When I hear stories from Mormor (my maternal grandmother) about the past, she can remember with startling details the assassination of JFK, the notice of death from a cousin in Vietnam, my birth, and many other days of impact. My paternal grandmother remembers Pearl Harbor. She remembers seeing the blood running down the hill and… Continue reading 9/11 A Day of Reverence and Remembrance

Should I have a rating scale?
As you know, I have been reading books and displaying my own opinions on them. All of the books I've read have been published for a while, but technically my thoughts on them could be considered as reviews. That said, I've seen some book review blogs have rating scales and others without. I want to… Continue reading Should I have a rating scale?
4 Chapters Left!
Ever since I was in preschool, I've wanted to write. Since then, I've written countless short stories, countless unfinished novels, and mountains of poetry. I've also written a piece of a high school play and wrote a preschool play. I am constantly writing. You can tell just by looking at this blog. My current project… Continue reading 4 Chapters Left!

Book Fourteen of 2012: ECLIPSE by Stephenie Meyer
"BELLA?" Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, just like he had in the parking lot, and kissed me again. This kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge… Continue reading Book Fourteen of 2012: ECLIPSE by Stephenie Meyer

I have four and 1/4th chapters left to… Continue reading My Book Thus Far
Testing Something Out
At one point in time, I was able to post a picture on here. Sadly, I'm not too sure if I remember how to do it. This is just me testing it out.
Changing Everything
So, I'm sure you've noticed that the blog name has changed, but the URL is the same. You have? Good. The reason for it was that I wanted a change. I wanted to make it state that this is me. Of course, that just made it look strange and now I'm wondering if I should… Continue reading Changing Everything
Random Thoughts
I've been thinking... My book "reviews" are terrible. They don't really give a lot of information. Most of it is my opinion and thoughts on the books I've read. Which is PART of a review, but really, no one really knows what I'm talking about when I type what I feel about a book. I… Continue reading Random Thoughts
Rhode Island and Craziness
For the past few days I was on a trip visiting my mom in Rhode Island. From the very beginning I forgot my computer. This meant I was stuck having to write by hand. It was refreshing to go back to what I started with a long time ago. However, from that point on, I… Continue reading Rhode Island and Craziness
