Bible Passage...

So, I finished the book "Stuff White People Like". I found it to be quite amusing. It was definitely an easy read. I never found myself bored while reading it. It was for sure right up my alley. The humor was something I really enjoyed because of the sarcastic tone. I found most of the "Stuff" to be very accurate and true but quite exaggerated. I'm not really sure how to apply a Bible passage to this book, but I'll give 'er a try!....So one of the things White People "Like" is having religions other than their parents so hopefully this passage works...1 Kings 14:9
You have done more evil than all who lived before you. You have made for yourself other gods, idols made of metal; you have aroused my anger and turned your back on me.

I just got a new book from Amazon.com called forget you & I will be starting that this weekend :)

Hours: 23ish

TOTAL HOURS: 20 and a 1/2 hours

my goals

So, my goals at the beginning of this were to read errrrryday...thats not happening.
I have sooo much going on & I don't really make time to read.
I could have PLENTY of time to read but, sadly, I fill that time with useless other things.
I dont read very often, but when I do I read for hours!
When I pick up a good book, it suddenly becomes my priority over everything.
I finished "Two Way Street" last week and I honestly haven't read anything since then... :/
I'm waiting for Ian to finish the other book I bought at Barnes & Noble recently.
It's a girlie book so I'm surprised he's enjoying it. It's like 400+ pages & he's dominating it.
SO yea, the hours & pages etc. are the same as last week...this week was kind of a fail.
I was distracted my the awesome Journalism Unit we have going on in English right now.
Sorry to let you down STRUSZ... :(
Next week will hopefully be better...well, let's hope :):):)

Book Review

So I listened to the Books on the Nightstand book review & it was about a mom who was trying to find good "middle reader" books for her 7 year old. I totally agreed with their recommendation of Magic Tree House books. I used to read those books in like 1st & 2nd grade & I loved them!! We had a mini 'library' at our grade school & whenever a new Magic Tree House book would come in, we would fight about who got to read it first! Also, I would recommend the Bailey School Kids series. I love those books! They were also a big hit in my grade school days. The books are about normal kids who just happen to run into monsters. For example, there is one called "My Gym Teacher's an Alien" and they're all pretty much like that. They kept me very intrigued. Also, I LOVE the Junie B. Jones books! Sometimes I find myself picking those up now & I laugh every time!

SOOOO, I finished Two Way Street! It was amazing! I finished it a couple of days ago but I didn't get around to blogging. Ok here's a summary:
Courtney & Jordan used to date, but they planned to drive to college (in a diff. state) together before they broke up. Courtney's parents are still making her go on this road trip with him even though she doesn't want to. Well, we find out later in the book that Courtney's dad and Jordan's mom were having an affair!!!! Jordan comes home one night & sees them making out on the couch (gross). Courtney's dad threatens Jordan & thats why they have to break up...(Jordan told Courtney a fake story about a girl he met on the internet). So Jordan still likes Courtney, so he tells her dad that he'll tell Courtney the truth about the affair if Courtney doesn't go on the trip with him so thats why she was forced to go.
During the trip, Courtney does her best to pretend that she's in love with someone else (because she thinks Jordan has a new GF). That doesn't work out nicely & Jordan tells Courtney's dad that he's going to tell her the truth. BUT, Courtney's dad tells her 1st & then she gets mad at Jordan for not telling her right away (Jordan was scared of her dad so thats why he didn't tell). In the end they end up getting back together. I thought it was a really good book & the affair thing was a huge twist that I was not expecting!! :)
