The Importance of Being Lauren

I read Flipped a couple years ago, and while I loved it I did not fully appreciate it. I've had it for a few days now and I've read it cover to cover, and then went back to read it from the middle where everything starts changing. This book is well written, witty, funny, and it makes you understand what the characters are feeling/going through. All in all I think it's is one of the most amazing books ever!!!!! I have to admit that I wanted a better ending, or a sequel but sadly there is nothing after the last line that reads: "Maybe it's time to meet him in the proper light." *sob* *sniffle* Anyway I highly recommended this book to you guys!

After finishing Breaking Dawn I didn't think that I could love any book ever again. Boy, was I totally wrong about that!!! This is the first time that I've actually been glad to be wrong...... The lovely sisters Brynn and Cherstin recommended both of the following books to me. Thank you guys for telling my mom about the Uglies!! My mom and I absolutely adore the Uglies series!! Please don't tear me apart for saying this but .....I think it was way better that any of the Twilight books...... I didn't read this book at first because everybody I knew who read it told me,"Oh, Sunbum you would love this!! It's so your kind of book!!" I truly despise being predicable so I decided I wasn't going to read it, and their predictions wouldn't come true. (Ha!) You can see how well that plan worked out.........I'm a sucker!! I couldn't resist for very long; so now I have proved them right! I really hoped that I wouldn't like it, but my hoping w...

Recently I had the pleasure of reading this wonderful "coming of age" book....... The Gospel According to Larry. Truthfully one of the only reason I even looked at this book is because of the cover. Hey , I didn't judge it until I actually read it......... This book made me: Cry buckets, scream in frustration, laugh out loud many times, and feel sad for the main character Josh aka. Larry. This is Josh's story about how his life completely crumbles after make in the hit website.... TheGospelAccordingtoLarry.com . He created this website to show the world how he saw things through his "Sermons". They were mostly about anti-consumerism. I didn't actually agree with all the things that he wrote, but I'm a sucker for books like this..... * You may not want to read this book if you: Cry easily, or if you can't stand preachy books. For everyone else I think you might like it......*

This summer I've decided to educate my taste in books. I have already finished Romeo and Juliet, started Hamlet, and tried starting Wuthering Heights . Romeo and Juliet was pretty good, I thought it was kind of silly though, Hamlet is really hard to get into and even as I write I have an ever growing late-fee on it at the library, and Wuthering Heights ......um...Alright I'll confess I couldn't get into it because I was just reading it to say that I read it. *I finally made it to page four yesterday! Isn't that amazing?*

I have just finished reading Scrambled Eggs at Midnight at midnight on Friday. I decided to read it after Cameo recommended it a couple months ago. Yes, I know it took a while but it was completely worth the wait. I wasn't enthusiastic about reading it at first, but as soon as I read the first line where she says,“My mother is a wench. It says so on her w-2″ I knew I was going to love it. Sure enough I "ate" it up, and it was really good. Thank you for recommending this book to me Cameo, and to all of you that haven't read this book you should! *Especially those of you who are hungry for a good book.*

I have just finished reading a fantabulous book entitled The 13th Reality by James Dashner. My mom totally surpised me and my siblings by making an un-announced stop at Barnes&Noble bookstore last Wednesday. I wasn't sure what book she was getting but then I remembered, "Oh yeah...That book she told me about a couple months ago. What was it called again?" Sadly, my feeble mind just couldn't remember. As soon as we paid and the book was nestled into my grubby, little hands, I started reading, and before I knew it, I was hooked. I couldn't believe how good The 13th Reality was. I had a hard time tearing myself away from the book for even a second. Of course I kind of have a life so I had to occasionally...........at least for potty breaks. Anyway, I absolutely loved The 13th Reality, and if I was a critic I would give it 5 stars. If I had 5 thumbs, I'd also give it a 5-thumb salute! It was one of the best books I've ever read. Yes, that's right I d...

I've been reading a really awesome ghost story. It has a very interesting plot! But there's a problem. Yesterday my Mom started the book, when the rest of us were at church. Now she's hooked, and I can't read the ending! Well I guess this is a great time to work on my patience. I like to finish things before others, so I know what happens first! So instead of reading I'm posting this. Isn't that exciting?!! The book is called, Sweet Miss Honeywell's Revenge . Scary title right? *Ooooohhhhh* (I just took the book from Mom's room! Ha!)

I just read the best book ever!!! I know I have said that many times before, but this time I'm positive! It's called "The Seer and The Sword". How did I come across this wonderful book? I will tell you.... I was at the library, and everyone was outside waiting for me. I couldn't find anything that looked remotely interesting, and when I did it was always the middle of a series, or something that my Mom wouldn't approve of! I was rushing to find a book by that point, I turned around and there it was shining in it's plastic cover! I quickly took it down, and practically ran to the checkout (I would have, but I went down the stairs!). When I reached the truck my Mom sarcastically said,"Well it took you long enough!" So that's the fateful story that brought me to my new favorite book!
