HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Patrick McDonnell’s Mutts comic did a week long Twilight-inspired Halloween strip about a bat named Edward and a bird named Bella. Its adorable! Here's one of the comic strips:

Les Miserables!

WOOOT! Over a 100 posts. :) This is the 102 to be exact.



Anyway, I have started reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo for school. And I love it. I'm surprised a book published in the 1860's can still be so good. In fact, I think this is the first book that I have been forced to read for school (not counting the Book Thief) that I have really liked since the third grade.*

I really really want to go see Les Mis on Broadway, but since I have absolutely no money right now that's going to have to wait a while. Right now I settle for renting the DVD.

* The book I liked in the third grade was the Mouse and the Motorcycle.

*Cough*

Ughh...I'm so sick right now. It feels like I'm trying to cough my lungs out and I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have taken so many cough drops...

Another Reason Why Google Rocks...

No, not because they're one of the best search engines on the web, but because I found both my blog and my fanfiction page(which I still haven't updated) in the very first 10 results that came up while I was searching today.

Drama!

So I joined drama club this year, because I decided I wanted to do something different this year. We're putting on the play The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, from the Chronicles of Narnia. And I actually got a main part! I'm going to play Lucy the younger sister (I think cause I'm so short, only 5'3,). I have no idea how I'm going to memorize all the lines! It should be kinda fun and definitely interesting to say the least. We're putting the play on sometime in December.

Extras

Extras by Scott Westerfeld is out today! This book is sort of like a follow up to his Uglies/Pretties/Specials trilogy. Same place different characters. Although he has said on his blog that there will be a small part with Tally in it.

I've been rereading Going Postal after finishing Making Money. And I came across probably one of my favorite quotes ever:

"Steal five dollars and you were a petty thief. Steal thousands of dollars and you were either a government or a hero."

Last Saturday I saw some pretty amazing bands at the Hershey Stadium. Collective Soul, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Live.

All the bands were amazing, though I have to say that Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace were my favorites. I'm sorry about how crappy the pictures look but I had to take them with my cell phone.

Making Money

Terry Pratchett's got a new Discworld book on the shelves. It's called Making Money, and I believe it's the 36th. It's the sequel to another of his recent books Going Postal (which I loved immensely). Like all of Pratchett's books Making Money is very funny and without a doubt a good read. I don't think it's as good as some of his other books, but still definitely worth your time.
