It's actually a meme. Sort of a long one. But it's about books!
Got it from who made it.

A LIT MEME FOR ALL THE BOOK NERDS:

So, you can read! Congrats!
Are you reading a book right now? How far are you into it and what do you think so far? If you're not, what was the last book you read and how did you feel about it?
I'm currently reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I'm maybe a 1/4 of the way into and I'm really liking it.

Do you have a favorite book? Do you have... a book you really liked, at least?
I have lots and lots of favourite books. Deathwish by Rob Thurman comes to mind. Or the Vatta's War series by Elizabeth Moon.

What would you say is your favorite genre to read? What to tend to steer away from?
Sci fi, although I find it difficult to find well writtin stuff. Usually military sci fi is good.
I steer away from space opera, romance, some fantasy now too...

Do you read more fiction or non-fiction/information books?
Definitely more fiction. Though history books really catch my interest.

How about a favorite author, or perhaps a few?
Yeah, don't let me list 'a few'. That'll be a lot. Elizabeth Moon, Rob Thurman, Corenila Funke, Terry Pratchett, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the list goes on.

Have you read any terrible books? Something you'd recommend staying away from?
I've read my fair share of terrible books, but everyone has their own opinions so I won't go listing off a bunch. One that does come to mind though is William C. Dietz. Logos Run was almost impossible to finish.

Do you reread books, or is once enough? Any exceptions so far?
Yes! I love rereading books.

What were some of your favorite books as a child?
Oh I had so many. Most of them were horse books.

Do you usually pick books from the kids, teen, young adult, or adult books? How old are you, if you don't mind?
Adult and young adult. I think the latter section because the level of violence and sex is way less than a lot of other novels.

Do you buy books much or mostly just borrow?
I prefer to buy, but borrowing works too. (Especially when you're a broke, college student. )

Have you read any books after seeing them in movie form? Which did you enjoy more?
I don't know if I've every actually done it...

What about reading the book before there was a movie? How did you feel about the movie? Did you even bother seeing it?
I try to read the books first. I try to remember that the book was interpreted differently than I might have thought... so it's pointless to get worked up over it.

Do you read any other forms of literature aside from novels? Such as graphic novels, comics, (fan fiction???) etc.?
Mmm, a few webcomics.

What is a book you want to read, but haven't yet? What intrigues you about it?
I have a list... somewhere...

If you could rewrite the end of one book (or any other part, I suppose), which would you choose? If you were satisfied with every book you read's end, yay.
Dean Koontz's Seize The Night. The ending was so just, 'blah'. Even just a bit of rewording might have worked...

f you can think of one, name a book that made you:
- cry:
Dancer or Sundancer by Shelly Peterson

- laugh:
Oh gosh, anything by Rob Thurman.

- think, in a deeper sense than the obvious:
Some of Dean Koontz's work... when I'm not freaking out from the spooky stuff.

- feel pure happiness:
Hmmm, there's a few.

- become so addicted you put off everything in order to finish it:
Red Thunder I can't remember who wrote it. ):

- die of boredom:
Logos Run William C. Dietz. I just kept hoping it would get better... but it never did! ):

- learn something new:
Sherlock Holmes!

- squirm with squickiness:
Ewww, Frankenstein by Dean Koontz.

- squirm with glee:
Umm... hmmm. Not sure.

- very embarrassed to be reading it:
Hahah, I can't remember the last book I read to do that. Some 'urban fantasy' book, probably. Romance books like to disguise themselves as that...

- angry:
Wow, I'm straining my brain to think of this... I haven't read much lately, can you tell?

It's mostly just so I can do a meme.

Really

really hate them.

_{I'm also super bored.}

So college starts in five days. I'm pretty much counting down to it. I'm excited, and nervous.Although I'm actually more worried about taking public transit than I am about classes. That is going to be very new and unknown to me. My very first class also isn't until five at night, so I get to sit and worry all day for it to come. Bleh.


So let's hear an exciting story from everyone about their summer! I want to know what every did!

I'll start off; let's see...

I got lost in the very downtown of Ottawa by myself in a car with an empty tank of gas. I managed to find my way back out, but it was super scary when I didn't know where to go!

Ready? Let's hear some stories!

Two jobs is thougher than I thought. Which is why I haven't posted art for the longest time. I have lots of it, but there mostly just doodles. ): Boo. I'll try to fix that soon, really. lol

It's killer; I want to keep this site updated but the little free time I have I usually want to just sit and do nothing. Haha. I am a LAZY person.

I might post some of my Writer's Craft final up. I hadn't given that much thought, but I haven't shown much writing up here lately k, or anything else but we'll ignore that point. I got a 90% on it which made me one happy camper because that teacher barely gave me anything over an 80%.

So, I have exciting news. Well, I think so; one of my aunt's clients is setting up a breeding stables for horses and offered that I can come out and visit anytime I want. My family is doing a trip down to their area this summer and my mom and I are going to stop in. Right, this guy's daughter? She rides for Jill Henselwood. (Team Canada Olympic Silver Medalist 2008). Networking, maybe??? I hope so, and am pumped either way. I also am taking a Greyhound Bus back home after visiting a friend. SCARY MUCH? I'm bringing mace.

Wish me luck, and don't be afraid to give me a poke once and a while on here if you want to chat or make me put some more art up here!

I just came back from seeing it with some friends. I was a little hesitant, sadly, because I'd heard the reviews on it, and they were mainly bad. I love the Terminator movies, so I wasn't totally deterred.

I won't give anything away; I've got to mention though, that I don't think it was nearly as bad as people said it was. In my opinion, it's the best out of all four movies. It was really fun and there were a lot of ties and references from the other movies that you might not expect. It was nice to actually see John Connor as the main character for once, too.


I'm really excited, the end of the school year is finally coming. And it's my FINAL year. YES. I might get back into posting more art, then. I've been drawing a lot; I just haven't had the energy or time to post any of it up here. I'll try to get back into the swing of things soon. Though I'll be working two jobs, so we'll see how that goes. lol
Just hassle me about it and I'll eventually have to post art.

So how are you guys?
