Seven is heaven
Last week I tried out for Chamber and ever since then, every time I allow myself to think, I can't breath. I am SOOOOOOO nervous. On Monday I was dreading the break because it meant plently of free time to think and I really value breathing. Even worse, my family was headed to Midway for the vacation. I don't know about you, but when I die, I want it to be at my house, in my bed, when I am asleep. Not at a random condo in midway by asphyxiation. Tuesday rolled around and I discovered, or rather rediscovered the value of a good book when you need to get your thoughts off of something. Before my family left, I took a quick trip up to the library and stocked up on books. On the way up I read I Shouldn't Even be Doing This by Bob Newhart. We arrived, unpacked the car, and as soon as everything was settled, I settled down with The Raging Quiet by Sherryl Jordan. I finished that on Wednesday while the rest of my family was shopping for clothes at the Park City Outlet stores. As soon as I was done, I ran over to the Borders outlet and bought five books for the price of four, spending just under half of my Easter bunny money. My proud perchases were Pretties by Scott Westerfield, Specials by Scott Westerfield, Flyte by Angie Sage, Fairest by Gail Carson Levine, and A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I got back in the car and began reading Fairest. Finished that and began reading Specials. I finished Specials on Thursday and started on A Great and Terrible Beauty. I was done by 7:00 pm and I began reading Flyte, but I couldn't concentrate on it because A Great and Terrible Beauty ended really badly and I didn't have the sequel... yet. On Friday before we left for home, we went back to the outlet malls to return some stuff. I returned to Borders and bought Rebel Angels by Libba Bray, the sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty. I spent the rest of Friday reading that, even when at the zoo. What can I say? It is a really good book. I finished it LATE at night, which was a little spooky. Anyway, on Saterday I woke up, did my jobs, and read The Light of the Oracle by Victoria Hanley. From all of this I have concluded three things. 1- I LOVE READING!!!! (maybe a little too much) 2- Books really help keep you from dwelling on things that you don't want to dwell on. 3- I need to get a life.
So for those who didn't count all the books I read and want to know the grand total, 7.

You are quite the bookworm and do need to get a life. Who reads seven books over spring break? Try not to worry about chamber too much, we have pretty good odds this year.

So how did you like Fairest? I have it, and I read it... It wasn't my favorite... Maybe it was because she spent the whole book telling you how ugly she was, and then in the end she expects you to see her inner beauty... It's like "Um, you just convinced me that you were unattractive, and now you want me to CHANGE MY MIND? Go write another book..."
How was "Pretties?" There was a boy in my ASL class who was reading it, but I forgot to ask him how he liked it. I haven't read it.
I'm in the middle of the begining of "Magyc"...or "Maygc".... Well, it's supposed to be "Magic" like "Flyte";... but that's WAY easier to spell...
So, my dear, are you coming to my play? If nothing else, you need to meet all the characters in my Jack Wayland novel of a life. They are actually pretty great when they aren't making me have anxiety attacks...hahahah! Well, I'm going to bed... Good night!
P.S. It's actually called "Magyk"...which looks really ugly when it's not in cool font.. Oh well...Night!

I hope you make it in chamber - you're so amazing you probably will though- don't stress over it. And you should have called me over Spring Break! How boring to just read books the whole time - dont' get me wrong, books are lovely, but so am I!!! :D

Wow! I wish I could read that many books so fast. They must've been pretty good.
