I've finished!

I actually finished Twilight a couple hours after I posted. Jack's Mannequin is a good band to listen to. Especially Made For Each Other/You Can Breathe. That song is kinda about love, then it's gets dangerous, but there still is love. Similiar to the book.

I absolutely loved the book. And I really want to read New Moon. My problem is that I don't want to buy it (it'd be weird, having Twilight in paperback, and new Moon in hardcover). I'm really uptight about my personal library. I'm on the waiting list for it at the public library. I believe I'm number 53 now! The agony!

But Twilight got me started on a reading jag. I've read The Count Of Monte Cristo, and I finished A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libby Bray.

I highly advise you guys to read The Count Of Monte Cristo. The movie is amazing, but the book is even better. Even though it's a little sad to see Dantes so obsessed with revenge, you keep holding out for a happy ending.

I also like A Great And Terrible Beauty. Just based on the back cover, I wasn't expecting much. I figured it'd be another girl goes to finishing/boarding school, is teased, makes one good friend, and then something happens and her life is perfect. It's not. Gemma grew up in India, and wanted to go to England and become a proper young lady. Her mother doesn't want her to. Something terrible happens, and Gemma's grandmother sends her to Spence. She becomes friends with her roommate, Ann, who is there on scholarship and isn't very popular at all. I think i'll stop right there, in the story line, but I'll tell you guys this. Gemma has visions. It's connected to her mother, and to Spence (her school).
There's also a little bit of a sub-plot with a boy. I don't know what to make of it, but I think it probably leads to more in the sequel.

One last thing. Panic! At The Disco... has a book club. I think it's pretty cool, since most people aren't like "Ooh, band. I wonder if they have a good book club?" You can get to it through their main website. I think we'll be reading The Picture of Dorian Gray next.

I'm accidently skipping class, so I shall go make up for it by studying. All of you should know that skipping class is not good! (especially when it's you that is paying thousands to go! eep!)

have a great day!
