Libraries! School! And My Book Loves!

-
Last Friday my dad took all of us chillins to the library. Of course since I'm a big book dork I got six books. (That was on reserve for me) I'm serious, the librarians practically know me by name now. So not I'm going to share with you the books that I got and why I adore them.
The Darkest Powers Trilogy
There are so many reasons why I love The Darkest Powers Series. It's clean, the story is amazing, and I'm in love with all of the character! Even the characters that are kind of mean. I was sucked in by the first book, and I almost died waiting to read the second. And right now I'm dying to read the third and last book about Chloe and her friends. Another thing I love about these books is that I can read more than once and still love it. I'm seriously obsessed with these books. Kelley Armstrong is an amazing author, but sadly I cannot read her other books because they are supernatural romance novels.
The Wicked Lovely Series

This series is fairly clean. There is some kissing in it but nothing super inappropriate. I pretty much adore these books. When I read a book I usually want the good guy to get the girl, but when I read these books I want the bad boy prince Keenan to be her boyfriend. He is so stinking patient with her, and even though he is a jerk with everyone he is super nice with her. I screamed when she went back to Seth (the good-ish boy)! Seth is not a good boy but he is a better person than Keenan. (I still like Keenan better) I was disappointed with Radiant Shadows (I finished it last night). The book focused on characters that I don't really care about! I want to read more about Keenan and Aislinn, but the book didn't have them in it. *grumpy huff*


I have a strange fascination with princess books. I'm NOT a girly girl but I do love princess books. These two books were surprisingly funny and clever. "Palace of Mirrors" was written by one of my favorite authors of all time, Margaret Peterson Haddix. (Seriously I love her so much I have almost all of her books) "Princess of Glass" was a little predictable but the dialog was hilarious, and the way the author wrote the character was very personal and I really like that in a book. This is the first book I've ever read by Jessica Day George. I was impressed by her writing so I will definitely read her other books in the future.

I'm reading everything I can get my hands on because once school starts again I won't have time to read any books other than text books. Sad, I know. It's totally true though. If I get my hands on a book during the school year I spend the whole day reading instead of studying. My dad made a ban against me reading books or going to libraries during the school year. I love school, and I love reading, but my two loves cannot intertwine. I know my dad is right about me always getting distracted though.....So I have to be obedient or I'll get bad grades. *sigh*

Okay! That's all. Now I'm off to the library to get the last book in The Darkest Powers series, and another princess book! (In my defence about the princess books my little sisters read it after I'm done with them. It's not like I save them all for myself....)

What Happens When Daredevils Take On Crafts.......

For the past two weeks I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to learn how to quilt with the women in our Ward!!!! I went with Monkey this morning, and not only did I make a l ap quilt but I also found that I love q uilting !!!!! Because I was thinking so much about quilting I think it was hammered into my sub-conscience mind.........That's the only thing that can explain this dream, or I'm just weird. You choose. The Dream- In my dream I was running in the woods with a pile of fabric in one hand, and a sewing machine in the other. In the middle of a small clearing was a table, so I went up to the table and quickly laid out my stuff and started quilting. I was just a quarter of the way done when something crashed through the bushes behind me, one hand was still sewing while the other was hitting the creature that was trying to attack me. I kicked and hit the stuffing out of the thing, and it left battered and bruised with it's tail between it's legs. I just shook my...

Be afraid, very afraid of the lama-eating casserole

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...

Yes this is all true!

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy ...
