I read this book half way, put it off, read it again and put it off again. I finally got to finishing it. And i am glad I did finish it. It got really frustrating at the end. Not that it was difficult to read, it was just I could follow the charectors feelings. And I felt like screaming my head of at some of her friends. Not how I thought it would end while I was stuck in the middle but it was really good.
This romantic comedy is for all women above the age of 15. Trust me. YOU HAVE TO BE 15!
Ok. I give up. What is up with everyone and the movie/book twilight? There’s just a bunch of vampires running around falling in love with humans, right? I didn’t read the book so sorry if my interpretion of whatever my friends tell me about it is wrong.
If it is about beings falling in love, then the only selling factor to the book/movie is the vampires. Yuck. I don’t get the story at all. I don’t intend to give the story a chance. If you want a good vampire movie where the vampire falls for the human, GO WATCH DRACULA!
Errr.
The last templar is one of the many books that questions Christianity. I have been interested in these sort of myths in my religion. I like being aware of them. I feel that The Last Templar is an exciting book which reveals the church’s recorded history with the Knights Templar however it sugguest every little scandle, except may be for something, I really rather not spoil it. It was a good book full of excitement and adventure. I expected a little bit more drama with Christianity but it was still a good book.
Don’t read it if you are a super super religious christian.
This is a very interesting website. I am starting a novel ( which may not be particularly interesting). Anyways, I was reading about this from a friends blog and the moment my novel is stable I’ll send the link.
Mean while, go to nanowrimo.com and start your own novel today.
So, I have complete my exams last Friday ( and have been jumping for joy ever since). I have put my tuition seassions on hold until the end of this month. I have a pretty free life for a while. So, I thought I would do some reading; fiction, non-fiction, educational books or article in the papers or online. It is always good to be well-read.
I am really interested in different areas of the world. Science, sports, politics, family. Anything. You can think of the craziest thing on earth and I am really interested in it. I even want to die sky diving. It would be a great way to die, seeing the earth the last time instead being in the arms of your lover with your kids around you.
Anyways, I will read about anything. It is good to know the views of others, creativity of others, the history of different studies, the occupations of the world, the cultures, the countries. I could list everything but I rather not. List can get boring.
It is good to know a little of everything than to know a lot about one thing because then when people change the subject, you don’t look so blur.
With the end of year examinations in the process of being marked right now, I decided to go to the Library today. That was this morning. I just completed my first book, the skinniest of all the books I pick, The Last Taboo by Bali Rai.
It centers around inter-racial dating. However, it is not set in the states but in the streets of England. There isn’t much mention of white people dating other races, but the minority of the race, the ‘blacks’ and ‘asians’. It was such a well put together book that when I was reading it, it was like reading a biography. Events that were stated in the book, although they may be exaggerated, can still happen in real life. Disgracing the family name for dating someone of a different skin colour. Being out casted. Being bashed up/beaten/run over by your own family. The book also included an example of how a black guy gets his girl. And also how horny guys can get too. The book isn’t X-rated but it does have swearing and some over descriptive passages and is not suitable for all ages ( I AM WARNING YOUNGER READERS NOW).
I really opened my eyes about what racial riots and disagreements can be because I have never experienced one before.
Alicia Fields, in my opinion, has out done herself again with her book the fatal attraction. She enjoys twisting fiction and non-fiction, giving her stories more depth. However, just like her first book,Love Underground, her heroin is with a man she does not love or like but ends up giving everything to that man, loving him in the end.
People say that writer write about their experiences. That is so true. I wonder Alicia Fields didn’t love her husband at first but ended up loving him.
Only she knows
Recommended for guys to read. These books are about men who didn’t give up and got their women in the end.
I know. I am a fast reader, but that is only because it is the school holidays and the book is really interesting. I couldn’t put it down literally! I still can’t put it down. I’m re-reading my favorite parts over again. I seriously have to put the book down to get this post done and get started on the next book.
The book I was talking about is entitled Love Underground by Alicia Fields. Her books around the myths of Greek Goddesses. Love Underground was based around the Goddess Persephone’s Tale. I really have to put the book out of my sight in order not to want to read my favorite parts over again. You can call the book a romance novel which is no wonder I am hooked on it. However, I love the way where the book is based around a lot of Greek mythology. Recently, Greek Mythology has caught my attention and I can’t get enough of it.
May be it is a passing fancy but I don’t know. Anyways, I am still recommending the book if you are interested in a good love story.
I borrowed Paulo Coelho’s book, The Witch of Portobello, from a friend. The book is a fictional compilation of recounts from different people. They tell the story of a young woman. She is desires freedom and is an adventurous lady. She has gone through many experiences that many of us would never, in our lifetimes, be able to experience. Although this book is a compilation of her life and you might call it her biography, she had no say in writing it. You will not find a recount from this young woman herself. For the best way to know who we are is to ask the people around us.
Many times while reading, many passages made me question my short live. I know what you are thinking. In 14, almost 15 years, what is there to question? Oh boy, there is alot to question. My values, faith, relationships, views on the world, my existence and me. If you do not believe in the paranormal, you will question the existence of ghost, witches and spirits. There were many time I wanted to throw the book; I wanted to rip it apart and burn it. But I didn’t read on, in search of some hope, in search for some words of comfort that I could hold on to, words that could ensure that everything I have done, everything I have believed in was true.
I love how the book ended. Many people, including a close friend of that young woman doubt her in so many ways but all coming under a general catergory, Love. I doubted her too. That was until I read the last page. I found my answers and cleared most of my doubts on the young woman and my life.
My answer was the three words of the book.It is also, in a way, the moral of the story. I’ll end of this post with those words but you should read the book to understand how those three words come into play.
I will tell you this.
Love simply is.
P.S. Everyone reading this post should go find the book and read it right now. It is just a great book. GO! Get your wallet and run to the nearest book store and buy the book!!!
Hey World,
I know. I haven’t written to you in a long time. For that, I apologise. I’ve been very busy with school and all. However, I decided to come on today to tell you about something I learnt- from myself.
Today, after school, there was some events that took place which lead to my ’self discovery’, events that I wish not repeat. There was this one conversation with a friend, however, that made me look deeper to who I was.
In front of many of my friends, I am dramatic. No. I am over dramatic and I over react. Trust me. You don’t know the meaning of over dramatic until to meet me in person. I can take the smallest thing and make it a really big thing. I am very loud and I can be scary. I just never saw how scary I was until I had this talk with my friend. I have become so scary that there are secrets that even my closest friends don’t trust me with. That hurts.
There are always excuses I made. ” I am attention seeking”. “I am really dramatic”. ” I am just being me”.”My past has caused me to be this way. I can’t change it”. In the eyes ( or this case ears) of all my friends, all they hear is “blah, blah, blah”. I am going to give the real reason.
Me being over dramatic is my outer armour. Loud. Dramatic. Intimidating. Inside, well, there’s just me. Basically, every time you read a post, you see me. Without the armour. Just so you know, everyone has an armour. Everyone knows that their armour is very brittle and can crumble to the ground time. They keep this armour up because they see everyone else has a seemingly strong armour and feel a need to protect themselves. They feel a need to be strong.
This armour is basically made of energy. I need to be loud and dramatic to be strong. You might need to push people around or gossip to feel strong. This energy that we use to make us strong is actually making us weaker in the eyes of the ones we care for the most. So what do we do? Well, I am not going to change completely. I just have to channel my energy so that instead of it being a big brittle armour, it is a little less intimidating and may be my friends would trust me more than they do now.
May be you can channel your energy for something more constuctive.
With regards,
Cheyenne
