Mood: Overwhelmed
Listening to: The Washing Machine
Reading: Parties and Potions

Spring: Study, work, draw, read.

Fantabulous books I suggest:

1. Paisley Hanover Acts Out [link] -- This book is great and had me interested from beginning to end! I suggest this to anyone who is struggling in high school because it has such a positive message. Its upbeat, fun and sassy. I basically, plain and simple: adored this book!

2. Carter Finally Gets It -- Funny, sad, confusing (only because the main character gets confused... other than that its NOT confusing in a bad way) and a quick read. I read it in one day at school.

3. Parties and Potions -- Who doesn't love the Magic in Manhattan series?

School Books (I have read way more than this... but these are the ones I am commenting on):

1. The Awakening -- Interesting, deep read. One of my all time favorite books.

2. The Great Gatsby-- Daisy and Gatsby were so shallow... I just couldn't get past it.

3.Seneca; Tragedy -- Yeah, its a classic. A ROMAN classic. So far I am stuck on Hercules.

Thanks for the suggestions! Is the main character's first name or last name Carter? Man...I named my son Carter because it was different and I didn't know anyone with that name...now Carters are popping up everywhere!!

His first name is Carter. I like that it was a book about a high school guy from his POV... its always nice to know what they are thinking. Carter is still unique! Do not fret!

There's another cool book from a guy's pov...it's by Sherman Alexie and I think it's called something like "The (something) diary of a part-time Indian". I enjoyed it.
