Hey Everyone!!

I am so unbelievably excited to be sharing this news with you!! I am so sorry, it's a little late, but a new semester started this week, so I'm getting back into the swing of things, learning to juggle my new school schedule, a new campus, and work!

But anyway, I'm here to announce...

What is that? You may be asking?  

Well, some of you may have heard about a book called The DUFF, by Kody Keplinger.  What some of you may also know is that The DUFF, has been made into a movie, and that it is hitting theaters next month on February 20th!!!  I'm very happy to say, I got to see it last week, and absolutely loved it!!  It was soon funny!!!  My review will be going up on February 20th, so be ready for that!!

Anyway, in the mean time we have some very exciting events coming up!!

Along with a few other fabulous bloggers, we are hoping to get a bunch of people to either read for the first time, or RERead The DUFF, to get ready for the movie next month!!!


I will admit, I cheated, and reread it already this year, because since I read it for the first time in 2011, I've enjoyed starting my year off by reading Kody Keplinger's debut novel ever since in the beginning of a new year!!



The Read-a-Long officially started on January 13th, so yes, I'm a little bit behind on announcing again...once again, very sorry about that.  But better late than never, right?!! :)

Anyway, along with the read-a-long, we need your help!  We want you guys to tweet, Facebook, Tumbler, etc.  about The DUFF!  We want people to see this movie! I can tell you right now, I will 100% vouch for it, and say that it is hilarious, and everyone should go and see it!!!

Along with the read-a-long, we've got Kody Keplinger joining us on February 2nd at 8pm EST., which is 5pm, PST, and answering all the questions you may have about The DUFF!!!!

How awesome is that??!!!

How awesome is that??!!

I'm so freaking excited!!!! I can't even tell you, how excited I am to be a part of it!! I've been annoying my mom and boyfriend about how I am a part of this!! :)

Anyway, so yes, READ The DUFF!!! I've been saying it for years, because it's true!!  I'm serious! This book changed my view on friendships, when I had just gotten out of high school.  I actually really wish I had had this book in high school, because it would have helped me so much!!

So get reading!!

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...
