Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
I had to post this book because first of all, the cover is gorgeous! Secondly, the book sounds really good and then lastly, I just watched a youtube video where Jennifer Donnelly talks about the book. She talks with such passion about this book that I really want to read it now.

I won an Award!! Yeah me!
So I was going through my comments...OK, like my 1 comment, haha....that I didn't even realize I had and I found out was given an award by In the forest book reviews. Thank you so very much!! I am so excited to have received this and am excited to answer the questions...
Here is what needs to be done:
1.Thank and link back to the person that gave this award.
2.Answer the 10 survey questions.
3.Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic.
4.Contact the bloggers you’ve picked to let them know about the award.
Questions:
1.If you blog anonymously are you happy doing it that way; if you are not anonymous do you wish you had started out anonymously so you could be anonymous now? I don't blog anonymously and I wouldn't think to do it that way. I don't really understand the meaning behind that. 2.Describe one incident that shows your inner stubborn side: Yesterday I bought two new bookcases and I was determined to get them put up and all the furniture in my room and the frontroom rearranged by the end of the night so I could put my books on the shelves, even though I felt like crap.
3.What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror? A girl and not a women (I am very young looking and it sucks at time).
4.What is your favourite summer cold drink? Either Pepsi or Sweet Tea from McDonalds.
5.When you take time for yourself, what do you do? Usually read or just enjoy the peace and quiet.
6.Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life? What is it? I still want to learn to have some patience and know how to save (I spend all my $$-on books of course).
7.When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever , the shy person, or always ditching? I was the shy person...
8.If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment of your life what would you see? I don't know right now
9.Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people or events? I like to do both. I like to talk a lot so I blog about usually anything that I want to share.

Awww....Danny and Sandy???
OK, so if you don't know, Grease is my FAVORITE musical of all time!! I can watch that movie over and over and over again. I even went and seen the play on Broadway....
So, when I seen the cover of this book, I immediately thought of Grease....who wouldn't? Just read the title..."Endless Summer"....Just like one of the songs, "Endless Summer Nights"...
Have no clue what the book is about but I want it just because of the cover.... :)

Dystopian Challenge
So, I joined a dystopian challenge a few weeks back thinking it would be fun and easy, as I would only have to read between 2-4 books (Level 2), but it's not as easy as I thought.
I read a lot and rather quickly I believe so I thought I could knock these books right out. But I have to be in a certain mood to read certain books and I just haven't been in the mood to read dystopian lately. Or rather, there have been other books that I would much rather read.
So, here I am, stuck having read only 1 dystopian book and the challenge is ending soon. I think I need to figure out something...I mean, c'mon! I only have to read ONE more at the minimum!
Until next time, Happy "reading"...

My Barnes & Noble
Hi, how is everyone doing today? I hope good! It has been a long weekend for me and it is only Saturday!
So anyway, my husband and I stopped at Barnes & Nobles in our old neighborhood and I took some pictures, so I thought I would post them so you could check out how our YA section is set up...Enjoy!

Ugh...I was trying to space the pictures exactly the same, but it kept screwing up on me! How hard could it actually be?? Apparently very hard for me.... :)
Until next time, Have a good "read"...
