    I would like to win this pack because I love Meg Cabot's book, but I've never been able to meet her, so having an autographed book would be the next best thing. I can't remember why I started reading Meg Cabot books, but I've been reading them since middle school, and was able to relate to the characters. One of my favorite lines was in The Princess Diaries and it basically said that if the best 10 years of your life are from 13-23, that is pretty sad. It's much better to have 23-33 be great. That helped me put my life in perspective and get through some bad situations.

    I would love to win this because I am such a huge fan of Meg Cabot. I would love to meet her, but she's never around here. I love signed books and it would be amazing to own one. I think Meg Cabot is not only a great author, but person as well. She's even following me on Twitter! She's not distant with her friends, and she's super friendly and funny. I first read her books probably in elementary school, or in middle school. I started with the Mediator series (and I still LOVE it) and immediately fell in love with her writing. I still read her books and admire her.

      Meg is truly great! Especially to her fans! She follows me on Twitter too! That made my day absolutely when I saw that! lol. And she is just as great as you can probably imagine in person! I hope she comes near you one day! It took a while for her to get close enough to me, but she finally came this year and it was great meeting her! An absolute dream come true! :)

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Image
Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
