Lately I've been reading a consistent amount of books. However, I kind of have a problem. I'm reading too many books at once.
I started reading The Mrs Marridge Project by Pauline Fisk and got like 30 pages through when I was assigned Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers for my English class. I thought it went kind of slow at times but was still good in the end. It took me a
while to finish it because it wasn't that spectacular until like 200 pages in.
While in between those two books I got sidetracked (I just wanted something that wasn't about the Vietnam war and killing--which is what Fallen Angels is about) so I started The Year of Secret Assignments by Jaclyn Moriarty. I really like it and how it's presented. I got 30 pages into that one too.
I exchanged books with my friend Danny and guess what I got? Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Is it weird that I've never actually read the books? When they first came out I was like six. When the first movie came out I was ten and I went to the theatre to watch it and didn't really like it. When the book really got hyped and the fandom was starting to peek, I wasn't much of a reader. Recall that I don't like fantasy much also, in books and movies.
But since I watch the fiveawesomegirls so much and they blab about Harry so much, I gave in and started reading it. I'm about halfway done with it and I really like it. I see how things are shaping, I know there's lots of space for a lot of things to happen. I'm glad I don't remember any spoilers from anything. It's so weird how Harry is 11 years old right now that I'm reading him, but when I think of Harry I think of Daniel Radcliffe and he's so much older now. (Remember when Hermione/Emma Watson's hair was a frizz-ball?)
After I'm done with that book I will read The Year of Secret Assignments and then The Mrs Marridge Project.
By the way, I finally have made a new review. I did it differently this time... I made a video review.
The review is for Naomi & Ely's No Kiss List by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Just click here to watch it. I'm posting it on my wordpress site also. Leave comments on youtube or wordpress, I don't mind where... Hope you like it!
Lastly, I would like for you guys to know that on Dec. 15th I will post some information regarding a contest of Lisa Schroeder's for her new book which is titled Far From You.
Check it out then. :)
Till next time,

So excited to watch the video review... I don't have time now, but tomorrow I'll have plenty of time!
Also, I hate when I start reading too many books at one time... bleck, it's so stressful.
Can't wait to hear about the contest!!!
Can't watch the video either, but the cover for Naomi and Elys looks awesome!
