My Favorite 2 Books

As you all can see from the side bar off to the side, I have a little list of some of my favorite books. It is extremely hard for me to pick my top 2, because every time I read a new book, it becomes my favorite. So the books I am about to talk about, I can't say they are my real favorite ones, that's just to hard to choose, so instead, let's just say these are 2 books that are currently, and have been, my favorites for awhile. haha.

Hush Hush (and it's sequel, Crescendo)

First of all...AHHHH!! Best.Book.Ever. It's as simple as that. This is the one book I would recommend all people. I mean, it has a little of everything. I think it would be classified as a thriller, but it has mystery, drama, suspense, supernatural stuff, and a little romance. Anybody who is looking for a good read should check this book out. Just be warned, once you start reading it, you will find it very hard to put down.

Two Way Street

This is a book I really enjoyed. It was hard for me to pick another favorite, so I picked this one because I have read it about three times, and every time I read it, I love it again and again. It can be a little confusing, because chapters show the two different point of views from the main characters, and it also flashes between the past and present. It is a good read for anyone who likes a little drama/romance, with sarcastic and strong headed characters. It will make you laugh, and it will make you mad, but it is really good.

Scrapbooking

I love scrapbooking. It is more fun and wayyy more creative then just putting pictures in photo albums. You get to add cute accessories and make the book your own. So when you look back at those pictures, you don't just see a picture, but you see a story. It is also a way to be artistic. I don't know what got me interested in scrapbooking, I mean, I love taking picture, so obviously I needed a place to put them all, but I guess I just needed a hobby, and what better hobby then making something that you will get forever, and when you look back on it, you will smile, and remember the good old days. :)

Before I Fall (pg. 167 - 184)

Whoa!! There was a big moment in these few pages that were I was like "WHATT???" I almost don't want to say what it was, in case someone wants to read it, but I feel like I have to now. Anyway, before we get to the surprise, what happened is Sam gets her friends to not go to the party. Instead they have a sleepover at Ally's house. Everything is fun, the girls are having a great time laughing and just talking. They go to sleep, Sam is awake when the other girls are asleep, and she takes those moments to think about everything that has happened to her. When she does fall asleep, she wakes up to a ringing, and she freaks out because she thinks it is her alarm clock, and Friday again. It turns out to be their phone, and Ally's mom gets so terrible news. Lauren killed herself. This was what made me go "oh my goodness!!" I did not see that coming, because, the other days she live Friday, Lauren marches up to the girls and calls them out on how horrible they are. Another thing we find out, that was a little shocking, was Lauren and Lindsey were best friends in elementary school. This was surprising because making fun of Lauren is Lindsey's favorite thing to do. Wow.

Review: Okay, I was little bored at first, but at the end of the chapter, I loved it. That's really all I have to say, haha.

I ♥ Photography

A fun little fact about me, I love photography. Actually, I love taking pictures in general. If I go out with my friends, I will always have my camera. Also, on family trips, I am the one taking all the pictures. Aside from that, I love taking photography pictures of plants, or my pets. And when I am lucky, my friends will agree to model for me. I just love the artist side and creativity you can accomplish with one click of a button. I recently took the photography class at school, and it taught me how amazing non-digital work is. Photography is one hobby that I have, and will keep my whole life. I get better with every picture I take.

Before I Fall (pg 132 - 167)

This is day 2 of reliving the day Sam died. This time around, she is able to convince her mom to let her stay home, but ends up going to school a few classes into the day. The way she views the same things that keep happening, are really interesting. Like the first time she cheated during her English quiz, and got the girl in trouble, she didn't care. But the third time it happen, she feels bad, and even tells the girl "you shouldn't be nice to me." It's little things like that, that keep happening. Another thing that happened, was she decided she was mad at her boyfriend for being a jerk at the party, both times it happened, so the ignores him at school, and of course, this makes her friends think she is weird. Not much more happened in these pages, so I am looking forward to finding out if she goes to the party, and if she does, what will happen.

Review: Well, I must say I wasn't very drawn into these pages. I think this is one of those books that take a little while before you really get into it. One thing I really enjoy, is her friends. Remember, their the whole "mean girl/were better then you" group, but for some reason, I am drawn into all the scenes with her friends. I guess that's why their popular. haha. Anyway, some parts of the book, make it hard to put down, while others, like the pages I just read, didn't draw me in at all. Hopefully within a few more chapters, I will fall in love with this book.

One Word...Amazing!


This girl sure can sing! One thing I love about YouTube is listening to people sing. I don't know, I just really enjoy it. And I just recently discovered this girl, because of this song, and all I have to say is, why was Justin Bieber discovered on YouTube, and not her? haha. Anyway, she has an amazing voice, and I wish her all the luck with her future in the music career.
