Update!

HEY everyone!

Happy Sunday!!

So this is actually a quick update!

I'm sorry there haven't been any reviews up this week.  I'm currently rereading a certain series, where the final movie in the series (;() will be released next month, and I want to do a cumulative review where I discuss all the books. 

Anyway, a quick update...

I've been a bit slow in my reading the last couple of weeks, but believe me I've got a good excuse!!

First off, my family are I are getting ready to move into our new house in the next couple of months.  It's not a far move, in fact it's only into our backyard into the new house lol, but none the less a move.  I have started reorganizing, getting rid of a bunch of stuff, thrown a LOT of papers away, and...if you know what moving is like, then you know where I'm coming from.
Anyway, yup moving.  It's going to be super awesome, because we've been waiting about 5 years to move into our new house, so I'm definitely looking forward to spending my first night in my new room!

Second!!
We've got a new member in the family!!!

This is Buddy!  He's our new baby in the family!  We got him on Monday, and he's definitely acting like a typical baby.  Keeping my mom and I up at night, as we take turns with him.  As I'm writing this, it's only 7:30 on a Sunday Morning, and he's sleeping (yeah his goal I think is to get me awake, to the point where I can't fall asleep anymore, and then he decides "Okay, I'm going to sleep now.")

haha anyway, he's a total cutey!! Our other three big boys:

From left to right: Wolfy, BJ, and Bear
are definitely taking it day by day.  You can definitely tell the jealousy in the air!  Wolfy and BJ, the two older ones (both 5) are not too happy with it, but we're definitely giving them our attention daily!  And Bear, well, he's still pretty much a puppy himself (and technically he isn't ours, he's our family's friend, and Wolfy's baby), and loving someone new to play. 

So that's my update!  Again I apologize for the irregular reviews these past two weeks.  I usually try to have at least one review per week, especially during school days; but right now, busy..busy..busy!

So until I finish the series I'm rereading, I'll be continuing Music Tuesday, and once in a while interviews and possibly a Still on my Mind or two! :)

Happy Weekend!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

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...
