The Fallen Star (Review)

The Fallen Star

As of the beginning of this year I have really been into checking out self publishing authors, about a week ago I decided to get this new book on My Kindle called The Fallen Star by Jessica Sorensen, I started the story not really expecting to much from it until I fell a few chapters in and 5 hours later I was almost done, I couldn't keep my eyes opened though so I went to sleep and come the next day I was done, correction I was blown away... what an amazing story! I am not going to go into full details I will say that it is a must read. A girl with strange violet eyes that can't feel any emotions for 18 years of her life, and all of the sudden... now like I said I wont go into full details but its definitely a must read.

I am now reading the second book I just couldn't wait.

Confused. =/

Ugh..

Only 1 hour of sleep, How great..I could have died this morning trying not to fall asleep behind the wheel.

I did kill 17 chapters of my new book I just started last night, I figure that I will be don't with it by today if not maybe tomorrow. =) Then I can Start Another.

At least I can be away in my own world for a while, so I don't have to think.

I'm so confused right now about a lot. Blah! I feel like I could mess a lot up.
books, confused

Alright so I have a lot to say....

THE HOST

Alright so I finished reading The Host about two weeks ago.
Excellent book, even though it starts of slow and goes into a lot of details, over all its very good, obviously not better than Twilight =).

At this point I am really puzzled about if I am happy or not... I mean last week I had dinner with A...the story is supposedly he's ready and we are talking again...Which made me super duper happy =)... But at times he is distant, for example not calling all day or texting really late in the day. And honestly I don't want to call or text him because I have done a lot of trying and effort in the past couple of months when he didn’t even respond or I didn’t even hear from him. I think I proved that I was ready and that I want to be with him...now it’s his turn. But it’s really hard to ignore the fact that he is remote at times and when he doesn’t call or text it kills me. But I know that I have gotten stronger and I know what I have to do.

Besides all that I am really happy I have started a Twilight Frenzy between my friends... YAY ME!!!... I have gotten all of them to read it. Annabelle, Mabelle, Mariel, Laura, Susan, Giselle, Made... Annabelle got one of her friends to read it and so has Mariel and it just keeps going =) Every time we all have discussions about it, in my head I am like "Oh My Gosh...I DID THIS!" Hehehe!!! Now to find another book that is to every ones liking is going to be hard because pretty soon the last book of Twilight will come out and we would have all read them all. So time to find another series to get them all hooked on even though it'll be hard because Twilight was AMAZING, WONDERFUL, AWESOME, FANTASTIC!!! I love that book so much it helped me keep my mind off of things when I was trying to deal with the whole A thing.

Blah at Work...

twilight New Moon Eclipse
Since I am Done Done Done with the Twilight until August, I have gathered a little collection of books I will read until then... Some of them are on the side but there is actually a lot more, since I have been going to the bookstore once a week.

In the next three weeks I expect to have read:

The Host
Rules of Seduction
48 Laws of Power
Antony & Cleopatra
Romeo and Juliet
&
Midnight Summers Dream


Anyway, my week is going pretty great.... I started a new module so that means new classes which to my luck are both networking, upside is that I am actually starting to get it, and I am Miry I pretty much get away with murder at my school.

I have been going to the gym everyday (even weekends) I am on mission mode. I went last night for two hours, got home at 12:45am then showered and went to sleep at 2:00am I woke up at 6:00am and went to the gym for an hour. Reason I had to go to the gym this morning is because I have a date tonight so I would not be able to go after school. It is in reality a double date because Annie and the guy she is talking to is going as well.


I have to get going now, since I have to work on things for the Vegas Convention.

Ciao, avere un grade giorno! ;)
