I'm Back!!!

I realize that I have been horribly absent from my blog for quite sometime, but my life is falling back into a routine. This summer was pretty crazy between school and well life. But that is just life and this is a new blog and I am back.

I just moved into a new apartment last week and things have been crazy. So crazy, in fact, that I enjoyed going to work just because it was something that I was used to. I also never knew how much work it takes to move into a new apartment, I can only imagine what it is like to move into a house.

School is starting today and I am…well let’s just say I am ready. Mostly I have been excited about today because I am going to play Dungeons and Dragons tonight at the comic book shop downtown and I have been so looking forward to it!

So consider this post an official “I’m Back!” post, and check back regularly for more from me!

Book Review!!

 

·      Stardust: This was a wonderful love story and one that leaves you feeling great. It is a story about fate, coincidence, adventure, good and evil, and learning about love and growing up. I have never actually read a book by Neil Gaiman before but I know he has written some awesome episodes of Doctor Who. (My favorite TV show) and I did see the movie version of Stardust, which is a pretty cute movie. I would definitely suggest reading this book if you are feeling something upbeat and happy.

·      Brida: Paulho Coehlo is most definitely one of my favorite authors. His writing forces you to think really think about you life and your beliefs. This book was about a young woman, Brida, who is searching for meaning and for something to believe in all while looking for her soulmate. Many of the ideas presented in this book are things that I have thought about a lot before and this made me think about them even more.

·      Salting Roses: This book had a good story, but to be honest I wasn’t a fan of the writing. It was just…obvious and very cliché. It was a fun story about a girl who discovered that she is actually the heir to a multimillion-dollar estate, but I am not sure I would ever recommend this book.
