1. I was just thinking about finishing this chapter.
2. I just had some cereal and I left my book right in front of me so I can read.
3. Why do I have to go into work today? Don't they know I can't put this book down?
4. 'Gus, stop licking me!' was in my thoughts today.
5. One of my father's favorite sayings was 'Kiss my butt and call it a love story'.
6. Exhaustion --I know that feeling!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to being able to stay up late and work on my FanFiction, tomorrow my plans include sleeping in and being outside, enjoying the weather and Sunday, I want to clean my room to prepare for Monday!

Book Beginnings on Friday (4/30/10)

Book Beginnings is a weekly Meme hosted by Page Turners!

Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading. If you like, share with everyone why you do, or do not, like the sentence.

Beautiful Creatures, chapter one and sentence one:

There were only two kinds of people in our town.

Mmm, not really the best line they could've written but along with the second sentence in the novel, "the stupid and the stuck", it fits well. 

Booking Through Thursday (4-29-10)

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly Meme hosted by BTT.

God* comes to you and tells you that, from this day forward, you may only read ONE type of book–one genre–period, but you get to choose what it is. Classics, Science-Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Cookbooks, History, Business … you can choose, but you only get ONE.
What genre do you pick, and why?
*Whether you believe in God or not, pretend for the purposes of this discussion that He is real.

This was probably one of the easiest questions I've ever answered. Without blinking I would choose YA. I think authors of YA fiction need to be even more talented in order to keep the attention of the audience. The plots are so creative and the covers are always worth their weight in gold. It's such a wonderful genre to blog about and be involved in a community of fans. <33

Waiting on Wednesday (428/10)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine.

This week's WoW is...

Book: Rules of Attraction by Simone Elkeles
Release Date: April 27, 2010
Yes, I realize I'm cheating a little bit but I just had to put this one up this week. As some of you know, Perfect Chemistry is one of my favorite books and I adore the way Simone writes. Naturally I am pumped for this one. I really hope this sequel does Alex and Brittany justice! I love them together so I hope I like Carlos and Kiara the same way. Think she'll write a third for the littlest brother? ;)

Teaser Tuesday (4/27/10)

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Should Be Reading.

* Grab your current read.
* Let the book fall open to a random page.
* Share with us 2 teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
* BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
* Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My mom would have laughed, the idea that I wasn't allowed to read a book. Things had obviously gotten pretty bad around here. - page 341
