Dashing Through the snow

Every year two great mystery and suspense artists collaborate to make an amazing holiday book. Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark. This year they wrote a book called Dashing Through the snow. Its set in a small town in New Hampshire where they are having a winter festival called the Festival of Joy. When 5 employees at a local grocery store win the the lottery it is nothing but complicated. So, Alvirah Meehan and Regan Reilly team up to solve the mystery as always. This is an amazing book and I highly recommend it.

Buckling down

I just wanted to say happy holidays to everyone and hope you are using the free time for some reading :)
I sure am, but also for some serious studying since exams are in late January and I really want to be on honour roll so I've got some serious studying to do and a lovely science project to do.
Hope you all enjoy your holiday

nineteen minutes

A lot can happen in nineteen minutes
you find this out when you read the riveting novel by Jodi Picoult
By now you all must no I love Jodi Picoult from my raving review of her book My sister's keeper. Well if you need a good book this is the book to read its quite suspenseful.
Let me warn you though, it switches time periods and characters a lot so don't get confused, if needed make a list and write down an indentifying characteristic so you can remember because EVERYONE is important in the end to putting the puzzle back together. For example: Zoey-went to the orthodontist and heard an explosion.
Now onto the plot, there are so many twists I don't want to give anything away so all I can say is its about friendship and love and difficult choices and a High School shooting in a small town.
Now go read it
Oh and by the way its called Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult incase you didn't catch that :)

Classics

I really have a thing for the classics. Classic movies, classic music (not classical, classic rock), and of course classic books. Right now I am reading a very amazing classic called Wuthering Heights. Chances are you have read twilight and that is how you know about wuthering heights. Let me tell you though that this is my second time reading this book and it is not an easy read. It has confusing plot twists and an old english language that is not always easy to decipher. So, if you are just reading it out of interest because of reading twilight you need to know it is difficult and requires a high degree of attention. But if you want to read it don't get discouraged keep going because it is a truly wonderful book.
Yours truly,
Bookgirl

The phenomenon


So, about two years ago my friend began reading this book series and saying how amazing it was, I didn't really want to read it. Then last year some more people started reading it. Little did I know that they weren't the only ones. The series twilight was sweeping not just the nation but the world. Still, I was not very interested because I thought it was going to be one of those things where everyone says its amazing but really its not that good. Then, a very close friend, whose opinion I trust entirely told me I had to read them. So, I started and boy was I wrong. These are the most amazing books you will ever read and that's coming from me the Harry Potter fanatic (which by the way I was reading the series for the third time this summer so that's why I haven't been posting). I finished the whole series rather slowly because I didn't want it to end but then I decided hey, if I love them so much I don't want them to end I'm just going to have to read them again. So, here I am done all four books and on page 117 of twilight (the first one). These books are absolutely fantastic and if you haven't read them I encourage you to do so. As well, the movie comes out on November, 21st. But please read the books first and then go see the movie trust me it'll be worth your while.

Excuses

I could give you a million excuses why I haven't been posting, but the bottom line is I haven't and sorry. So, first I wanted to respond to a comment and say that "I know my kid's a star" is on muchmoremusic or MMM and sorry I don't know what number that is because you may have satelitte or cable or something different from me so I couldn't tell you. The series is over, but it is practically always playing on that channel. One show I forgot to mention and I'm suprised I forgot about it because it's my favourite show and it's called "Gilmore Girls". Remember if you have any question or comments feel free to post them. So, seeing as I am a Gossip Girl fan I have to recommend the new series Gossip Girl the Carlyles. The same Gossip Girl, but different characters, the carlyles are triplets and they're living in Blair Waldorf's old house. Another book I just finished is called Ophelia and it's a spinoff of the terrific and timeless Hamlet. Ophelia is the one Hamlet loves and now it's her turn to tell her story. It has everything romance, adventure, mystery and more. I have more books to talk about later, but that's enough for one post.
