Meg-A Readers 2015 Recap Week 1! :)

Hey Everyone!!

So it's finals week for me.  I've got one Saturday (online) and one on Monday, so work, studying, AND overall life has been keeping me very busy!! Summer is so close though, I can smell it!!!!!!

Anyway, for Week 1 of Meg-A Readers I officially suck! I'm sorry! I promise next week will be different! I will think of something fun to write about, because I will be able to use my breaks at work to think of something fun, instead of working on the last little things for my classes!! :)

Anyway for this week I've got some great posts to share with you! :)



LK Kimball kicked off Meg-A Readers with a bang, by doing Six Questions with Suze Simon!  It's really great and you should definitely check it out! Especially if you're a fan of Meg Cabot's Mediator Series!

And then Karen over at Lady Jessop, has her review of From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess!!!  Awww...that book was SOOOO cute!! I can't wait to share my review when it comes out on Tuesday!!!!! EEEE!!!!!! :)

Amber has an AWESOME giveaway for a preorder of Royal Wedding!!

And then Diana, over at Little Miss Drama Queen, posted about her Princess Diaries Experience! :)



So that's it for this week!!! Next week to make up for this week, I will also be holding a giveaway, courtesy of Meg, herself, and her amazing assistant!! :)

Thanks everyone! :)

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...
