UNWIND

NEAL SHUSTERMAN
it's by the same guy that wrote Schwa!

this book was SO good. like one of the best. really good.

and good for those political ones, because it takes place in a future post Hartland War, in which the pro-life and pro-choice parties battled. so there's this law for like protecting unwanted kids until they're 13 and then the Unwind Papers can be signed.

then they chop them up and transplant all their parts to other people. 99.4% of them. nasty

this book was really good. about connor, risa, and lev, who ran away, and all these other AWOLs who like live in this 'graveyard' and stuff. it's crazy.

and actually funny too.

and seeems realistic, even though i hope there's never a real law like that.

read it, yo!

twilight movie

so i saw twilight, and i have just one thing to say.
MANNO, WAS ROBERT PATTINSON HOT!
like, my lord.

go see it!
i hate when people don't read the book first, but you'll prolly like it better if you don't read it. idk... they just added some crap, and skipped a lot (of course).
so actually... don't read it! well.. no, the book does explain a lot...
so read it. the book is WAY better.
maybe read it after you see it? idk!

guess what i read today!!!

WAKE BY LISA MCMANN!!!
in three hours!!!
lol
recently i was like, ohh, i wanna read wake again!
so i go to the library cuz i'm out of things to read. and i'm gonna put it on hold.
cuz it's been checked out a lot. which is good.
people are obviously reading it.
but much to my suprise, it was there, so i got it and read it.
let me tell ya, it was just as good as when i read it this summer.
there's some books that are like that, no matter how many times you read them, it's still the same as the first time.
and i put Wake on my christmas list, seeing as it comes out in paperback on December 23!
just in time for the holiday season.
when is hanukkah?
so yeah, i've read it three times (way more for mah favy parts cuz i go read them again and again). and it'll prolly be way more by the time... i... die? sure...
do they have Wake shirts? like Twilight? they should have those...
and is Wake gonna be a movie? let's get someone on that please...

yeah, i'm strange... but ya gotta love me!
oh, and i've gotten crap for not "telling" people to read wake. EXCUSE ME "M", when i exclaim about how good the darn book is, and make an idiot of myself, it means "READ IT".
so jeesh, do it already.
:)

TWILIGHT

STEPHANIE MEYER
sorry, i finished this a long time ago...
this book confused me. i'm not sure that i liked it... okay, so i liked it. i did want to be a vampire for a few days, you know, and like go up in the rafters and just sit. i thought it would be cool. and true, i couldn't put it down, i believe that i DID in fact have a twilight related dream (maybe more than once... i don't remember). that's what happens when i read too fast though...
it's just... i thought it was too explainy. and i know, it's the first book, and the author needs to clarify a lot of stuff... but i thought there was too much repeating of the same stuff. like...

edward: "are you afraid of me?"

bella (my favorite name ever, btw, even before this book):: "no, i love you"

*later*

edward: "you should be afraid of me, i'm bad bella"

bella: "i'm not afraid, you're good"

and so on and so forth. there was just a lot of repeating of edward (aka sexy vampire boy who's like a few hundred years old) not feeling very good about himself and being all upset. so he can't stand to be around bella (because he totally wants to drink her blood and all) but he's like in love with her, so he obviously can't stand to be away from her. quite the pickle. plus, then she's in love with him, even though she should be terrified of him.
this is a long review, and in the end i still don't know if i loved it. i liked it, but... also i didn't... idk. i think the first one was a bit overrated, but i've heard the rest just keep getting better.

*fingers crossed*

i'm seeing the movie on saturday! so i haven't read the second one so it doesn't mess with me or something... idk.

COMMENT QUESTION: have you read Twilight? are you seeing the movie? "M" will already know how i feel about this...

COMMENT QUESTION: what do you think of the comment question thing?

lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO ME

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LIZZY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TO ME!

YAY!

Happy Election Day!

to one and all!!
i'm soo glad this election is finally over! they've been campeigning for over two years. enough already!
so who are you voting for??
i used to not care at all, then i was mccain, but now i think i'm obama.
mah parents yelled at me for that one.
oh well.
and i'm not like REALLY paying attention to it, and i'm not like HARDCORE for anyone, but i just think we need a change.
i see it as the country's been going to hell lately, so we need someone new in office. i think, why not see if a democrat will help.
plus, there's another election in four years, so why not give it a chance and then decide where we are? is that crazy? i don't think so.
and as Ash keeps saying, Obama's for abortion, but, like, i think people should have the choice. I think it's murder, yeah, I wouldn't do it, but it should be everyone's choice.
and like Proposition 8 in california. McCain says yes, which i think is rediculous, and Obama says no. look it up, i'm not explaining it.
so yeah, i think we should just see where we are in four years, and if mccain wins, fine, if obama wins, fine.
i think people are taking this wayy too seriously. like, just chill. even like sixth graders. like, their opinions don't matter at all, why do they get into fights about it?
plus, i think i like obama because mah parents hate him. is that so wrong??!!

leave comments! i like opinions! but don't yell at me!

guess who's birthday is in one week??!!!

i hope you've got your presents wrapped and your parties planned!!

jk, i'm not expecting a party. at least... not a big one...

although, presents, i am expecting!
ha

now what i'm reading

so i'm reading Twilight, that uber famous vampire book, right?
and everyone's like 'omg read twilight it's so good!" not to me, but you know... to other people.
i'm a mental patient, seriously
so yeah, i guess it's good...
i'm like half way already. because i read fast. and i read it a lot. even though i should be reading about yellow fever because that summary is due in... about a week and i'm still only like halfway done with that book. oh well.

i'm not sure how i feel about Twilight yet. like... idk. yes there, will be a real blog about it. i just needed to... say something about it? idk.
that post will probably be soon, seeing as i'm reading real fast.

oh, and i mostly wanted to read it cuz the movie is coming out November 21, the same day that Harry Potter was supposed to come out but then they RIPPED out mah heart and moved it to june, and moved twilight right in there to fill our fantasy movie needs or something! god! stupid harry potter!!!
jk, harry, you know i love you!
xoxo

SIZE 14 IS NOT FAT EITHER

MEG CABOT
sequel to Size 12 is Not Fat
i loved this book i think it was probably better than the first one. it was great and soo funny and scary... oh mystery!
heather has to take remedial math before she can take real college classes lol.
and i think Gavin is like the sweetest, funniest kid ever i want to kidnap him only he'd be older than me... if he was real... and the heather/gavin back'n'forth banter is like the funniest stuff ever.
and they find a head in a pot on the stove!!! scary! and obviously, there's drugs involved, because, well, it's college.
and heather's criminal dad shows up! he's a weirdo. i think he was supposed to be "funny" but i just thought it was strange. and cooper. oh cooper. and jordan! who's getting married.
the highlight for me was Gavin, most devinately. and the end... yeah, okay it was good. i mean, like the last page that's supposed to lead us into the threequil. sure, it was good, but... whatever.
grrrreat book

oh, and "M", i'll bring it for you!
