Theme: Write about your last trip to a book store/library.
Hmm, let me think...The last time I went to a book store/library was this winter. I went to Barnes & Noble. I'd only been there a few times prior to that trip. I love how you can just pick up a book & sit there and read it. Most of the time when I'm walking through Target & I see a book I want to read, I'm tempted to sit there on the floor and read the first few pages before I buy it (to make sure it doesn't suck). I figure this is most likely frowned upon, so I usually scan the back or inside cover & read the summary of it. Most of the time I end up putting it right back on the shelf & not buying it. But, at Barnes & Noble, there's chairs & couches to sit on while reading the books from their store. There is also a coffee shop where you can buy Starbucks :) .....anyways >>> The last time I went to Barnes & Noble I bought 3 books because I had a gift card from my birthday. I spent pretty much the whole day there. It was a great time....FIELD TRIP STRUSZ!?!?! Ehhh???
Ok, now onto my book. Well, I finished my first book, The Truth About Forever, on Saturday. That book was 374 pages. I really liked it! Here's a brief summary : The story takes place in the summer after Macy (the main character) 's dad died unexpectedly from a heart attack. Before his death, Macy was a big runner. But, after he died, she wanted nothing to do with it. This was because he woke her up one morning to go for a run but she decided to sleep in. She changed her mind about ten minutes later & after he'd already left. She figured she'd catch up to him. So she went to go catch up to her dad but she saw him laying on the sidewalk ahead of her & someone was giving him CPR. He had had a heart attack. He was taken to the hospital where he died. During the summer, Macy was planning on concentrating on her drills for the SAT & her job at the library while her boyfriend (who sounds like a loser to me) was at Brain Camp. While he's away, she sent him an e-mail saying she loves him. He responds by telling her that he wants to 'take a break'. She is really frazzled after this happens & ends up getting another job at a catering company. Macy begins to hang out with some people that her mother doesn't approve of & she starts to like a guy that works with her named Wes. She still works at her miserable job at the library, but then at the end of the summer, she decides she's not happy there & quits. Once again to her mother's dismay. She ends up seeing Jason (her ex-bf) at the end of summer & he wants to get back together. She almost goes back to him but then realizes she actually loves Wes. Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. I thought it was a really good book & would recommend it to any teenage girl who likes a good love story :)
I also started another book this weekend & I've been going to town on that one too. This one is called Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad. This book is the 2nd book in the series L.A. Candy. I'm on page 295 of 309 so I'm pretty much done with that book too :) I'm not going to summarize that one right now, but I'll make a post when I finish the book (which will hopefully be within the next 24 hours).
TOTALS:
PAGES: 669
BOOKS: 1 (almost 2)
APPROX. HOURS: 9
