Sad news. =[

Hey everyone I dedicate this post to Alex Joy. He died today in a car accident. We weren't really friends but it's still sad. Sharing the same classes with him was fun and I'll miss him dearly.

R.I.P Alex!!

*sigh* onto something brighter now. I'm gonna change my layout again before school starts and I want your input, so please take the survey. Make sure to choose a color AND design. That's about it everyone.

Happy Reading!

Busy Blogger....I wish

Today went a little differently than my usual routine. I had an appointment with my optometrist, she says that I need a stronger perscription, which I new. She also said that without my glasses I'm "half blind" I don't know what that means exactly, but I'm pretty sure it's bad. Other than that things went fine. I get my new glasses on the 19th.

Now onto the point of which this particular blog was written. My blog feels a little empty. What things do you think I should add? I'll take all suggestions into consideration. I wanna try something new so feel free to mention anything. I'm planning on reading more very soon. I don't know what's with me, but I haven't been in the mood to read for a while. I guess it's my lack of new reading material.

My schedule is pretty empty 'till the 19th which is the day i get my glasses and have my high school orientation. School starts on the 20th. ugh, so soon! I won't be able to read and do other leisurely things as often. Well umm that's about it.....gimme your suggestions!

Happy Reading!

All-American Girl by Meg Cabot

I'm writing this review just like I promised. I finished the book about 15 minutes ago and it's fresh in my mind. I must admit to you that months ago I read Ready Or Not which is the sequel to All-American Girl. So there was no worrying if Sam would end up with David. Okay here I go.

Top Ten Reasons Samantha Madison is in Deep Trouble

10. Her big sister is the most popular girl in school

9. Her little sister is a certified genius

8. She's in love with her big sister's boyfriend

7. She got caught selling celebrity portraits in school

6. And now she's being forced to take art classes

5. She's just saved the president of the United States from an assassination attempt

4. So the whole world thinks she is a hero

3. Even though Sam knows she is far, far from being a hero

2. And now she's been appointed teen ambassador to the UN

And the number-one reason Sam's life is over?

1. The president's son just might be in love with her

(Summary from back of the book because I'm no good at summary's. Please forgive me. =D)

The book was very unrealistic in two ways. One of which was good and the other bad. The whole saving-the-president-and-his-son-falling-in-love-with-you thing was great. That chosen story line was different and overall very enjoyable. It was fun reading about something that would never happen to me. Meg was very creative while writing this book, but now thinking about it are any of her book realistic? Not really. The part that I didn't like was that Sam was so blind about David liking her. I mean it was so obvious! It kind of got annoying how Sam would get mad or annoyed while David was obviously flirting with her. Also some of the characters were under-developed. I would have loved to get to know Catherine and Rebecca. Overall though the book was very well written and I enjoyed reading it.
