get a feel of how it is to read on it. One of my free books was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , and the second book Through the Looking-Glass. I've read the first book a few times, but I haven't read the second one yet, and I was curious to see how these books matched up against the popular Disney movies. I love these books, for the magical, imaginative, and interesting quality that they both possess. There are so many elements that are completely odd, and yet they say something about our society, how we name things, why we say certain phrases, etc. They are so quick and on spot, that I don't think children would understand them at first, but as an adult I picked up on so many of them. I've always loved the movie from Disney, but now after reading the two books, I realize that cartoon movie is a combination of the two books. Which is interesting, but I think ...

Book # 38 Water for Elephants

Thanks to a co-worker who lent me the book, and friends and family that told me how amazing this book was, I finally read, Water for Elephants , by Sara Gruen. I have been hearing rave reviews from friends, family, coworkers, online sites, and other blogs about this book, and I have to say that I agree whole-heartedly. This is a wonderful book about love, life, the circus, and how connected people can become with each other and animals in such a short time. It's a stunning tale of the carnival and circus people of a time long ago, and how their lives revolved around the circus, the performers, the workmen, the animals, and the crowds. I loved all the characters in this book, and it was really interesting going from the past to the present with the main character. The love between Marlena and Jacob is so wonderful, and pure that it's a great part of this book. I also love how involved and invested Jacob becomes with the animals and some people in the circus. It's a tale of...
